Replacing disks in DiskSuite

I need your help!!!

We have a Sun 480R with two 36GB internal disks and we need to replace them
with two 72GB disks. Apart from swap there are only two partitions on the
disk, / and /var.

The way I plan on doing this is...

Make sure the backups were successful
Break the mirror
Take the mirror disk offline
Remove and replace the mirror disk
Bring the disk online in Solaris
Sync the mirror disk with the original
Reboot from the mirror disk (after I've changed the boot device)

Then repeat the process for the main disk.

Now then, if I was doing this with Veritas this would be a piece of cake.
But its a DiskSuite system which I have inherited and the amount I know
about DS could be written on a postage stamp!!

So what I need help with is the DS commands, and as a sanity check, is this
the right approach.

Many, many thanks in advance,

Anthony
