# Migrate SQL Server failover cluster to Azure VMware Solution

In this article, you learn how to migrate a Microsoft SQL Server Failover Cluster Instance to Azure VMware Solution. Currently Azure VMware Solution service doesn't support VMware Hybrid Linked Mode to connect an on-premises vCenter Server with one running in Azure VMware Solution. Due to this constraint, the process requires the use of VMware HCX for the migration. Review the [Install and activate VMware HCX in Azure VMware Solution](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-vmware/install-vmware-hcx) article for more details about HCX configuration procedure.

VMware HCX doesn't support migrating virtual machines with SCSI controllers in physical sharing mode attached to a virtual machine. However, we can overcome this limitation by performing the steps detailed in this procedure and using VMware HCX Cold Migration to move the different virtual machines that make up the cluster.

VMware HCX over VPN is supported in Azure VMware Solution for workload migration. However, due to the size of database workloads it is not recommended for Microsoft SQL Server Failover Cluster Instance and Microsoft SQL Server Always-On migrations, especially for production workloads ExpressRoute connectivity is more performant and reliable. For Microsoft SQL Server Standalone and non-production workloads this can be suitable, depending upon the size of the database, to migrate.
