I'm having errors creating snapshots with SnapDrive for Solaris.  I'm running Solaris 10 on a SPARC processor, Veritas Volume Manager and File System 5 and a FAS270 DOT 7.2.2 filer.  I didn't have problems creating the LUNs, even SnapDrive created the /etc/vfstab entries:

bash-3.00# snapdrive snap create -dg testvol -snapname snapdgtest 0001-843 Admin error: Failed to read device config info : Could not read disk format for /dev/vx/dmp/Disk_2

bash-3.00# snapdrive storage create -fs /oratest -hostvol dgtest/testvol -lun netapp2:/vol/vol1/lun1 -lunsize 8g

LUN netapp2:/vol/vol1/lun1 ... created

mapping new lun(s) ... done         discovering new lun(s) ... done

LUN to device file mappings:         - netapp2:/vol/vol1/lun1 => /dev/vx/dmp/Disk_2

disk group dgtest created         host volume testvol created         file system /oratest created

bash-3.00# tail /etc/vfstab /dev/vx/dsk/dg01/vol01  /dev/vx/rdsk/dg01/vol01 /sio01  vxfs    -       yes     - /dev/vx/dsk/dg02/vol02  /dev/vx/rdsk/dg02/vol02 /sio02  vxfs    -       yes     - swap    -       /tmp    tmpfs   -       yes     - /dev/vx/dsk/dgtest/testvol      /dev/vx/rdsk/dgtest/testvol     /oratest        vxfs    -  yes     -

Theres is a confusion, because SnapDrive mapped the LUN to /dev/vx/dmp/Disk_2, but the entry on /etc/vfstab is:

/dev/vx/dsk/dgtest/testvol      /dev/vx/rdsk/dgtest/testvol     /oratest        vxfs    - yes     -

I hope somone can help me with this, I'm not a Veritas or Solaris expert.
