SAN Configuration in Solaris

I Have IBM ESS 800, trying to configure SAN storage using Fiber card. I installed the SDD driver & can see the disks however, when I did
# datapath query device

I have the disks shown in slices

# ./datapath query device

Total Devices : 8

How can I have this show up as just one LUN in Solaris. I'm pretty new at this ......Is there a configuration that must be put in somewhere ?

Should anything go in the qla2300.conf & sd.conf file. Please help.

Thanks,
Evelyn
