Migrating luns to new nodes

We've added 4 new nodes to our cluster (9.8P3) for a total of 8 nodes.  We're in the process of migrating from node 01-04 to nodes 05-08.  NAS (cifs, nfs) we can just move volumes (vol move) then migrate lifs to new nodes.  My question is with block (iscsi, fc) since we cannot migrate lifs we've created new lifs for new nodes on each svm supporting  iscsi and fc.  For each fc host we update zoning with new wwpn , add-reporting-nodes for each lun, move volumes then remove-reporting-nodes for each lun.  This is very time consuming with alot of fc host and luns.  Is there a simpler way of migrating volumes containing luns to new nodes within the same SVM.  Can we migrate volumes then shutdown each fc lif and restart on new nodes avoiding rezoning?  Any help is greatly appreciated.
