First, we need to create the meta database on at least three filesystems. It's best to just create one cylinder slices and use them for the database.
sudo vi /etc/lvm/md.tab
- create an entry for mddb01
sudo metadb -a -f mddb01
sudo metadb     # will display the metadevice databases

Next, create your metadevice
sudo vi /etc/lvm/md.tab
- create and entry for d1, e.g. a RAID device
sudo metainit d1
sudo metastat     # will display the status of the device
- wait for the array to finish initializing
sudo newfs -i 4096 /dev/md/rdsk/d1
sudo fsck -y /dev/md/rdsk/d1
modify /etc/vfstab to include the new filesystem
sudo mount /new/file/system
