This sort of a move process should be done when booted in recovery-mode or similar. For AIX, you would boot from mksysb media, for RHEL it's boot thei install media and pick recovery mode etc.
Whatever you do, you need to have the OS in memory only but be able to access this disks. You will need to vary on the volume group and mount the filesystems, probably safest under /mnt.
Only then can you be sure that the filesystems in question are actually idle.
You need to confirm your OS and version before we can assist you much further.
Do you have a recent boot-able backup to recover with at the extreme?

NAME
mounted - event signalling that a filesystem has been mounted
SYNOPSIS
mounted DEVICE=DEVICE MOUNTPOINT=MOUNTPOINT TYPE=TYPE OPTIONS=OPTIONS [ENV]...
DESCRIPTION
The mounted event is generated by the mountall(8) daemon after it has mounted a filesystem. mountall(8) will wait for all services started
by this event to be running, all tasks started by this event to have finished and all jobs stopped by this event to be stopped before emit-
ting any other events related to this filesystem or continuing with other filesystems depending on this one.
The DEVICE, MOUNTPOINT, TYPE and OPTIONS environment variables contain the values of the fstab(5) fields for this mountpoint.
EXAMPLE
A tool that should be run after mounting the /tmp filesystem might use:
start on mounted MOUNTPOINT=/tmp
task
