SVM question

I am trying to set up a new server. It has 8 HD's in it. I am using 2 for the system disk. IE set one up mirror to the other. I am using the other 6 as data disks. For those I want to concat 3 together, mirror to the other 3 (also concated together of course) and then make various soft partitions on them.

I know I need to run the install disk and set up the system disk (lets call it t0 from now on). Then I will have to run format to partition the other HD I want to miror it to (disk t1). I was thinking run format on the t0 and "save" it to a file then use format -x to format t1 so they will be the same. than I have found this guide to mirror the root HD:Guide to mirroring root / boot disks with solaris volume manager (disksuite) on <b style="color:black;background-color:#ffff66">solaris</b> 10

FOr the data disks I am kind of at a loss: I am thinking format them with all space on slice 1 and a small slice 7 for SVM's DB's. But I am not familiar enough with the meta commands to know how to concat the 3 HD's together, mirror them, or make soft partitions on them.

Can anyone help me with this part?
