Build new cluster vs. expand existing cluster

Hi All,We currently have an 1 Block, 3-node cluster (NX-1065-G5) with approximately 50 VMs on it.  It is approaching end of life, and we are replacing it with another 1 Block, 3-node unit (NX-1065N-G8).  At end-state all of the VMs will be on the new hardware, and the old hardware will be powered down.Would we be better to…Build the new unit as a brand new cluster, and move all the VMs to it using Nutanix Move. Expand the existing cluster by adding the new hardware to it, and then remove the old hardware from the cluster. Has anyone gone through either of these processes?Thank you for your suggestions.Marlon M.

Ad Hoc Snapshots

We've just gotten started with Nutanix, and I have a question about snapshots. Do I need to create a Protection Domain before I can create a snapshot? I'm not looking to take snapshots of a bunch of machines or have scheduled snapshots. I just want to make one snapshot of a single Windows server before I upgrade some software on it. We are running AHV as our hypervisor. Thank you
