As a sidebar:

It is not recommended that you put both the journals and the journal
receivers in the second ASP.

Performance is better if you leave the Journals themselves, in ASP 1 and
put the receivers only in ASP 2.

The idea here is that you will only write sequentially to the receivers
and there should be no additional disk arm movement for the access to
the journals.

When you recover ASP 1, just make sure that the journal is the FIRST
thing you restore to the system, after LIC and OS, and before files.
Then re-associate the journals and receivers.
