re-configure D220 with external storage

[Ferdinand_5]

I have got this old D220 box which was configured like this when I got it.

What would be a good strategy to reduce the number of VG's? ( coz I think I can get some space if I do that )
I also have an unused 9.1 Gig dsk which I would like to replace the 4 gig disk with.

The dds tape unit is broken so I cannot backup.
I do have 8-ish gig on another server I can use to copy data to and from.

What would be a good stategy?
