After creating a RAID volume using raidctl, use format(1)to configure and label the volume before attempting to use it in a Solaris operating system.
# format
The format utility might generate messages about corruption of the current label on the volume, which you are going to change. You can safely ignore those messages.
In this example, c0t2d0 is the logical name of the volume, and its corresponding number is 2.

Note that c0t2d0 now has a type indicating it is an LSILOGIC-LogicalVolume.
The volume can now be used in the Solaris OS.
