    Yes it's an online operation.

    You just have to add your SAN disk to your rootvg, and execute the following commands:

    extendvg rootvg hdiskX
    mirrorvg rootvg 2 hdiskX

    bosboot -ad hdiskX
    bootlist -m normal hdisk0 hdiskX

    If the rootvg disk from SAN is under the control of powerpath, you need to run "pprootdev fix" and reboot.
