I have 3 LUNs presented from EMC VMAX Storage. When I try to access the direct LUN device it work fine, I can create slices and mount the filesystem also.

But when I try to access the LUN using the EMC Power Device, it gives me error. In the format command itself it shows the following:

====

root@server1 # format

Searching for disks...

Error: can't open selected disk '/dev/rdsk/emcpower1p4p0'.

Each option in the above list gives different sizes for the disk. And even after that when i label the disk and issue format again, it will ask the same question.

I deleted the power device and reconfigured powermt still, I have the same problem.

Can someone guide me how the power device can be made usable.
