You say you created the vg/lvol...

Ok - what is the output of diskinfo on disk?

diskinfo /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX

Do a vgdisplay -v /dev/vgXX (the vg you created) to get the disk(s).

The SCAN result from ioscan means "node locked, try again later". If the device is locked for a long time, that might mean some kind of a hardware failure.

Does "dmesg" have any SCSI-related messages?
Lbolts or something?

Do you have online diagnostics installed? If not, download it:

Run the Exercise tool of the diagnostics for the DS disk. Does it tell anything?
