Change host connected to a EMC symmetrix array

Hi,
I have a symmetrix disk array connected to a PA-RISC HPUx 11.11 machine. This disk array is the secondary node of a two nodes system replicated by SRDF. At the same time, this secondary system has a BCV zone used to perform clone's from the secondary zone. I mean, disk array one receives a write petition, writes it on R1 and R2 using SRDF, then once a day we launch a clone on BCV zone on disk array two to perform the backup over the clone zone.
Now I'm going to connect the secondary disk array on a new machine, so I have to move the LVM structure from old machine (A) to the new one (B).
As the R2 zone and BCV zone disk will have the same ID... how should I proceed?
1. on machine A, vgchgid on disks belonging to the same vg on clone zone BCV.
2. on machine A, vgexport both zones, R2 and BCV.
3. on mahine B, create /dev/vg?? dirs and minors.
4. on machine B once the secondary disk array is connected, vgimport using map file created on machine A.

Is this correct?
Thanks in advance.
