metastat and metadb is in come under RAID levels.
Defferent Raid levels are there.
Raid 0 concantetion&stripping
Raid 1 mirroring
Raid 0+1 con+mirroring
Raid 1+0 mirroring+concan
Raid 5 stripping vth parity

Once if you want creat raid levels you should configure state database.
State database is notting but "it contain's the hole raid configuration and informarion" itz called statdatabase.
we can create with metadb cmd.
#metadb -a -f silce

to create raid 0

#metainit d0 2 1 <c0t0d0s4> 1 <c0t1d0s3> concantation
#metainit d0 1 2 <c0t0d0s4> <c0t1d0s3> stripping

above both are raid 0 configuration.here c0t0d0s4 itz a ur required slice or drive or disk.

Raid 5 configuration

#metainit -r5 c0t0d3s3 c0t0d2s3 c0t0d1s3
here r is raid 5
