disksuite with no free partitions

I have a live server and I want to mirror the root drive (c1t0d0) to drive 2 (c1t2d0). I have maybe one free slice. I've read that I can take from swap to use for the replicas?

1) How is that done?

2) If I have no free partitions, how can I use swap for both replicas?

3) Can this be done while the system is live and running?

Thank you
