Many thanks to all those who replied.
The consensus is that the messages are benign and normal, a result of 
the system only
using mirrors and not being configured for metatrans, raid5, hotspares, 
and soft partitions.
They come from lines in the /etc/system file.  It is not recommended to 
edit those lines, although it might be ok provided your system never 
needs metatrans, raid5, hotspares, and soft partitions.  If you do 
comment them out, use "*" rather than "#" for
the system file.  And if SVM ever needs them, be sure to uncomment them 
and reboot
first.  
Regards,
James Young
