I can’t speak to alt_disk_copy.. but we used alt_disk_install without issue.
I believe they call the same basic functions on the backend, so you should be safe..
of course, always test your process… take an outage and boot from your alternate… then boot back if you want.
but always test.. even tools that work can be passed a bad parameter by a typo or ignorance and now you don’t have what you want.
