Not sure you need to do step #3.
We were able to copy all of our data from one VG to another using the
following:
mklv -y N_[OLD_LV] [NEW_VG] [#PP]
chlv -t copy N_[OLD_VG]
cplv -e N_[OLD_LV] -f [OLD_LV]
chlv -n O_[OLD_LV] [OLD_LV]
chlv -n [OLD_LV] N_[OLD_LV]
*chown root.system /dev/*[OLD_LV]
chfs -a dev=/dev/[OLD_LV] [MOUNT POINT]
chfs -a log=/dev/[NEW_VG_LOG] [MOUNT POINT]
*(may not need this step, we had some raw lvs that did)

There's no very easy way to do this. (Not a simple, one-command way,
anyway.)
Essentially, you have to copy all of the data from the current
filesystem to a new one. There are several ways of doing this. Which
you choose will depend on your environment.
1. Back up; delete and re-create the filesystem in the new location;
restore.
2. Use cplv, then chfs to point to the new LV.
3. Create a new filesystem; copy from the old to the new (e.g. cpio);
rename the filesystems.
