Right. Until you do a zipl during a reboot or shutdown of the system. Takes 2 minutes... And only if you add a new disk to the mirror.

Since there is nothing special on the boot disk, I would take a small mini disk to mount over /boot and prepare that with zipl, en then DDR or so to copy the contents to another spare mini disk. And since you probably run all the Linux virtual machines similar, you could even borrow someone else's boot disk when it has to be.
