2008r2 hyper-v 2.0 to server 8 hyper-v 3.0 in place upgrade

-

hello,

just planning future.  can comment of inplace upgrade capability 2008r2 server 8 on hyper-v?

i have been planning massive recnfiguration of our infrastructure, might prefer wait server 8 if inplace upgrade option.

thanks

there has been no official word on on-place upgrades yet.  historically, these not made until rtm.

the history of upgrade process has been following (from server 2008 2008 r2 sp1): 

power off vms, delete snapshots taken of vms while running (delete saved state), export, upgrade, create virtual networks, import vms.

personally, have never had 100% luck inplace upgrade.  since days of server 2003 build new servers on clean instalaltions , migrate applications.  consider no different.  thre baggage upgrade , comes drivers, hardware agents, weird configuration tweaks, , not.  - but, of course, not official statement.
