Moving cluster to completely new hardware???

[lanman1865]

I am moving our cluster to new hardware. Most of the disks will be moved to the new MSA1000. I tried this week to move things. I first got all things backed up. Then installed os and SP4 for 2000 adv server. installed veritas Remote agent. I did the restore of C: and system state and before rebooting reinstall DL 380 drivers for array controller. Now the thing that was a pain and tricky was the new network cards. I had to delete HKLM\System\CCSet\Services\tcpip the old nics withe ip address, otherwise you get the message that the ip is already assigned. I fixed that and got the cluster group up and the other two i got up their disks, ip, and netname. Now MSSQL would come online. The event basically said path not found, and theres ource just fails. Now all is there in the shared disks.

I ideas please post. Also th epasive node I restore c,d and sys state, but coudl failover to it, but the heartbeat private net worked.
