You should be using rdsk instead of dsk. If you "ls -l" /dev/sdX you'll see, it's actually just a symlink. ls -l /dev/rdsk/c3t1d0p0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 53 2013-05-29 21:26 /dev/rdsk/c3t1d0p0 -> ../../devices/pci@0,0/pci1028,211@1f,2/disk@1,0:q,raw You have to check perms by "ls -l" on the target. ls -l /devices/pci@0,0/pci1028,211@1f,2/disk@1,0:q,raw In my case, I see these perms: cr-------- 1 root root Which means no. Being part of the "disk" group isn't going to do any good. sudo chown eharvey /dev/rdsk/c3t1d0p0 Worse yet, the permissions will reset every time you reboot the host. I use a SMF service to chown the volumes on every reboot. (And start and stop the guests.) https://code.google.com/p/simplesmf/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
