    Joe,

    Not a problem at all. The LVM mirrors at the logical volume level, not the
    disk level. Just add the 18 GB disk to rootvg and be sure to specify it
    when you run your mklvcopy command. I've mirrored two 9 GB disks to one 18
    GB disks in the past and it works very well.

    Note that you can still utilize the remaining 9 GB on the second disk, but
    the data will be unprotected.
