in raid 5, the data is shared across all disks. This means in order to convert back to a concatenated volume you need to create a new vol, or in this case a new ufs filesystem, and copy your raid 5 volume data to that new vol and then you can blow away the raid five vol. To remve the raid 5 volume and all of its data, just umount the fs that exists on the vol, trhen use metaclear and clean up the /etc/vfstab file.

Umount it first and then remove config file

metadb -d /dev/dsk/cxtxdxsx ( db file )

metaclear -f d8
