Install ODS(4.2.X)) package.

Create State database and replicas with 4 disks.

Example:

# metadb -a -f c0t1d0s3 c1t1d0s3 c2t1d0s3 c3t1d0s3
# metadb
Note: Assign 1.5mb to 3.0mb space to these slices using 'format' utility.

Create a striped metadevice of four slices with a 32 Kbyte Interlace.
#metainit d10 1 4 c0t1d0s1 c1t1d0s1 c2t1d0s1 c3t1d0s1 -i 32k
You will get,
d10: Concat/Stripe is setup.


#newfs /dev/md/rdsk/d10
#fsck /dev/md/dsk/d10
Mount this file system by editing /etc/vfstab.

Example:

/dev/md/dsk/d10 /dev/md/rdsk/d10 /home ufs 2 yes -

#mount /home

You will see 4 slices size in a single volume.

I hope this helps you,
