Migrate Windows 2008 standalone DFS to Windows 2008 R2 Clustered DFS standalone

hello

i currnely tasked revisiting our dfs setup. have standalone dfs running on windows 2008 enterprise. not have replication setup dfs shares. data located on several servers mixture of 2003 , 2008. thought create clustered pair using windows 2008 r2 , move data our san.

not sure of of steps or if best path go. plan build clustered pair export root dfs structure , import new clusted pair. after setup replication each of servers moves data san. change referral status after data in sync disabling old replication partner.

reading forum not sure if frm toolkit might work. keep downtime minimum. 1 option make current dfs root server part of domain no sure how move cluster etc.

any ideas of directions helpful.

thank you
