Question : Moving SQL Server 2005 databases to a larger storage area network (SAN) disk

Has anyone used this method of moving SQL databases to another disk and was it successful?
Note:  This is a SQL Cluster configuration.  I am needing to move my SQL databases to a larger disk.  Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

1. Stop the SQL Server, SQL Agent, and MS Search services.
2. Copy the data to the new larger storage disk.
3. Swap the new storage drive letters with the corresponding old storage drive letter.
4. Modify the stopped services’ startup type to "manual."
5. Reboot the database server.
6. Restart the SQL Server, SQL Agent, and MS Search services.
7. Run DBCC CHECKDB to verify database consistency.
8. Modify the stopped services’ startup type to "automatic."

Dear Trackpads

i went throw this exercise before several times

all you need to do is

1.Detach the Database
2.Copy the database to the new location
3.Attach it from the new location

you dont need to stop any service, only you need to stop any connection to the database or any application using it
