we did check all the parameters and we did all the required ugrades prior to the migration , it still dont make sense why the new devices will become not accesable when we remove the old drive from the system.

5. then rebuit the qorum disk , and as well recreate the cluster resource.
The only place I can see room for error might be here. You replaced the quorum disk from the old SAN with a disk from the new SAN, correct? There shouldn't be a need to recreate any resources.
If the migration is finalized and the new data disk is no longer part of the cluster there should be no impact removing the old SAN disk. Replacing the quorum disk with a new one should also not cause lost connection to the SAN especially if you are using Cluster Administrator to do it.
what happens , if i remove the data and quorum disk from old san just on the active cluster , with passive completely shut down. Do this still cause the data not accessible on the active node ( with quorum not yet configured & passive node is down). then i see all the data on the new san i then recreate the quorum from the scratch, is this possible .
