Reboot SAN of SQL Cluster

We are planning a recycle of our SAN to which our active/passive 2-node SQL
cluster is attached. Is there anything special to be aware of?
We will do the following steps:
Pause the passive node
using Cluster Admin, stop SQL service
Power down active node server
power down passive node server
after SAN recycle complete
Power up active node server
power up passive node server
restart (resume) passive node
Any insight is greatly appreciated!!
Go ahead and take the entire SQL resource group offline. Then take the
cluster group offline. Down the host nodes, reboot the SAN, then restart
the nodes one at a time.

|||If you are on a geo cluster (2 disk arrays replicated via a dedicated
technology), first restart the node which was stopped last (for cluster
service).
