Using alt_disk_install to perform a migration install on a mirrored disk

    Have a 5.1 system I'd like to migrate to 5.2. The rootvg is
    mirrored between two internal disks. Is there an approved
    method for breaking the mirror, applying the migration install to the
    second disk, and booting to it? Any problems, simply boot back
    to initial disk and turn back on mirroring?

    Any redpapers for this procedure? TIA for any assistance.
