Hi Richard

How about this?
Backup your disk stgpool to a separate, distinct copypool (just for ease of
restore you could use your regular copypool)

When you get to the new system, mark your old volumes as destroyed, define
your new disk volumes and add them to the stgpool, then run a RESTORE
STGPOOL to get your data back.
