SAN Migration From Brocade to MDS

Hi Guys

I am planning to migrate an old Brocade SilkWorm (2 nos in redundant)based  to new MDS switches .There is an IBM Storage(will be removed ) connected with 8 Servers 4 of them in Cluster oracle and exchange.We are planning to install the new CX4 to the new SAN and all data from the IBM Storage is to be migrated to the new CX4 box using open migrator .The plan is roughly like this

1.Install the new MDS Switch

2.Remove the Second HBA (ie from the redundant HBA) from the Brocade switch and connect it to the new MDS.

3.Connect the new clariion ports to the MDS and luns are presented to the existing servers.

4.Data migration is done using open migrator .

5.Old storage is shut down .

6.Second MDS switch is installed and the remaining connections are made through it.

Guys any body have any comments or advice .

Please Give me

Thanks in Advance
