The host id should not be an issue.
Since you made the backup on a mirrored system, the meta partition
containing the mirror information was also copied. I'm not sure what
version of I/A that you are running, but typically you don't want to
restore the meta partition information. It's best to restore the system as
a single drive system and then remirror the drives if desired - which in
your case you would skip. I have run into this before, but it has been
resolved in recent versions from my experience.
You can recover from this in a couple of ways. First method is to boot off
of the I/A CD, uncompress the meta partition (it's located on the CD, but I
can't recall where) and then follow a manual restore using dd. The second
method may be easier. Boot the I/A CD and do a software install. After
the software installs, copy the restore script to /tmp. Modify the script
so that it does not restore the meta partition information from the backup
tape.
