Stripe and Mirror using Disksuite

I setup a 3 disk stripe and mirrored it to another 3 disk stripe in a
multipak.

Right now I have boot drive mirrored to the 2nd. internal drive on this
machine so I have 2 state databases on each of the 2 internal disks as
follows

ctprod# metadb
         flags first blk block count
      a m p luo 16 8192 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4
      a p luo 8208 8192 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4
      a p luo 16 8192 /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s4
      a p luo 8208 8192 /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s4
ctprod#

Do I need to create state database replicas on all 6 drives in the
multipak or are the ones on the internal boot disk all I need?

The procedure I used to create the stripe/mirror on the multipak is as
follows does this look ok?

How easy is it to replace a failed disk in the multipak?

# history
      1 df -kl
      2 metastat
      3 metainit d11 1 3 c1t1d0s2 c1t2d0s2 c1t3d0s2 -i 64k
      4 metastat
      5 metainit d12 1 3 c1t4d0s2 c1t5d0s2 c1t6d0s2 -i 64k
      6 metastat
      7 metainit d14 -m d11
      8 metastat
      9 cd /
     10 mkdir u01
     11 df -kl
     12 mount /dev/md/dsk/d14 /u01
     13 metattach d14 d12
     14 newfs /dev/md/rdsk/d14
