Solaris 10 Sparc. How to change Vendor info of SAN disks reported in "format" command?

Greetings!

After block level migration using an external appliance, the luns are getting reported as DGC-RAID5 and these luns are infact from the new storage. I have a query on changing the device Vendor info from DGC-RAID5 to HP3par in the format o/p only.
Code:
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
       2. c0t60002AC0000000000000000B0000xxxxd0 <DGC-RAID5-0430 cyl 51198 alt 2 hd 256 sec 16>
          /scsi_vhci/ssd@g60002ac0000000000000000b0000xxxx

I am able to see the mpathadm and luxadm correctly reporting the device Vendor id as shown below.
Code:
luxadm display 20210002ac00xxxx DEVICE PROPERTIES for disk: 20210002ac00xxxx
  Vendor:               3PARdata
  Product ID:           VV
  Revision:             3213
  Serial Num:            16xxxxx
  Unformatted capacity: 103424.000 MBytes
  Read Cache:           Enabled
    Minimum prefetch:   0x0
    Maximum prefetch:   0xffff
  Device Type:          Disk device
  Path(s):

  /dev/rdsk/c0t60002AC0000000000000000B0000xxxxd0s2

Multipath definitions are configured ok and is reporting the actual paths.

However, format command reports them as DGC-RAID5 and adds a bit of confusion. Is there a way we can get the "format" command to get it reported correctly?

Thanks in advance!

In the format program, does the inquiry command display the vendor?
--
In format's partition menu, give name command, and label command.
This writes back the current disk label with the unchanged partition information but with the new name.

Hi!

I have checked the vendor details and it is reporting correctly as the new storage. I tried naming it, however, it is adding the name to the end what is getting displayed. I believe it is a cosmetic issue and may have to live with it unless there is an option to change it.

Thanks for the help!
