have you considered using SANCopy or PowerPath Migration Enabler ?  Win2k3 clusters use disk signatures, so simple drive letter swap will not be sufficient.

PPME is awesome, download the guide ..they have good examples. If you are willing to sacrifice some CPU  (very negligible) and not in a huge hurry, i would chose PPME.

1)  Do you have SANCopy installed on CX500 or VNX ?

2) What version of PowerPath are you using ?

Could you please elaborate on the proper path to using either SANCopy here or PowerPath Migration Enabler?

I do have SANCopy installed on both.  I did find the PP Migration Enabler under PP 5.7 SP1.  To which is deemed the easier path?  I seem to be leaning towards PPME now.

Alternatively use Open Migrator for Windows. Thats a pretty cool tool as well.

wouldn't OM require reboot to install it and then to commit the session ? Any restrictions in MSCS  environment ?

OM does require a reboot sometimes during the attach of the filter driver to the volume/s. Although the documentation does reocmmend to reboot the server. Depends on the state of the volume and whether any exclusive locks on it.

From a cluster perspective, OM 3.12 adds cluster target resources in the Cluster Groups, and requires all nodes in the cluster to be online during the commit.
