Changing hyper-v cluster quorum to new storage

I have hyper-v cluster and need to replace hardware.
New servers are installed and joined in cluster with new storage. Old nodes cannot see new storage and new nodes cannot see old storage.
Virtual machines are migrated to new storage and nodes, only one old node is left in cluster.
Quorum disk is in the old storage and cannot be changed to new storage, there is an error coming up

What is the resolution?

Just remove the old quorum, remove the old host and add new quorum?

    Hello there,

    The quorum model in Windows Server is flexible. If you need to modify the quorum configuration for your cluster, you can use the Configure Cluster Quorum Wizard or the FailoverClusters Windows PowerShell cmdlets.

    The quorum for a cluster is determined by the number of voting elements that must be part of active cluster membership for that cluster to start properly or continue running.

    This article provides background and steps to configure and manage the quorum in a failover cluster.

    Hope this resolves your Query !!
