Thanks: Steve Harris and Kristopher. The answer is simply to move in md.tab and run metainit -a, after I've created new mdb replicas on the new server. md.tab can be generated with metastat -p on the source system, and then edited to taste. Alternatively, md.cf is the same, but gets edited by SVM. Example: d8 -p /dev/dsk/c10t256000C0FFC08D80d0s0 -o 251691011 -b 104857600 So since it's a SAN-attached FC device, the only thing that may need to be changed is the controller, c10. I keep forgetting that you can re-init (metainit) existing SVM volumes.
