Solaris 6 and Disk Suite 4.2

Hi all,
  I have an Ultra Enterprise 2 running Solaris 6 and Disk Suite 4.2. It
has 2 internal disks of 2.1 GB. I created 4 database replicas on each
hard disk, mirrored root and swap and created aliases to boot from
either disks and also made mirror bootable.

  The problem is, if one disk is in error, booting from the other disk
fails at some stage with the following error:

"Insufficient metadevice database replicas located.

Use metadb to delete databases which are broken.
Ignore any "Read-only file system" error messages.
Reboot the system when finished to reload the metadevice database.
After reboot, repair any broken database replicas which were deleted.

Type Ctrl-d to proceed with normal startup,
(or give root password for system maintenance):"

I have 4 database replicas on each disk, so it should be good enough to
boot, but I still seem to get this problem. Does anyone know of any work
arounds to overcome this insufficient database replicas problem in Disk
Suite 4.2? I know of the way in Disk Suite 4.2.1 but it does'nt work in
4.2.

thanks,
Aravind
