Disk Mirroring for Solaris 10 x86

I am having an issue with setting up disk mirroring for Solaris 10 on an x86 server. My main problem is that the volumes and slices have already been setup and our proprietary software has already been installed and configured. The entire drive has been allocated in this configuration and the metadb command seems to fail everytime I try to setup the database replica. I am somewhat new to mirroring disks with Solaris 10.
