    I messed up the question pretty good in that I wasn't questing the labeling,
    but rather the device files. I wasn't clear on that, and I apologize.
    Fortunately, several people picked up on that, and still answered my
    question :-)

    Bottom line was that the device files were normal. This is expected from
    SAN attached storage. Also, the fact that I only have 4 disks showing (I
    configured the 4 disks across both channels - dual linked), was because of
    mpxio being configured. So, each disk listed is actually a pseudo device
    which points to both physical disks.

    Thanks to everyone who answered - there were way too many to mention.

                    This is probably a stupid question, but here goes.

                    I'm adding disks to a solaris system for the first time
    (solaris 9). These are fibre attached disks from my SAN. After doing a
    reconfiguration boot, it complained that the disks were corrupt, so I did a
    format label.

                    I see these disks as follows:

                    AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
                           0. c1t0d0 <SUN72G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 424>
            
    /pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/ssd@w2100000c50325a68,0
                           1. c1t1d0 <SUN72G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 424>
            
    /pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/ssd@w2100000c5032625e,0
                           2. c3t500060E80276C314d0 <HP-OPEN-9*2-SUN-0119 cyl
    20030 alt 2 hd 15 sec>
            
    /pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@1,1/fp@0,0/ssd@w500060e80276c314,0
                           3. c3t500060E80276C314d1 <HP-OPEN-9*2-SUN-0119 cyl
    20030 alt 2 hd 15 sec>
            
    /pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@1,1/fp@0,0/ssd@w500060e80276c314,1
                           4. c3t500060E80276C314d2 <HP-OPEN-9*2-SUN-0119 cyl
    20030 alt 2 hd 15 sec>
            
    /pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@1,1/fp@0,0/ssd@w500060e80276c314,2
                           5. c3t500060E80276C314d3 <HP-OPEN-9*2-SUN-0119 cyl
    20030 alt 2 hd 15 sec>
            
    /pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@1,1/fp@0,0/ssd@w500060e80276c314,3

                    Disks in question are 2-5. Does this seem right?
