I have 2 SQL 2012 Cluster setup and configured.
the Legacy Cluster has all of the databases in place and running.
At some point I need to restore the databases from the legacy cluster to the new cluster but given the size of the databases this could take some time.
I was thinking I could do some sort of TLOG shipping or something to ensure that the new cluster data is kept upto date and then i can just cut over.
I have never done this between 2 x clusters is it possible? is there an alternative to TLOG shipping (I dont want to use 3rd party apps).

Legacy on 2012 or earlier?
I'm not sure you can get the database moved without some sort of backup/restore. Log shipping is just an elongated backup/restore, but since you can keep restoring logs, you can shorten the time.
Don't think 2012 can have an AG span two clusters, but not sure. If so, that's a more "real time" log shipping.
