Move cluster to different tier

We have a 2 node win 2k3/sql server 2005 x64 multi instance (a.k.a active/active) cluster in the staging tier and will be "moving" the cluster to a production tier – that means all the IP addresses of the hosts/cluster will be changed. Can somebody point me in the right direction here and let me know
what changes need to be implemented at the cluster level for this transition ? Regards.

Yes please – except the hostnames for the 2 nodes in the cluster everything else including domain, firewalls, IPs will have to be changed. I can’t think of anything else that would affect the cluster.
