Secondary swap and LSM

Hi All
I have a few questions about using secondary swap space and LSM.

On one of the systems I look after we have a 8 GB swap partition under LSM. The
secondary swap has been placed in its own disk group. The LSM docs say that
secondary swap should be place in the rootdg disk group. The OS we are using is
4.0B, and the hardware is a 8400.

My questions are;
1) What are the reasons for having the secondary swap in the rootdg group?

2) What is best way of going about moving the secondary swap to the rootdg?

3) At the moment the secondary swap consists of 2 * 8 GB mirrored plexes. Each
plex has four disks which are striped. Is this the best way of providing
secondary swap or is some other strategy more suitable?
