Need tyo move unraided disks

I have a client whose data disks were initially setup as JBOD. Since being
setup some years ago, they have added disks, and put the new disks in raid
sets. So now they have 2 raid sets (presented as 2 disks) and 6 unprotected
9GB disks, all of which are being used.

Fortunately, the OS is not on the disks in question. Unfortunately, the
client has added and extended volumes over the years so that the file
systems and raw database devices are intertwined through the 6 unprotected
disks and the 2 raidsets. The raw devices won't be an issue after next
week as the client is converting their database and I can get rid of them.
The file systems will still be there though.

Any thoughts on the best way to put these 6 unprotected disks into a raid
set without wiping out the data and restoring (before one of them dies and I
have to do a complete restore anyway...)? The system is an ES40 running
5.1A with an HSZ70. Another note is that although the OS is not in LSM, the
entire app and database are in rootdg...

Any help would be appreciated.

Rob
