1. Check cabling and disk jumpers for addressing conflicts.
2. Check disk labels are compatible with VCS
3. Check disk mode pages are not left in inconsistent state from previous use.
So (1) speaks for itself. (2) you could rewrite the disk labels to ensure they are compatible with VCS. They probably need to be Sun labels but check that out. (3) disks are highly programmable devices and the mode pages on them can lock a disk out from inquiry from any device other than the one it thinks it's locked to (as in a cluster failover). As you will know, only one node can read and write to any volume at one time otherwise corruption results. This can leave disks in a locked state so select the option "set all mode pages to default" to clear all settings.
So I would look at 1,2,& 3 first. Remember to do both 2 and/or 3 you need to run format in expert mode. By default, Solaris format doesn't offer such menu options. Add the -e switch:
to run format in expert mode. You're telling Solaris that you're an expert so you'd better be one.
