SUMMARY: disksuite question

Thank you everyone that replied.

Here is the answer to my question:

They need to be on their own unmounted partition.  They are treated like 
a raw partition.  The databases need to be on their own slices so that 
the disksuite drivers handle the device.

Here is my original question:

Do the state database replicas that get created in Solstice Disksuite
with the metadb command need to be on their own slices
or can they be for instance on an existing slice like /var/ or /export/home?

I have them on their own slice 7 now  that is 20mb in size but would
like to delete them from there and make slice 7 bigger to create another
file system on it for this Solaris 9 machine and create the state
database replica's on an existing slice as mentioned. I have room at the
end of the disk to do this but will need to move the existing state
database replica.
