It is not clear whether the OP already has one SYSUAF etc on the ALPHA 
cluster.  If not, then it would be a good idea to change this; it is a 
good recommendation independently of moving from one cluster to another.

As for the move itself, I would also recommend a mixed-architecture 
cluster and gradually phase out the ALPHA nodes and phase in the Itanium 
nodes.
