There's no problem with exporting an entire disk and creating filesystems from a guest domain. The only constraint is that you need to have enough disks or LUNs because a disk/LUN can only be exported to one guest domain.
If you are using EMC PowerPath be aware of bug 6694540 (disks are not correctly exported with EMC powerpath). This bug will be fixed in S10U6. In the meantime, a fix is to install patch 138042-01 and to create a file /platform/sun4v/kernel/drv/vds.conf containing: driver-type-list="emcp:disk"; This needs to be done on the service domain, before binding and starting your guest domains. alex.
