Thanks to all for their help and suggetions especially Michael Maciolek,
thomas Payerle and Darren Dunham.
Solution: As Thomas pointed out the error message explains what to do. I
also found the link after googling
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/802-4215/6i82c9l08?a=view
which explains the problem and solution. I had to delete all the metadb
which were in unknown state. Once i deleted the same i was able to boot
normally. Howerver i still need to find out how do i recover data from
the failed metadevice as none of the disks shows failed now.
Thanks to all
