if you have any sense, you will also mirror swap and /var. Most decent SAs would also put the user home accounts on a separate slice.

you should copy the disk label from one disk to the other and then mirror the partitions.

Also, assuming that your are using SVM (ex SDS, ex-ex-ODS), you should ensure that you have a enough state databases.

The command metadb should show you where they are. You should have then in at least two locations and convention when I worked at Sun, was to put three copies in each location.
