Very old thread, but came across same error code on a Sun 10 box. May have nothign to do with the poster's issue- but may offer some insight.
Got the following error when trying to initilize 1TB LUNs:
# /etc/vx/bin/vxdisksetup -i c2t50060E8007DC5771d26
VxVM vxdisksetup ERROR V-5-2-2480 Disk is too small for supplied parameters
LUN basically had a format (previosuly used) that needed to be wiped/re-qritten with EFI format using 'format -e' (expoert mode). Full detailes below...

Response By Email:
Hi,
Kindly run
#vxdctl enable
then try to run
vxdisk list c2t50060E8007DC5771d27
this error no falg shouln't be there
errno: Device path not valid
If errno flag is vanished then try to initialise disk with vxdisksetup -i
In case if it is still there then you need to foramt your disk with EFI format
you are running with solaris 10 then disk should be formated with EFI level(format -e) as disk is greater than 1 TB
For any further query kindly let me know
regards,
Devendra

regarding Format -e option issue yes it seems you already have data in that disk with partition 6 so without converting it into EFI level we can try to erase that partition and try to initialize the disk.
