Thanks very much for the feed back on this thread, the final decision was to go with the ASM raw devices - however there were a couple of things that I discovered that might be worth sharing.
The first point worth noting is that when you create the ASM disks in format, make sure that cylinder zero is not available in the slice as ASM can over write the label - which the OS seems to protest about. So the disks were formatted as follows;
A second point worth noting is that the disk should be commented in format to ensure that somebody doesn't grab it and re-format it.
Thirdly, it's worth giving the disks meaningful names when setting up the services as follows;
Other things that I noticed were that OVM 3.5 is a long way from LDOMS for Solaris 1.0.1.
I eventually managed to get the local repo set up, not without incident and have the local LDOM's pointing at it.
I'm running solaris, with solstice disksuite.
With other systems, i run veritas volume manager.
