Enterprise Vault 8 Server Consolidation

Hi, 

I have a few EV8 (MS Failover) clusters running Enterprise Vault 8 in active / passive configuration using shared storage (cluster shared volumes). It was previously connected to an Exchange environment which has now been decommissioned. The content of the EV environment still needs to be accessed for a few months, however we would like to consolidate the servers as much as possible in the interim. My question is in regards to how we would go about consollidating the EV servers currently three active servers into one if possible active and one passive, there is no longer a requirement for the Archiving / Journaling task to be running. We would also like to P2V the clustered EV servers (active / passive) that will be remaining once the consolidation is complete. 

Any assistance would be appreciated. 

Thanks.

how much longer do you need to access the environment and for what purpose? might not be worth the trouble or the risk.
