A couple of questions/comments on some specifics below.

Target Validation
-----------------
Target Validation will be performed via the use of Shadow Lists
on the backend. The following is a list of all the validation
checks that will be made for the respective target entities
not counting the checks specific for GPT.
Partition
- Only one Solaris2 partition on a given disk should exist
- A maximum of 4 primary partitions can be present
- A maximum of 1 extended partition and at most 32 partitions
within that (one Solaris2 partition) can be present
- Partitions should not overlap
I presume you mean to say "must not"
- Partitions should not be too small for a given architecture
Can you clarify what "too small" means?
- Solaris2 partition must be<2TB for VTOC
- FAT32 partition must be<4GB
- Extended partition must greater than a certain size (to
account for 63 reserved sectors, etc)
- A partition must not be in-use for something else (eg: part
of a zpool)
Slice
- Number of slices must not exceed MAX_NSLICES
- Slice number must be MAX_NSLICES-1
- Slice size must be less than the size of a disk
- S2 must be the backup slice
- S1 must be swap slice (is this really even needed?)
The above two seem unnecessarily restrictive. They are conventions that
we ordinarily use, but a slice layout that doesn't conform to them would
be valid, I believe.
- Slices should not overlap
How about "Slices must overlap only with a full-disk backup slice"?
