using Solaris Volume Manager to create a mirrored RAID 5 device?

Hi --


I'm wondering if it is possible to set up a mirrored RAID 5 set using
Solaris Volume Manager (SVM).

My thought it to create two seperate RAID 5 metadevices such as:


metainit d80 -r c1t9d0s0 c1t10d0s0 c1t13d0s0
metainit d90 -r c2t2d0s0 c2t3d0s0 c2t5d0s0


Is it possible to mirror those two RAID 5 devices?


if one simply tries:

metainit d101 1 1 d80


SVM responds:

d80: is a metadevice


I'm guessing at this point that it can't be done using SVM.



Thanks for any imput/thoughts one may have.
