Should be as simple as shutting down the SAN, plugging the cables into  
the new switch, and starting the SAN back up.... i think. Haven't  
actually done this myself, but I don't foresee any problems.

And just to be clear, all SAN clients must be on the MD network, not  
just the MDCs.

Nothing that comes to mind... Were you doing any VLAN magic on the old  
switch?
