After a creating a RAID volume using raidctl, use format(1M) to configure and label the volume before attempting to use it in the 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 these messages.
In this example, c1t2d0 is the logical name of the volume.

Note that c1t2d0 now has a type indicating it is an LSILOGIC-LogicalVolume.
The volume can now be used in the Solaris OS.
Note - The logical device names might appear differently on your system, depending on the number and type of add-on disk controllers installed.
