sql server clustering : Recreate Cluster

I will be replacing the shared storage system for a 2 node
Windows 2000/SQL2000 cluster in a Windows NT4 domain.
Replacing Compaq RA4100 with an HP MSA1000.

My plan is to completely deconstruct the cluster and SQL
virtual server, reinstall operating systems on nodes,
recreate the cluster and virtual server with all the same
parameters (ie...cluster name, IPAddress, virtual SQL
Server name, etc...) but with the new MSA1000 attached.

Should I anticipate any name resolution problems when I
recreate the cluster and virtual server with the same name
as before?

Any hints or suggestions in regards to any phase of this
project would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

There is no DNS or AD. It is an NT 4.0 Domain.

Make sure and delete any 'tombstone' entries in DNS and AD and you should be
OK. Also, make sure that AD has had time to replicate before replacing the
entries.

OK, then make sure the servers, vrtual servers, etc. are out of WINS and the
NT domain before recreating them.
