Hello again,
As the title tells you, I'm planning to have my old EV both upgraded from version 9.0.3 to 10.0.3 version and migrate it to run on new set of 2 nodes clustered servers... The SQL is already in a separated clustered environment and the archives are stored in centera that will also remain the same location... all servers are already 2008 r2 64bit so there is no need to worry about the migration of the platform from 32bit to 64bit...
In what order should I do this and which directions to follow? Can anyone advice me on this one?
Thanks in advance!

You can use the Server Settings Migration Wizard.

Migrating clustered servers
If you migrate clustered Enterprise Vault servers, you must deploy the target servers in a new cluster. Refer to the Enterprise Vault documentation, which contains the information you need to configure prerequisites and install Enterprise Vault in a cluster.
During the deployment of the new cluster, you can attach to the target servers the data locations that were used by the source servers, with the following exceptions:
In both Microsoft Cluster Services and Veritas Cluster Services, you must create a new data location for the MSMQ queues. Do not attempt to use the MSMQ data location that was attached to the source servers.
In Veritas Cluster Services, you must create a new data location for the RegRep resource. Do not attempt to use the RegRep data location that was attached to the source servers.

And another question, when you first install the 1# EV server, is it to the active node or passive node? and when this is done do check the activity to the other node and then install the 2# server or can it be the unactive when the installation is happening? And why would the second installation complain that it could not install the directory and the installation fails..? missing some step there as well?

And yet another, in basic one server to another migration the importing migration packade is done right after the EV server has been installed BEFORE you do any configuring etc... Is this the same when I import the package to a primary node where I have "empty" EV server installation as well and does the "make this a cluster server" settings come after importing the migration package?? So that for a brief while the 1# node is just one ev server until I somehow turn it into a clustered one??

You are now ready to import the migration package on the primary node. The SSMW should realize it is a cluster and take care of things.
