Personally I mount the volumes in each Dom0 and use Rsync. Eg :

On server2, make filesystems etc, and mount them on /mnt.

On server1, mount filesystems on /mnt

then :
rsync -avH --numeric-ids /mnt/ root@server2:/mnt/


There isn't really a right or wrong way - they all have their pros 
and cons. I'm just used to rsync and using it allows me to easily 
alter filesystem sizes and/or mountpoint layouts if required. Eg, if 
you've decided to put /var/spool/mail on it's own volume, you can 
just do the extra mount on the destination and everything gets sorted 
in the copy (apart from tweaking fstab that is).
