Add storage to an existing Sql 2008 r2 cluster.

[jlh1]

I need to add storage to an existing Sql 2008 r2 cluster.

My setup
2 windows 2008 r2 servers.
C: 80 gig , E: 300 gig (SAN)
Sql 2008 r2 cluster install
Sql Data Drive on SAN

I have created 3 new volumes on the SAN that I would like to assign to the existing sql cluster to separate Data, Logs and the TempDB to separate drives.

Planned Steps
Assign access to the two SQL servers for the new volumes on the san.
Format drives with 64k allocation units on the active sql server.
From the cluster server add a disk from the Cluster Manager.
Dismount data and move to new data drive.
Move logs to new log drive.
Create second Tempdb on new tempdb drive.

After reading several sites on how to add storage to a sql cluster it seems fairly straight forward.

Can some recommend more reading so that I can get the steps need. Any tips that I should do or not do to help the process go smoothly would be of great help.

Thanks
