I have never used Solaris 11 and probably never will. But I have used Solaris 10. we would always mirror our disks. I needed two disks with the same layout. I would use the interactive format command on the first and then do:
The prtvtoc command just displays the disk geometry and the fmthard command reads this for it's input. I had a bunch of disks to layout and it occurred to me to simply save the output from prtvtoc and hard code it into a script.
Maybe you can adapt some of this for your purposes.
