can somebody helps me ? Many thanks
 
This may be the issue you are seeing

When VDEVs (virtual devices) are not "activated" for a snap session, they are "not ready" (NR) to the host, similar to when a BCV is established.
Note: Virutal devices are the target devices for Symmetrix snap operations. NR is a SCSI device state.

Different OS's deal with NR devices in different ways.
Solaris tries to read the device label to get the device geometry. Since the device is NR it cannot read the label, hence the label error. Since it cannot read the label, it cannot determine the geometry, hence the geometry error.

Thanks - we don't use snap session, but how can I stop this warnings - I use PowerPath VolumeManager maybe it's helps you. In fact - I receive this warning every 3 seconds.
 
take a look to the "failover setup" in the NAvisphere GUI connectivity status. it should be:

:Array
failover mode:1
:Enabled
 
Thanks - there are all connectivity to this host like this

ArrayCommPath: enabled
failover mode:1
Unit Serial Number: array

Is there more to check - thanks
 
Did you get the resolution. I am also facing the same exact problem.
 
No - I copied the Lun to a new Lun and destroyed the old after. Now is okay.
