Sysdump and unmirroring

I'm researching on how to unmirror a set of mirrored drives as this should enable me to do a failsafe patch install. My current install has 2 disk with all LVs mirrored except the sysdump LV.

This is the bit that confuses me as some seem to advise removing the sysdump from both drives (Patch management in AIX - IT Community) whilst others advise migrating the sysdump LV to the other disk before splitting the mirror.

Is there any reason to choose one option over the other?
