Solaris Volume Manager - Unable to write to root disk with RAID1

I setup my mirror, sub-mirror, and meta database to enable SVM to use raid1. When I change my vfstab to the meta locations I am able to boot, but are unable to write on the disk. Does anyone know why this might be happening that may cause my root disk to act like this? Thanks in advance!

Generally you set up the meta device with only one child initially so its not mirrored.Then change to mount the meta device then add the mirror device.You can't mirror while mounting one disk since writes arent going to both disks and the mirrror isnt consistent..

Did you run metaroot for the root disk? It updates vfstab and makes necessary entries in /etc/system. e.g.metaroot /dev/md/dsk/d0Where metaroot is the mirror (not sub-mirror). Then reboot.
