create a third mirror. Create it and then delete the other thus you are not exposed

Oh, I guess it's just my paranoid mind at work again, but DELETE DBVOL scares me. I'm using it to migrate the TSM Database from old disks to new, faster disks. So, I attached the new dbvol and its mirror, fiddled with EXTEND DB and REDUCE DB to make it right, and did DELETE DBVOL on the old mirror. Then I did DELETE DBVOL on the old primary copy. Oops! Now I'm really exposed! There is only one copy of the old database volume, while this rather lengthly copying process proceeds. Is there any way to do a DELETE DBVOL in a mirrored way - that is delete all mirrored copies of a DBVOL at once, so that if a disk crashes in the middle of it, I will not lose my Database? That's the whole point of Database mirroring, isn't it? I'm starting to think AIX JFS mirroring might have some advantages over TSM Database/Log mirroring.
