disk suite to mirror both d0 and d2

I have 2 drives on a sun solaris 8 server that is a live server. I am putting in an additional 2 drives and want to mirror the the first 2. I was thinking of using disksuite but one drive is the root drive with 1 maybe 2 free paritions. The other is only one partition (36G). I was wondering how I could use disk suite to mirror them. I have never used it so I don't want to take chances. My only experience with mirroring is raidctl, but my controller only allows one mirror.

1) Is there an easier way? This will be a remote server so I need something that has automatic failover.

2) If I use raidctl for the drive without free partitions, does that automatically failover if the master fails?

Thanks
