    Many thanks to all those who replied.
    The consensus is that the messages are benign and normal, a result of
    the system only
    using mirrors and not being configured for metatrans, raid5, hotspares,
    and soft partitions.
    They come from lines in the /etc/system file. It is not recommended to
    edit those lines, although it might be ok provided your system never
    needs metatrans, raid5, hotspares, and soft partitions. If you do
    comment them out, use "*" rather than "#" for
    the system file. And if SVM ever needs them, be sure to uncomment them
    and reboot
    first.
    Regards,
