Hi,
Not being familiar with Solaris 10 yet, here is what I would do under Solaris9:
- Check whether the system sees the disks you need:
# vxdisk list
If not adjust your sd.conf and run update_drv -f sd. Then you have to go into format so the you can label the disks. Next do the vxdisksetup -i format=cdsdisk
- Check whether diskgroups are imported before shutting down:
# vxdg list
If not import them with:
# vxdg import
Then your system should see your disks+diskgroups after a reboot. I don't know about the bug in 4.1 of not seeing the diskgroups, but see if update Volume Manager to 4.1MP1 helps.
- Check whether you have the right software/ driver for your SAN box
