We fibre boot off EMC Symm's & EMC Clariion's, and we ran into a similar
problem for BOS installs directly onto SAN storage. We utilize NIM to do a
network boot and install the appropriate storage drivers/ODM updates into
the SPOT image to support seeing the SAN drives correctly during the
install. I am not that familiar with Shark storage so I am not sure if you
need to add drivers/ODM updates to recognize the SAN storage correctly.
I am also assuming that have the correct level of firmware on your HBA's to
support fibre SAN booting.

I have a question related to this. We are running a Fiber Channel SAN.
When we setup our already running system to run/boot from ESS disks I just
used alternate_disk_install to clone the rootvg onto the SAN disks and then
rebooted. Everything worked fine. When I tried to do an initial BOS
install onto Shark disks I can see the drives on the installation screens
but they are not recognized as bootable. As a result I keep getting a
message stating that "At least one bootable drive must be selected". Has
anyone else run into this issue?

Anyone out there using swap space on an ESS ?
