http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff182312%28v=ws.10%29.aspx

we upgrade server 2012 our fileshare cluster. using same physical hardware, , same storage.  file server has several shares, each unique permissions.

the issue have need use same cluster name, same ips, save virtual server names, , same machine names. biggest issue being cluster name , ips.  cannot migration path.

can way?

1. evict 1 node cluster.  upgrade server 2012. have single node cluster on 2008r2, , stand alone server running 2012.

2. remaining node, in place upgrade server 2012. have stand alone cluster running server 2012, , stand alone server running 2012.

add second node cluster. have 2 node server 2012 cluster. 

is supported? can in-place os upgrade stand alone server running 2008r2 cluster services fileshares?  documentation stating supported?
