We have an EMC environment (Symmetrix)
and are changing from SCSI-attached (Adp.2944)
to Fabric-attached (lp9002-emc + lp9802-emc)

boot disk (Win2K) is already inside the Symm. but still connected via SCSI

I need a little advice how to do the swap of the boot interfaces.

What we've planned (but not tested yet):
1) install FC-HBA in SCSI-Boot-OS
2) install+configure emulex driver in SCSI-OS
3) install emulex tools in SCSI-OS
4) install Boot-BIOS on HBA
5) configure Symm. (LUN masking) to present Boot-Disk via Fibre
6) reboot Win2k (swap from SCSI-OS to Fibre-OS)
7) everything up and running (hopefully???)

Do you think the procedure described above will do the trick?
If NOT, what should/could be done better?

Any tips/hints welcome.

Thanks -Steffen.
