Dear Gurus
I have 2 node ( V440 ) cluster running vcs/vxvm ( 4.1
) on Solaris 9
which are connected to two 3510 FC array ( Directly
attached Storage ), and lUNs are mirrored cross for
HA.

Objective
==========
a) Upgrade the disk in Storage from 72gb to 300gb (
Migrate data as well )
b) Introduce Brocade Fabric switches ( 200e ) and
connect each Storage to FC switch
and connect each node to FC switches.

Questions
----------
Here the steps i want to take . please guide if i am
missing anything
Is there anything that i have to edited in VCS or
Vxvm.

Steps for replacing second storage ( to be done on
passive node )
====================================

boot the system into Single User Mode ( without
cluster )
Break the mirror
Remove the Secondary Path to Second Storage (B)
Install Brocade FC switch 1
Upgrade the Second Storage (B)
Connect the Second Storage (B) to FC Switch 1
Connect the passive node to FC switch 1
Reboot the Machine to detect new Controller
Configuration
verify LUNs check format output etc
Migrate the data from Storage A to Storage B (
ReMirror again )

Steps for replacing the first storage
=======================================
Failover to passive node
will be same as above .( Reync with Second Storage )

Thanks in advance .
