Using an SDS raid5 partition

I am configuring a new system with SDS/LVM/Fred/whatever-Sun-is-calling-
their-disk-volume-manager-this-week. I have configured mirrors and stripes
many times, but this is my first RAID volume. I have successfully metainit
d5:

d5 -r /dev/dsk/c2t8d0s5 /dev/dsk/c2t9d0s5 /dev/dsk/c2t10d0s5 \
      /dev/dsk/c2t11d0s5 /dev/dsk/c2t12d0s5

I know that with mirrors of UFS filesystems it is not necessary to newfs
the /dev/md/dsk partition but with stripes it is. Guessing that a RAID
partition is similar, I attempted to newfs /dev/md/dsk/d5. No joy.
What is the magic needed to mount and start using the RAID partition?

Thanks, and I will summarize.
