unable to read vtoc on boot disk

Solaris 2.6, Ultra Enterprise 3000

I am unable to read the vtoc on a failing boot disk (c1t0d0). The
entire contents of that boot disk are mirrored (via Solstice Disksuite)
to a second disk (c1t2d0) of the same disk geometry. My question is
when I replace the boot disk, assuming the replacement disk will also be
of the same disk geomety, can I copy the vtoc of the mirrored disk to
the replacement boot disk?

I plan to replace the disk and copy the vtoc to the replacement as
follows:
( fmthard -s /var/adm/c1t2d0s2.vtoc /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s2)

I ask this question because I noticed the vtoc of the mirrored disk
does not show mount points and I was wondering is there any other info I
might be missing since I am not copying over the actual vtoc of the
original boot disk? Or is disk geometry all I need to be concerned
with?
Thanks in advance for your help.

The vtoc of the mirrored disk follows (c11t2d0):

* /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0s2 partition map
*
* Dimensions:
* 512 bytes/sector
* 135 sectors/track
* 16 tracks/cylinder
* 2160 sectors/cylinder
* 3882 cylinders
* 3880 accessible cylinders
*
* Flags:
* 1: unmountable
* 10: read-only
*
* First Sector Last
* Partition Tag Flags Sector Count Sector Mount Directory
