Mirror solaris

Hi everyone.

I have a Sun Solaris box which is running on only one internal disk and obviously that is not a good thing, if the disk should fail. This is a pritty straight forward operation in AIX, where my experties are. I have never done this in solaris and would therefore appriciate any help on this matter.
Basicly I would like to know how this is done, from the point in time where I insert the disk in the machine and until the mirror is up and in sync. Anyone?

SYNC(8) 						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						   SYNC(8)

NAME
sync -- force completion of pending disk writes (flush cache) SYNOPSIS
sync DESCRIPTION
The sync utility can be called to ensure that all disk writes have been completed before the processor is halted in a way not suitably done by reboot(8) or halt(8). Generally, it is preferable to use reboot(8) or halt(8) to shut down the system, as they may perform additional actions such as resynchronizing the hardware clock and flushing internal caches before performing a final sync. The sync utility utilizes the sync(2) function call. SEE ALSO
fsync(2), sync(2), syncer(4), halt(8), reboot(8) HISTORY
A sync utility appeared in Version 4 AT&T UNIX. BSD
