Mounting a USB device with a predetermined name

When I attach a USB storage device to my Solaris server, the mount point is coming up as /rmdisk/unnamed_rmdisk

Is there anyway I can have this device come up as a mounted device with a predetermined mount name eg /morespace rather than unnamed_rmdisk ?

A device descriptor contains the following fields: uint8_t bLength Size of this descriptor. uint8_t bDescriptorType Set to USB_DESCR_TYPE_DEV_QLF. uint16_t bcdUSB USB specification release number in binary coded decimal. uint8_t bDeviceClass Device class code.
