Moving a Cluster Node

Question

Hi,
We got 1 SunFire12K and 15K and 2 clusters are configured, But the cluster nodes in each cluster are from the same server (15K or 12K), which we feel is not very good. We need to move the cluster nodes across SunFire Servers Following are my queries
1) Is it possible to Move a node from 12K to 15K provided all the IO boards are moved from 12K to 15K
along with all Network and FC interface and the root disk.
In this case do we need to reconfigure the cluster?
2) Is there any other way to implement this with minimal outage on services
Thanks in adv
Raj

I know your post is over 3 years old now - but did you find any problem leading to this behaviour?
I get this error on two different 2008R2 two-node-Clusters holding lots of DFSR resources when failing over or back.
service packs and hotfixes (including all dfsr) are up to date, evering is set up using microsoft best practice.
hardware-specs are fine- cluster1: 78GB memory 8 core, cluster 2: 128GB memory 32 core, emc-storage connected using multiple failsafe and loadbalancing FC8-connections.
storage does not see any unusual load when failing over, disk cue length on cluster nodes <=1 when failing over
debug logs show those entries:

registry keys do exist with correct permissions.
it seems there is some kind of timing issue with unloading/loading
dfsr-related cluster registry entries.
maybe you found some solution for this problem.
