SAN boot solaris 10
I have a solaris 10 box which does not have internal disks it has just a single dual port HBA card. Storage team has assigned 2 LUNs to the system and i can see it from the probe-scsi-all

Code:
/pci@3,700000/SUNW,emlxs@0,1
Device  PortID 10100  WWPN 5006016941e0a08d
   LUN  0     Disk     DGC     LUNZ            0326
Device  PortID 10d00  WWPN 5006016141e0a08d
   LUN  0     Disk     DGC     LUNZ            0326

/pci@3,700000/SUNW,emlxs@0
Device  PortID 20100  WWPN 5006016841e0a08d
   LUN  0     Disk     DGC     LUNZ            0326
Device  PortID 20d00  WWPN 5006016041e0a08d
   LUN  0     Disk     DGC     LUNZ            0326

But when i boot the box in single user mode and try to label the disks it says disks offline and drive type unknown

And when i told this to my storage guy he said that everything is fine from his side ... can anybody tell me what could be the issue in this as i 'm stuck with this and do not have any idea how to go about this.
