You might want to look a little closer at your drives - try the prtvtoc command and post the output for /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2, /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2, /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s2, /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2, /dev/dsk/c2t9d0s2, and /dev/dsk/c2t8d0s2. This will let you see what may be available to allow you to put the metastate DB on.
Example:
# prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s2
* /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s2 partition map

* Dimensions:
* 512 bytes/sector
* 107 sectors/track
