You should clear you system from the devices that are not used anymore.

First remove from SVM and configuration file references :
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/...513/index.html

The storage admin can now unpresent the lun(s)

After that you can issue a cfgadm -al to rescan and update its database, followed by a devfsadm -Cv to remove all unused devices references from system.

Hope that helps

Peasant.
