Largest LUN size in Solaris 10
What is the largest possible LUN size that can be presented to Solaris 10. I've been googling a lot about this. The new EFI lablels (an alternative to VTOC) supports LUNs greater than 2TB. I need to know the upper limit. please help me find it.

The EFI label provides support for physical disks and virtual disk volumes. The UFS file system is compatible with the EFI disk label, and you can create a UFS file system that is greater than 1 Tbyte.

The SCSI driver, ssd, currently supports disks only up to 2 Tbytes. If you need greater disk capacity than 2 Tbytes, use a disk and storage management product such as Solaris Volume Manager / ZFS / Veritas volume manager to create a larger device

solaris 10 supports up to 16 TB ufs filesystems, there is no need for a volumemanger! with zfs the size is MUCH bigger than that... for large ufs filesystems use "newfs -t /device".
