This isn't really a good place to ask Solaris 10 questions not directly related to OpenSolaris, but I'll try answer this one anyway (strictly speaking it has nothing to do with either operating system!)
You are not supposed to mount the same filesystem on two different servers at the same time. For that, you would just mount the filesystem on one of them and NFS export it to the other (for example). Sharing a SE-3510 between two servers allows you to divide up the disks and export some space to one server and some other space to another server. It also lets you create "failover" solutions in which if one server fails, then the other server mounts the filesystem that the failed one *was* just using, and then tries to carry on. But you can't use it to literally share the same filesystem at the same time to multiple servers, because then they would have to co-ordinate on every write and update to the filesystem between them (which involves them talking to each other directly over network), or it will result in almost certain corruption of the data. The only possible exception to this would be if the whole filesystem was "read-only" to both servers, but that doesn't sound like what you are trying to achieve. For "shared write" access, you probably want NFS, or something fancier like AFS, DFS and so on. Don't confuse the SE-3510 with "network attached storage" (NAS) hardware which presents you with NFS (or windows CIFS shares etc.) across the network - they aren't quite the same thing.
