Windows 2003 Server 2 node cluster

[Guest]

We are required to replace 1 node in our Windows 2003 Server 2 node cluster.
The existing node is being replaced due to hardware issues within the server.
The server is setup as a raid 1 with 4 physical drives as 2 logicals. We are
hoping we can simply remove the drives from the faulty node and place them in
the replacement hardware which will be identical in hardware. We are going
to test first our test environment before tryiong this in our prod
environment. Can this be done or what can anyone recommend/technet articles
etc. in performing this. Thanks.

This question isn't likely to find eyes that can answer it in this group,
which is devoted to Windows Defender support.

In addition to identical hardware, be sure to check driver and firmware
versions. You may also want to ask this in a forum provided by the vendor
of your server hardware.

I'm skeptical--if I understand this right--you have effectively two mirrored
drives. I think you should probably break each mirror, install the drives,
then re-create the mirror on the new system--but this is way beyond my
competence, and I know nothing about clustering--so please find additional
advice!
