The way I see it is the following:
1. your storage admin created the LUN on the NetApp array (what type is it?)
2. he should've given you the WWN of that new LUN so that you or any other Solaris admin can map it to the specified host. It's what Duke has asked you to verify.
Have you done that? What volume manager are you using on the host (SVM, VxVM, etc.)? Are there any ports down on the SAN switch that could affect the multipathing (those "multipath status: degraded" messages aren't a good omen)? Are you using MPxIO or VxDMP as multipathing solution (looks like mpxio, but I just wanna be sure)?
Also, check those "statd - RPC" errors too (I don't know if they're related) you seem to have some remote procedure calls that can't go through because of authentication issues...
In the end, I would advise you to take into account a bug that might affect your system: Bug 6614241 - MPxIO never re-enables a previously failed iSCSI path
This is for iSCSI, but it's worth taking a look at what the output is, maybe you've misconfigured your SAN (go to support.oracle.com):
"For the Sun target we see this error frequently
Oct 5 06:25:59 sunx4200-shu02 genunix: [ID 265984 kern.warning] WARNING: Page83 data not standards compliant SUN SOLARIS 1
and for the Netapp target we see this one...
Oct 5 10:58:43 sunx4200-shu02 genunix: [ID 198094 kern.warning] WARNING: Page83 data not standards compliant NETAPP LUN 0.2
This seems to be a case of Solaris checking compliance against an old version of the spec."
