I realize that, once again, I am coming into a thread really late so I may have missed a point or two somewhere. However, I would ask these questions..............

Code:

# cat -v /a/etc/vfstab
###device         device          mount           FS      fsck    mount   mount
#to mount       to fsck         point           type    pass    at boot options
#
fd      -       /dev/fd fd      -       no      -
/proc   -       /proc   proc    -       no      -
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s1       -       -       swap    -       no      -
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0       /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0      /       ufs     1       yes     logging
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s5       /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s5      /opt    ufs     2       yes     logging
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3       /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s3      /usr/local      ufs     2       yes     logging
swap    -       /tmp    tmpfs   -       yes     -

Is there a reason for the /usr filesystem to be mounted on /usr/local rather than /usr?

Code:

Current partition table (original):
Total disk cylinders available: 14087 + 2 (reserved cylinders)

Part      Tag    Flag     Cylinders         Size            Blocks
  0       root    wm    3221 -  5187        9.54GB    (1967/0/0)   20016192
  1       swap    wu       0 -  3220       15.63GB    (3221/0/0)   32776896
  2     backup    wm       0 - 14086       68.35GB    (14087/0/0) 143349312
  3        usr    wm    5188 -  7200        9.77GB    (2013/0/0)   20484288
  4          -    wu   14085 - 14086        9.94MB    (2/0/0)         20352
  5 unassigned    wm    7201 -  9213        9.77GB    (2013/0/0)   20484288
  6 unassigned    wm    5188 -  7200        9.77GB    (2013/0/0)   20484288
  7          -    wu       0 - 14086       68.35GB    (14087/0/0) 143349312

Why is slice 6 duplicating slice 3 (the usr filesystem) and slice 7 is defining the whole disk the same as slice 2?

We all know that mounting the /usr filesystem (if it is indeed configured as a separate filesystem) is critical to the boot process. Failure to mount /usr will usually land you in maintenance mode but in a configuration with Veritas VM I don't know whether that will screw the boot process.

@br1an.......I suggest that you don't react to my comments until other members have responded. These are just my observations. As I say, I'm very late in on this.
