Don't worry about the above, it's just telling you that it's not been run before and it's creating a cache of available devices to speed it up next time round.

8000000b00000000 302 /dev/vio0
8000000c00000000 259 /dev/clone
That's weird...
The 'normal' output from lsof when run like that is this:
Code:
# lsof /usr/lib/libc.so.1
COMMAND     PID  USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF   NODE NAME
java         63 henry  txt   VREG 85,110  1157932 253163 /usr/lib/libc.so.1
sh         7595  root  txt   VREG 85,110  1157932 253163 /usr/lib/libc.so.1
sh         7596  root  txt   VREG 85,110  1157932 253163 /usr/lib/libc.so.1
sshd      14890  root  txt   VREG 85,110  1157932 253163 /usr/lib/libc.so.1
