hmmm except you have really loads of memory on your box, and therefor a large virtual memory area (what I don't really believe), a 36 GB disk should be more than sufficient for rootvg - except you have a lot of application data in the same vg.
If that is the case, I would suggest you rather create a new VG with bigger pp size on the new disk and a few new filesystems and than just copy/paste the data to these new filesystems. Since you're able to change afterwards even mountpoints, you can keep the filesystem structure you already have.
Keeping a system clean might be the better solution than what you're going to do.
You can than drop the no longer needed filesystems from rootvg and can use the space to extend filesystems, if required.
Kind regards
Nicki

remote-filesystems

remote-filesystems(7)					 Miscellaneous Information Manual				     remote-filesystems(7)

NAME

       remote-filesystems - event signalling that remote filesystems have been mounted

SYNOPSIS

       local-filesystems [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

       The  remote-filesystems event is generated by the mountall(8) daemon after it has mounted all remote filesystems listed in fstab(5).  moun-
       tall(8) emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so in parallel with  other
       activity.

       This event is typically used by services that must be started to manage remote filesystems.  When it occurs, local filesystems such as /usr
       may not be mounted.  For most normal services the filesystem(7) event is sufficient.

       This event will never occur before the virtual-filesystems(7) event.

EXAMPLE

       A service that wishes to be running once remote filesystems are mounted might use:

	      start on remote-filesystems

SEE ALSO

       mounting(7) mounted(7) virtual-filesystems(7) local-filesystems(7) all-swaps(7) filesystem(7)
