I had in the last weeks a similar problem. I have on my testbed server
(Solaris 10.x Update4) PowerPath 5.2 that it's connected on two FC
switch and then to Clariion CX3.
Each LUN on the Clariion create 4 path to the host. I created 8 LUN,
reconfigured Solaris for make them visible to the host and then tried
to create a ZFS pool. I encountered a problem when I run the command:
--
# r...@solaris10# zpool status
pool: tank
state: ONLINE
scrub: scrub completed with 0 errors on Mon Dec 14 05:00:01 2009
config:

Next task will be to upgrade PowerPath (from 5.2 to 5.2 SP 2) and then
retry the command to see if the problem (internal error) will be
disappear. Anybody did have a similar problem?
