Power Solaris disk replication problem

Hey Guys I have a problem. I am trying to do mirror on my SunBlade 1000 but unfortunately I cant find the same disks anymore. So i bought a fujitsu of the same seze. The problem is I cant do prtvtoc on the 2nd drive. It complains that the blocks are not aligned. I am aware that the no of cyl and hd dont match but is there a way to change that in solaris ? I know in linux fdisk there is an option in expert mode but what about solaris? These are the disks.

0. c0t1d0 <SUN72G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 424>
/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4/fp@0,0/ssd@w500000e01043bce1,0
1. c0t2d0 <FUJITSU-MAW3073FC-0102 cyl 65533 alt 2 hd 2 sec 1095>
/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4/fp@0,0/ssd@w500000e011ae2761,0

Please help Smilie

Hmm, I don't know why you can't find that drive. Our company is getting loads of them from SUN in new T-2000 and new V245 servers in the last month.

OK here is what i have done. I dont know if thats the right thing to do but. I went to the ´format>type´ and changed the type of the disk to SUN72G. I have done some research and found that all type does is tell the drive what geometry it should use. This was used in the old days when disks didnt come with its own firmware. I changed the drive config that way and mirrored the drives and it worked!

I dont know if it is stable. I have restarted a bunch of time but didnt see any problem. But if any of you guys have any insight, please let me know. I am sort of depending on your suggestion!
