Host by Host migration is the way to go, but definitely use a new NFS share and not the original one.
One more word or warning, try to keep the amount of time you have a three Host cluster to a minimum as this can result in an unstable Pool if the Pool Master goes offline.

We are using NFS for all storage and we match all requirements in term of networking for cloudstack installation. my question is it safe to install cloudstack on the existing pool ? or that will affect the existing VMs and or hosts ? I am ok with migrating all existing VMs to cloudstack or even not migrating them. my only concern is that If cloudstack can co exist with VMs thats are existing in the system and if not if there an easy way to make existing VMs managed by cloudstack thanks Need Enterprise Grade Support for Apache CloudStack?
