Migrate vSAN witness appliance to new host

I have added a second host to our vSAN witness site and ensured that the hardware and network configurations are identical, except for the IPs in use of course. I found the following question from 2017 but since I am new to vSAN and am running 7.0, wanted to get some additional confirmation. Does anyone know if migrating the vSAN witness appliance to a new host is supported?

@sim80n , yes it is fine and supported - as Duncan said in the other post, it is just like any other VM.

Just a short addendum for anyone reading this in future - when I say a Witness is just like any other VM, I mean for HA/DRS/vMotion only, operations such as snapshot, replication etc. should NOT be performed on Witnesses and are unsupported.
