Follow the instructions in the appropriate Sun HBA installation guide found at http://docs.sun.com/app/docs?q=StorageTek+Host+Bus+Adapter.
After installing the HBA, perform the following steps for an interactive network-based installation of the Solaris 10 10/08 x86/x64 OS.
For more information, refer to Solaris 10 Installation Guide: Basic Installations, 817-0544 at http://docs.sun.com/.
See Figure 8-1 for an example of one of several BIOS setup screens.
Note - The system BIOS setup screens are different for each system BIOS vendor.

Figure 8-3 luxadm display Command and Output
The following luxadm command output from the example in the figure can be used to map the MPxIO based c#t#d# to the HBA WWN and array WWN:
MPxIO c#t#d# = c0t600015d00020280000000000000001142d0
Array WWN = 213600015d207200, LUN 0
HBA WWNs = 210100e08b206812 and 210100e08b30a2f2
Follow this step for each HBA to be used for multipathing, and specify the boot device to be the FC LUN on which you installed the Sun Solaris OS. See Figure 8-4 and Figure 8-5.
In this menu, you can select the boot device/LUN by the array WWPN.

Note -
The figure shows the following modifications:
Selectable boot = Enabled
ARRAY WWN = 213600015d207200
ARRAY LUN = 0
HBA WWN = 210100e08b206812
