Moving cluster server to new location

We are in the process of migrating our data center to a new location. we
have a cluster server running win2k advance server active passive mode with
Sql server 2000 on it. Any one has any ideas or best practice notes on the
best way to do it.Hi

and user database from the old server then restore the data on the new
server. Any one had done this , will this work.
If we cannot afford down time then what is the best way to sync. the two
server.
If i am physicaly moving the old server to the new location do you think i
will have to break the cluster because the storage is on a san in the
current location.
My planning is in a very primitive stage now. Any input is apprieciated.
Thanx.
