The above error message could be relevant...

Are there lots of extended partitions on this disk?

A quick google search revealed this:

http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/caiman/slim_source/usr/src/lib/liborchestrator/target_discovery.c#758

    758                 /*
    759                  * If the partition name is not ending with pX
    760                  * ignore this partition
    761                  */
    762                 ptr = str + strlen(str) - 2;
    763                 if (*ptr == 'p') {
    764                         ptr++;
    765                 } else {
    766                         bad++;
    767                         om_debug_print(OM_DBGLVL_WARN, BAD_DISK_SLICE, 
str);
    768                         om_log_print(BAD_DISK_SLICE, str);
    769                         continue;
    770                 }


That piece of code would have a problem with fdisk
extended partitions beyond ...p9
(e.g. pX slices, where X has more than one digit)

The exact contents of the existing fdisk partition
information on that disk is needed.
