You could either mirror and split using SVM, or much more simply create a new boot environment on the new disk using live upgrade ( either by 'lucreate' or using the curses bases 'lu' command) then boot from the new disk.

NAME
lutab - list of boot environments SYNOPSIS
/etc/lutab DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/lutab is a list of the boot environments (BEs) configured on a system. There are two entries for each BE. These entries have the following form: BE_id:BE_name:completion_flag:0 BE_id:root_slice:root_device:1 The fields in the lutab entries are described as follows: BE_id A unique, internally generated id for a BE. BE_name The user-assigned name of a BE. completion_flag Indicates whether the BE is complete (C) or incomplete (NC). A complete BE is one that is not involved in any copy or upgrade operation. A BE can be activated or compared only when it is complete. 0 Indicates first of two lines. BE_id As described above. root_slice Designation of the root slice. root_device Device on which the root slice is mounted. 1 Indicates second of two lines. The lutab file must not be edited by hand. Any user modification to this file will result in the incorrect operation of live upgrade. SEE ALSO
lu(1M), luactivate(1M), lucreate(1M), lucurr(1M), lufslist(1M), lustatus(1M), luupgrade(1M), attributes(5), live_upgrade(5) WARNINGS
The lutab file is not a public interface. The format and contents of lutab are subject to change. Use lufslist(1M) and lustatus(1M) to obtain information about BEs. SunOS 5.10 8 Jun 2001 lutab(4)
