You are (or SVM is) probably reusing old data stored at the beginning of the volume, and here this happens to be a valid disk label for a 100MB disk. So try to remove that disk label:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c0d2s2 count=1 Or same command from the control domain with of=your SVM volume alex.
