SVM Problem Regarding /var

Hi Guys!
I am facing Problem with SVM I mention the problem below:
I have Sunfire V210 machine and the partitions are as follows:
Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks
0 root wm 0 - 6134 29.77GB (6135/0/0) 62429760
1 swap wu 6135 - 8195 10.00GB (2061/0/0) 20972736
2 backup wm 0 - 14086 68.35GB (14087/0/0) 143349312
3 var wm 8196 - 10256 10.00GB (2061/0/0) 20972736
4 unassigned wm 10257 - 11287 5.00GB (1031/0/0) 10491456
5 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
6 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
7 unassigned wm 11288 - 11348 303.09MB (61/0/0) 620736

All the partions are created as a metadevice or mirror except /var have alook at my /etcvfstab file
"/etc/vfstab" 13 lines, 451 characters #devicedevicemountFS fsck mount mount
#to mountto fsckpointtype pass at boot options
#
fd -/dev/fd fd -no -
/proc -/proc proc -no -
/dev/md/dsk/d1 --swap -no -
/dev/md/dsk/d0 /dev/md/rdsk/d0 /ufs 1no -
/dev/md/dsk/d3 /dev/md/rdsk/d3 /var ufs 1no -

/devices-/devicesdevfs -no -
ctfs -/system/contractctfs -no -
objfs -/system/object objfs -no -
swap -/tmp tmpfs -yes -

After that when i reboot my Machine I am on maintenance Mode

The /var file system (/dev/md/rdsk/d3) is being checked.

WARNING - Unable to repair the /var filesystem. Run fsck
manually (fsck -F ufs /dev/md/rdsk/d3).

Confusion and confusion!

You said /var is not a metadevice in your setup. But in your vfstab output, /var is a metadevice (d3). And your problem has arised from /var confusion. Do a cross check on vfstab entry for /var (it might have been erratically updated in vfstab as metadevice, d3, while /var actually being a block device), it could be a cause your prob.
