Grow VxVM volume on Solaris 2.6

Hi,
 
I'm running an E3000, running Solaris 2.6, connected to a A5000 storage
box.
I have 3 mirrored volumes (VxVM 3.2) that I need to grow. The filesystem
type is ufs.
 I have 6 unused disks that I would like to use to grow the volumes.
I'm was wondering if I can grow these volumes online?
 
My idea is to do the following steps
 
1.vxdisksetup -i <disk> to initialize it
2. add the disks to the volumegroup
3. vxresize -F ufs <volname> <new size> disk1 disk2 (2 disks because of
the mirror)
 
Has anyone already tried growing a ufs filesys with VxVM 3.2 on Solaris
2.6?
If yes, is it possible to give me some feedback (things to keep in mind,
possible problems ...)
Thanks in advance!
 
best regards,
Stefaan.
