Oh, for this to work you CANNOT change the folder structure whatsoever. And
stop the MSFTE service too.
For example
Robocopy D:\ G:\ /S /E /COPYALL

Then I think you are doing it the hard way.
Move the mailbox databases, DISMOUNT (or stop MSExchangeIS) on the passive
server, mount both the new storage and the old storage at the same time, copy
from old to new, remove the old storage, remap the new storage to the proper
drive letters (or mount point), start MSExchangeIS.
Of course, as always, I would suggest you have a good backup "just in case".
But this process is pretty well-defined IMO.

The main thing is to get the databases on the new SAN.
The virtualization can wait; it was suggested to do them both at once, but it's
not required.
*yet*
Thanks Michael!

So you are actually trying to do two things at once?
[1] Move your mailbox servers to virtual,
[2] Move your mailbox server storage to "new storage"?

Subject: Exchange 2010 DAG move to new storage
I have an Exchange 2010 DAG with 2 mailbox servers and 2 CAS servers.
The CAS servers are already virtual.
I need to move the databases to our new SAN.
The problem is that the mailbox servers are physical, with two fiber
connections.
I do have the option of adding a third mailbox server (virtual).
The plan so far, would be to bring up the third mailbox server, add it to the
DAG, add mailbox copies.
Take one physical server, mark the databases passive, remove the databases,
remove it from the DAG.
P2V it, bring it back up, add it back to the DAG, add mailbox copies to it on
the new storage.
Rinse and repeat for the third server.
Will that work?
Am I going about it bass-ackwards?
Is there an easier way?
Thanks!
Candee
