one by one disk replace.  if vol0 were a trad volume with 2 disks you would disk replace the first one to a spare disk on the other aggregate.  once complete do the same with the other disk.  do this *one by one* for all disks that make up your vol0 volume.

So go the volume all moved.  Went well.  However, I just realized that
vol0 is on aggr0!  Argh.  Is there any way to relocate vol0 safely
while the filer is running?

I guess I could snapshot it, vol copy it to aggr1... what would be the
side-effects though?
