G1 to G2 is just an update of the 5x controller driver. You can add this
to the G1 and it will find it when you boot the G2.
G2 to G3 is a no go as G3's use the new Ultra320 SCSI drives and don't
support anything else. You'll have to use ghost or some other kind of
imaging solution for this jump. I use the Compaq rapid deployment pack,
which is free to use for the first 30 days I think, and this supports PXE so
no problem with boot disks.

One warning:
360 G1's do not mirror with G2's by default. You need to first update a
driver (I believe it's the NIC) and then boot it up on a G2. If you just
break a G1 and recreate on a G2, you will get BSOD.
I'm not sure if the same holds true for a G2-G3 mirror.

so you would have to pull the server out of the domain break the mirror ,
put the disk in a new machine, change the name, join the domain. Is that
correct?

Don't forget, you can also build that server with a RAID 1 array, just break
the mirror, boot up another server with one half of the broken mirror,
rename and re-ip the server and you're in. (Network card settings need to
be refreshed to set the MAC address)

I found a kick butt boot disk that will auto-detect network drivers, and had
a lot of prebuilt NIC packages for download. You can get more info and
downloads from http://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/ <http://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/>
