Disksuite questions

Is this correct if I have to create 2 partions of 100 Gigs each? (spread accross (6) 36 Gig drives)

AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c0t0d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107>
/pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@0,0
1. c0t1d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107>
/pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@1,0
2. c1t1d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107>
/pci@1f,4000/scsi@3,1/sd@1,0
3. c1t2d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107>

4. c1t3d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107>

5. c1t4d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107>

6. c1t5d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107>

7. c1t6d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107>
/pci@1f,4000/scsi@3,1/sd@6,0


1) Format each disk and create 2 - 17 G partitions on each drive(slice 4 and slice 5 for each disk)

2) create initial state database replicas (1 on each disk)

e.g. metadb -a -f c1t1d0 c1t2d0 c1t3d0 c1t4d0 c1t5d0 c1t6d0

3) use disksuite to join slices together making a logical partion of 100gig each?

Current partion of disks 2-7:
Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks
0 root wm 0 - 90 128.37MB (91/0/0) 262899
1 swap wu 91 - 181 128.37MB (91/0/0) 262899
2 backup wu 0 - 24619 33.92GB (24620/0/0) 71127180
3 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
4 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
5 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
6 usr wm 182 - 24619 33.67GB (24438/0/0) 70601382
7 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0


Will I have to format these and reserve a small slice for database replica ? (This is the way they were purchased.)

I have read the documentation but I am confused as to the state of disk before creationg DB replicas? Should the whole disk(each slice) be unassigned?

Sol 8 installed on disk 0. Having trouble understanding how I should start and how disksuite will handle partions.

please help...

Operational diagnostics amr%d: I/O beyond end of unit (%u,%d > %u) A partitioning error or disk corruption has caused an I/O request beyond the end of the logical drive.

The initialisation process may fail as a result. amr%d: bad slot %d completed The controller reported completion of a command that the driver did not issue.
