Hi friends,
I'm newbie to SVM.
Just wanna try installed it on one of our server (to do mirroring for disk0 and disk1) but i think im lost until now. 
the steps i've taken is as below:-
1.prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s2 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s2
2.metadb -a -c 3 -f c1t0d0s7 c1t1d0s7
3.for 'd0'
-metainit -f d10 1 1 c1t0d0s0
-metainit -f d11 1 1 c1t1d0s0
-metainit d0 -m d10
4.metaroot d0
5.for 'd1'
-metainit -f d20 1 1 c1t0d0s1
-metainit -f d21 1 1 c1t1d0s1
-metainit d1 -m d20
6.for 'd3'
-metainit -f d30 1 1 c1t0d0s3
-metainit d31 1 1 c1t1d0s3
-metainit d3 -m d30
7.for 'd4'
-metainit -f d40 1 1 c1t0d0s4
-metainit d41 1 1 c1t1d0s4
-metainit d4 -m d40
8.vi /etc/vfstab
#device device mount FS fsck mount mount
#to mount to fsck point type pass at boot options

9.reboot
- metastat --> this is where the problem comes,
seems the metastat output keep on 'looping' even after the resync period complete.
problems is it keep on looping on d3 and not even show the d4.
