Solaris 9 Question for AIX Admins

Hello;

I apologize for posing this question to his forum, however, I think you all are probably my best resort for assistance.

I am new to Solaris and don't go to training for two weeks. I am attempting to do some learning on my own with a test server (v880) ....however, I can't figure out how to see the following on Solaris 5.9 (No Veritas Volume Manager):

Physical Disk ---> (Slice?/)Logcal Volume ---> Filesystem layout

I know that on AIX I would do something along the lines of the following:
lspv ---> lsvg ---> lslv

to retrieve the entire psysical-to-logical layout.

On Solaris however, the metastat and prtvtoc commands only seem to list the disk/logical volume(slice?) information....and "format--->partiton--->print" does show the disk information, however it doesn't show the logical volume/filesystem layout. --- 'df -h' does show the filesystem to logical volume layout but I don't have any idea what disk/slice these filesystems reside on?

The only thing I want to be able to do is create a couple filesystems on the internal SCSI disk WITHOUT erasing any data that's already out there. Seems pretty simple to me....but it's not working out that way.

I hope I've conveyed my question/problem clearly enough. However, incase I have not I've enclosed an example of what I'm talking about below this message.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Theresa
