Change Tracks Per Sector on system Partition

I am having problems mirroring system partitions of a cluster to an offsite
SAN due to differing disk geometry between the local and remote disks; More
specifically the tracks per sector is different, 32 on the local and 63 on
the remote disks.
The system setup is as follows:
A two node MSCS cluster running Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition
Each node has two local physical disks using hardware RAID 1+0 (10)
The shared disk storage for the Quorum and Data partition is a Raid 5 SCSI
JBOD
I am using Veritas Storage Foundation to perform a software mirror of all
disks to our offsite location. This works for all disks except the system
partition which fails due to the difference in tracks per sector on these
disks. I have checked disk on other (non clustered) servers and the TPS is
always 63.
Why are these partitions set to 32 and how can I change this?
BTW: I used the array diagnostics tool and diskpar.exe to access the disk
geometry.
