Ah, well, I understand. I've been helping you with the cloning.
In Solaris, if you want to create mirrored drives you would normally use two disks of the same geometry; ie, same model of disk.
If that's what you are trying to do then you would use a combination of the prtvtoc and fmthard commands to write the exact vtoc from the first disk to the second disk.
For example:
Or you could write the vtoc to a file first and then use it as input to fmthard:
(the S2 slice represents the whole drive)
This replicates the vtoc contents to the new disk for mirroring.
See the man pages for prtvtoc and fmthard:

Thanks,
