It sounds like you want to build a parallel Sun Cluster while VCS is active. WOW! My initial reaction would be no. But.... Why not? Since you're going to be using on a completely different storage frame. You would be looking at a second set of resources, such as VIP's. You already have the SAN. Even if you're able to get fairly far into the build, you won't be able to test it very well. Honestly, I don't know the answer you're looking for. If it were me, I would start by disabling and shutting down VCS. If they can't give you a maintenance window to do the work, do they understand the risk of having this box sitting there like a dead fish? Be sure to break the mirroring so you have a quick way to get back to a running and healthy cluster.
"I" still would not go this route. You will most likely create a lot more headaches than what you may be prepared for.
Is it possible for you to take one of the nodes out of the VCS cluster and build that one as a Sun Cluster? Easily done if you have a active/passive cluster. Then you would have two one node clusters. Your VCS cluster can keep your production apps up and running during your build of the Sun Cluster node. Once finished, you can add the VCS node to your Sun Cluster node.

NAME
clinfo - display cluster information SYNOPSIS
clinfo [-nh] DESCRIPTION
The clinfo command displays cluster configuration information about the node from which the command is executed. Without arguments, clinfo returns an exit status of 0 if the node is configured and booted as part of a cluster. Otherwise, clinfo returns an exit status of 1. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -h Displays the highest node number allowed to be configured. This is different from the maximum number of nodes supported in a given cluster. The current highest configured node number can change immediately after the command returns since new nodes can be dynam- ically added to a running cluster. For example, clinfo -h might return 64, meaning that the highest number you can use to identify a node is 64. See the Sun Cluster 3.0 System Administration Guide for a description of utilities you can use to determine the number of nodes in a cluster. -n Prints the number of the node from which clinfo is executed. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. 1 An error occurred. This is usually because the node is not configured or booted as part of a cluster. ATTRIBUTES
