I'm not sure you have an easy way to do this. The problem as I see it is the 
LVM'd volumes. You have a couple of ways of doing this, but by far the easiest 
way is to mount the new LUN on the server and copy the data. It will involve 
the least downtime and ensures that your Comstar targets are already setup 
correctly.
