Accessing a StorageTek 2530 Disk array from SUN, SPARC Enterprise T2000

Hello,
Wondering if anyone can help me with mounting a file share from my Sun T2000 server running Solaris 10 to my connected 2530 disk array?
I believe I've connected the disk array correctly and I have created a volume on the array using the filesystem (Sun_SAM-FS, RAID-5).
The T2000 server appears to see the disk array but not able to write a disk label or mount a filesystem on it as the following commands show:-
root@sesame # format
Searching for disks...done

c4t0d0: configured with capacity of 1395.79GB


AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c0t0d0 <SUN72G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 424>
/pci@780/pci@0/pci@9/scsi@0/sd@0,0
1. c0t1d0 <SUN72G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 424>
/pci@780/pci@0/pci@9/scsi@0/sd@1,0
2. c4t0d0 <SUN-LCSM100_S-0735-1.36TB>
/pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@9/LSILogic,sas@0/sd@0,0
Specify disk (enter its number): 2

8 reserved wm 2927157214 8.00MB 2927173597

partition>
root@sesame # mount /dev/dsk/c4t0d0s6 /array01
mount: I/O error
mount: Cannot mount /dev/dsk/c4t0d0s6
root@sesame #

To be honest I've never attached an array to a Unix server before so any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks, DD Smilie
