Exchange 2010 server failover / database site move

New to exchange. What I need to do is move all mailboxes from one site to another site, like a DR

Topology is:
Site A and Site B: Each have Four servers, 2 have CAS Server, Hub Transport Server, Mailbox Server, Public Folder Server, the other 2 have CAS Server, Hub Transport Server, Mailbox Server

Have one DAG at each site and two CAS servers

From what I understand, I believe I'd want to move the active DB copy to another DAG member, switchover? Looking at this link: http://www.techrid.com/exchange-server-2010/moving-the-active-database-copy-to-another-dag-member-in-exchanger-server-2010/

Any advice or guidance would be appreciated.

Have one DAG at each site

To clarify...does this mean you have two separate DAGs? Or one DAG that covers both sites? Your description is a little confusing.

Sorry Adam, one DAG at each site, will be more specific:

Site A
Server A1: CAS Server, Hub Transport Server, Mailbox Server, Public Folder Server
Server A2: CAS Server, Hub Transport Server, Mailbox Server, Personal Archive
Server A3: CAS Server, Hub Transport Server, Mailbox Server
Server A4: CAS Server, Hub Transport Server, Mailbox Server
Server A5: CAS Server
Server A6: CAS Server
Server A7: CAS Server, Hub Transport Server, Mailbox Server (HA)
Server A8: CAS Server, Hub Transport Server, Mailbox Server (HA)
DAG @ site A: member servers: B7/B8/A4/A3/A2/A1

Site B
Server B1: CAS Server, Hub Transport Server, Mailbox Server, Public Folder Server
Server B2: CAS Server, Hub Transport Server, Mailbox Server, Personal Archive
Server B3: CAS Server, Hub Transport Server, Mailbox Server
Server B4: CAS Server, Hub Transport Server, Mailbox Server
Server B5: CAS Server
Server B6: CAS Server
Server B7: CAS Server, Hub Transport Server, Mailbox Server (HA)
Server B8: CAS Server, Hub Transport Server, Mailbox Server (HA)
DAG @ site B: member servers: B4/B3/B2/B1/A8/A7

Then one more "Test" DAG with prod mailboxes that need to be failed over.

Please let me know if you need more info. Thanks
