If your VM was using raw device mappings you would probably have similar success. When adding FC LUN to my Solaris machines:

When mounting I reference the mount point not the device, so I'm not sure where I threw you off?

Using 'rdsk' in a mount command will give you the 'mount: /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 not a block device' error. # mount /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 /mnt/a mount: /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 not a block device # mount -F ufs /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 /mnt/a # cd /mnt/a # df -h .

Using ‘rdsk’ in a mount command will give you the ‘mount: /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 not a block device’ error.

# mount /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 /mnt/a
mount: /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 not a block device

# mount -F ufs /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 /mnt/a
# cd /mnt/a
# df -h .
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 67G 64M 67G 1% /mnt/a

Good stuff though.

I'm not really sure that it is necessary, but before you quit format, just type label. format> label Ready to label disk, continue? y format> quit I may have left out writing the label to the drive from the format prompt before quitting.
