Are your disks identical?
If strictly identical, there is an option you should try: vgreduce or split the mirror to have only one disk in vg00 then do a dd...
It should boot...
dont forget to turn off the VG_AUTO_ACTIVATE for vg01... for you will need to import the correct definition of the VG (dont know how you will do that though for SAN is not the same...)
My 2 cents:
I would go and boot the system, that will complain (duplicate address) so try to boot single user modify all that is need, ( /etc/lvmtab, fstab etc...) give a new IP and get your network team to create a VLAN so you can use it even if you are the only node in that sublan...
Once OK, activate you mirroring...
Now add vg01 (pvcreate etc...) and create all lvm as on the original.
Either copy or restore (if you backup utility will do such tasks...).
All this should be done at init level2 to be safe with no fancy unwanted overhead.

this sort of manipulation were my daily routine one time, but long, long ago...
An L3000 had at configuration/order time an option at order: you could choose a tape drive OR a DVD internal... If you wanted both you had to choose which device was external.. I had both and believe the internal tape was the best choice...

P.S.
I did also use the mirror, but had some much issues I gave up... the best of all is by far the Ignite tape, since you can start almost a fresh "install" and configure the new box immediately by giving his new name , IP etc...
Ever considered Ignite via LAN?

DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Oracle::WhereJoins(3)	User Contributed Perl Documentation	  DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Oracle::WhereJoins(3)

NAME

       DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Oracle::WhereJoins - Oracle joins in WHERE syntax support (instead of ANSI).

PURPOSE

       This module is used with Oracle < 9.0 due to lack of support for standard ANSI join syntax.

SYNOPSIS

       DBIx::Class should automagically detect Oracle and use this module with no work from you.

DESCRIPTION

       This class implements Oracle's WhereJoin support.  Instead of:

	   SELECT x FROM y JOIN z ON y.id = z.id

       It will write:

	   SELECT x FROM y, z WHERE y.id = z.id

       It should properly support left joins, and right joins.	Full outer joins are not possible due to the fact that Oracle requires the entire
       query be written to union the results of a left and right join, and by the time this module is called to create the where query and table
       definition part of the SQL query, it's already too late.

METHODS

       See DBIx::Class::SQLMaker::OracleJoins for implementation details.

BUGS

       Does not support full outer joins.  Probably lots more.
