moving metavolumes to larger drives

Has anyone migrated filesystems from one disk to another (higher capacity)
using Solaris volume manager?

I have the following setup:

Solaris 9
A 69GB disk which has been partitioned into one large partition and put
under Solaris Volume Manager (d101)

A one-way mirror has been created from d101 (metainit d100 -m d101).

Soft partitions have been created on d100

I would like to migrate this to a pair of 146GB disks.

I think I can do the following:

- insert new 146GB disk into server (c0t3d0)
- create device files (devfsadm -c disk)
- format disk for one large partition
- metainit the disk to be d102
- metattach d100 d102
- allow sync
- metadetach d100 d101 (d101 is c0t2d0 a 69GB disk)
- metaclear d101
- Pull the disk that was d101 (c0t2d0) from the server
- Cleanup old device drives (devfsadm -C -c disk) to remove the old
c0t2d0 device drivers
- Put a new 146GB disk into server at c0t2d0
- Create devices (devfsadm -c disk)
- Format disk for one large partition
- Metainit disk to be d101
- Attach d101 as a submirror for d100
