Migrate Informix to new IBM AIX pSeries Server

Hi ~ I need to migrate our Production Informix Environment (IDS 10) to a new pSeries Server. The Current Server is a power5 and tne new server is a power6. The Current Production Server is running AIX 5.3. The OS (rootvg) is installed on internal scsi drives - whereas all application and database Environments are installed and running on SAN Attached Storage. I wonder if this method will work: 1. Shutdown the Applications and databases on the server and perform a mksysb of the system 2. Shutdown the system 3. Without Exporting the Database And Application Volume Groups - remap the LUNS to the New Server 4. Boot new server to mksysb tape and restore the OS My reason for not exporting the data and app volume groups is so that when the mksysb is restored - the volumes that contain the data and apps will already be there and available to the system. Please comment on this procedure and your experiences with what works and what does not work. What about symbolic links to the data chunks? Are they restored as well? This is new for me and any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
