Change SRDF target array

I have a source SRDF DMX-3 that SAR replicates to a DMX2000. The DMX2000 is being replaced with a DMX3000. Does anyone have an overview of the steps to follow to make this happen? I use dynamic SRDF for both mainframe and linux groups. I know I have to delete the current environment while the DMX2000 is still online, and recreate the groups after the DMX3000 is online, but I wondered if anyone had created a checklist for this type of activity.
Thanks!

It's hard to write a checklist not knowing in deep details the environment, but I'll try to sketch a list of steps.

1) STOP SAR (obvious .. but let's write it in the checklist ;-) ) and delete current DG
2) cencel R2/BCV relationship on Dmx2000
3) deletepair between R1 and actual R2 devices
4) delete RDF groups between DMX3 and Dmx2000
5) delete old zones (if using switched RDF)
6) create new zones when Dmx3000 is ready and available on the SAN (if using switched RDF)
7) create new RDF group between new boxes (DMX3 and Dmx3000)
8) create new RDF pairs between DMX3 and Dmx3000, wait for full establish
9) establish R2 with BCVs on Dmx3000, wait for full establish
10) use SRDF/AR manual to build the new DG and setup the SRDF/AR environment.
