Also with Sol10U5, when a VxVM volume is exported as a single slice, the corresponding virtual disk is not accessible inside the guest. This is being fixed in SUN bug id 6558966. Alex can correct me if I have the id wrong. This bug id is slated to be fixed in the patch on Sol10U5, again Alex correct me if this has changed.
