[HPADM] Re-configuring Mirrors

Hello Admins,

I have some work to do on one of my boxes to re-configure the way the disks
are being mirrored and would like to gets some opinions on the best way to
handle this. Currently this box has two internal disks and two external
disks. The two internals are mirrored to each other and the two externals
are mirrored to each other. I did not set these boxes up and would like to
change it so that I have the two internal disks mirrored to the two
externals. Currently the internals are the boot disk and it's mirror and
they have VG00 lvols1-11 on them. The external disk has only one lvol, it is
VG00 lvol12 (secondary swap). My plan is to perform the following steps:

   a. remove all mirrors on all lvols.
   b. Then remove lvol12 from VG00 (this is the only lvol on the external
disks.)
   c. remove the three physical volumes from VG00.
   d. re-create the physical volumes and vgextend VG00.
   e. re-create lvol12 on the internal disk
   f. now re-create the mirrors with the new associations from two internal
disks to the two externals.

My question is whether or not I am correct on the above actions? If there is
something missing or an easier way to handle this, please let me know.

Thanks in advance, I greatly appreciate your input!
