Need Help On Solaris Cluster Steps For San Migration
I am going to do a SAN Array migration and need the sequence of steps required on the Solaris cluster before moving the old array luns to new array luns.

Here are the steps and I need info on the bold pointsSmilie I might even be wrong on the sequence of steps please correct me if I am wrong)

1. need to move all the cluster services to a single node
2. perform host remediations on the node 2
3. reboot node 2 and move the cluster services to node 2
4. perform host remediations on node 1
5. reboot node 1 and move the cluster services to node 1, shutdown node 2
6. perform the cleanup steps to remove old array luns
7. make sure that the applications dont come back automatically on reboot
8. make necessary changes so that when we reboot the node 1 will be able to use new array luns( because after this step we will remove the old array luns and present new array luns)
9. shutdown node 1
10. start Array migration procedure from old array to new array
11. once we are comfortable with the percentage completed we can turn on node 1
12. turn on node 1 and mount the new volumes from new array
13. turn on node 2 and failover to node 2 to check cluster services are running properly
14 once everything looks fine( this finishes the migration)

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris  invokes  the  Solaris  Install  program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

           Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

           Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

           Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

           Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

           Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

           Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris  exists  only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.
