Robert, Seeing as you may have a different vendor in the new site XRC is probably the best solution. TDMF would be another choice, but it's not as flexible when you want to resynch volumes.
You could migrate to an interim, rental box at the old site and use asynchronous remote copy to a same vendor box at the new site. Of course I'd recommend two small USP-V and HUR for this. You can keep using the 2105-800 as virtualized backstore at the old site, and just rent a controller frame and a few internal disks to facilitate migration, journals, and performance improvement.
