There are some reports on the newsgroups of storage validation failures after upgrading 3+ node clusters to Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. It seems Microsoft is aware of the issue and they are investigating. I have been following this thread to keep up to date on the issue

Intend to upgrade to 3+ node clusters?

You might want to wait for some sort of resolution before you apply SP1 to your clusters.
