Specify disk (enter its number):
If you cannot access the virtual disks:
Verify the zoning.
For Sun Solaris, verify that the correct WWPNs for the EVA (lpfc, qla2300 driver) have
been configured and the target assignment is matched in /kernel/drv/sd.conf (lpfc
and qla2300 4.13.01).

Labeling and partitioning the devices

Label and partition the new devices using the Sun format utility:
CAUTION:
label/partition commands on disks that have data can cause data loss.
1. Enter the format command at the root prompt to start the utility.
2. Verify that all new devices are displayed. If not, enter quit or press Ctrl+D to exit the format
utility, and then verify that the configuration is correct (see
host" (page
3. Record the character-type device file names (for example, c1t2d0) for all new disks.
You will use this data to create the file systems or to use the file systems with the Solaris or
Veritas Volume Manager.
4. When prompted to specify the disk, enter the number of the device to be labeled.
5. When prompted to label the disk, enter Y.
6. Because the virtual geometry of the presented volume varies with size, select autoconfigure
as the disk type.
When selecting disk devices, be careful to select the correct disk because using the
