That would be helpful; try this...

1- Shutdown all instances in affected box
2- Ask Sysadmin to duplicate all your filesystem structure including Oracle binaries, etc. onto your new host.
3- Let Sysadmin map LUNs to new host
4- Startup instances in new host

...as you can see this works as a cold backup.
