you can use the "find" command to search for files which of two days old. Then you may simply copy them to another location, OR if you created a new partition on your new SAN disk, you can transfer it using ufsdump

DESCRIPTION

       Note: this tunable is obsoleted and has been renamed to beginning with release HP-UX 11i v3.

       This  tunable  notifies the tape driver whether it should allow access to device special files without the no-rewind-on-close option.  When
       this tunable is on the tape driver will fail any open on a tape device special file without the no-rewind-on-close option (that is, or with
       a status of

       The  tunable  allows  the  safe	sharing of tape devices in SAN tape backup solution configurations.  The disabling of device special files
       without no-rewind-on-close in a SAN tape backup solution configuration prevents the accidental sending of a rewind command  on  close  from
       HP-UX systems via standard tape commands like which would corrupt a backup in process.

   Who Is Expected to Change This Tunable?
       Anyone.

   When Should the Tunable Be Turned On?

   What Are the Side Effects of Turning the Tunable On?
       The  tape  driver  will	fail any open to a tape device special file that does not have the no-rewind-on-close option with a status of This
       behavior prevents the usage of any tape device special file without the no-rewind-on-close option.

   When Should the Tunable Be Turned Off?
       This tunable should be turned off if the system is not part of a SAN tape backup solution configuration or the  system  utilizes  will  not
       function unless it has access to device special files without the no-rewind-on-close option.

   What Are the Side Effects of Turning the Tunable Off?
       A rewind may be issued from this system accidentally on close possibly corrupting a backup being issued from another system on the SAN.

   What Other Tunables Should Be Changed at the Same Time?
       None.

WARNINGS

       HP-UX.

       Installation of optional kernel software, from HP or other vendors, may cause changes to tunable  parameter  values.   After  installation,
       some  tunable  parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended values.  For information about the effects of installation on tun-
       able values, consult the documentation for the kernel software being installed.	For information about optional kernel  software  that  was
