Disk Mirroring

I am having a hard time figuring out how to mirror one hardrive to another.
We have a two hardrive machine and what we want is to install oracle onto
one of the hardrives and mirror it to the other incase of a failure. I want
through the original installation of Solaris 9 for a new Sunfire 240 server.
Below is the configuration that was automatically installed. One thing I
cannot figure out is the backup partition which is on each of the disks. It
doesn't seem to show up in the df -k. Any help with this would be
appreciated.

 

(df -k)
