MSCS DR

Hello All

I am posting in this forum in hope that an MSCS expert can help me out
here. I posted in the Exchange forum but didn't get the answers I was
after so here goes:

Here is the scenario:

We have an Exchange 2003 cluster stretched across two locations in an
Active/Passive configuration. Both cluster nodes talk to the primary
SAN array. The primary SAN is mirrored to the DR location using Aysnc
replication (logs, stores and Quorom) and this is fully supported by MS
at this point.

Here is the question:

In the event that we loose the primary site (A node and SAN) will I be
able to present the DR SAN disk array to the node in the DR location
and bring the EVS up?

I am thinking that MSCS might see the DR disks as a new disk resource
and will choke on this.

Any thoughts. I have been discussing this with the storage vendor but
they cannot answer this question.

Thanks

AJ
