Please be more specific. You have replicated the DB and log to new storage disk or moved it using ESM. If you have copied it to new location , you may need to change the location using ADSIEDIT . And also try to maintain the same path . you can change the drive letter using adsiedit.

NO, I have replicated the data from the old HP XP20K storage to the new HP XP20K storage using CA or business copy and using same disk space in replication. If we do that and then present the new XP disk with the same Drive letter etc, and then stop and restart the store to bring exchange back online. yes i like to use same drive letter by doing that i like perform below steps correct me if that going to work 1. bring offline clusters and exchange resorces and stop all services 2. unpresent those old disk LUN from old storage and present new Disk LUN which is replicated data to new Storage 3. bring cluster service online with quarum 4. make sure all new disk LUNs come up with same drive letters for exchange DB and Logs disk 5. start exchange serices online is that posible in cluster nodes? thank you in advance for reply me

I think it should work. Please ensure you start the same node whic you stopped last. That is you failed over to node B from Node A. Switched off all service oon node A, then stopped all services on Node B. Then once you have switched on to new storage, switch on Node B and let the services come up and then connect node A. I think you may get better docs from HP storage for this
