So, the choice is either to use Windows Server 2003 file cluster or upgrade to EV8 / EV9 ...
Let's assume I built the new Windows Server 2003 file cluster. Can I use the following steps:
- use robocopy to copy un-archived files from the old file cluster to new file cluster
- add the new file cluster in the EV7.0

Is the following scenario possible at all:
- copy / mirror the volume from the old SAN storage to the new one, by using its storage level mirroring function
- somehow 'tell' the EV7 server to recognize the placeholders
