drive type unknown: Corrupt label; wrong magic number

I'm trying to setup an iSCSI storage network

        Solaris client (Initiator): fully patched Solaris9 with QLA4050c
        Target: Provigo iSCSI Raid

I have created three different virtual disks on the target system
(500/100/10 GB). This three LUNs I can see from the Solaris client
with the iscsi commandline interface:

$ iscli -l 0 2
HBA/Target/Lun Number = 0/2/0
   Vend = Transtec
   ProdID = PROVIGO1100-ipst
   ProdRv = 1.00
   LunSize = 499.999 GB
HBA/Target/Lun Number = 0/2/1
   Vend = Transtec
   ProdID = PROVIGO1100-ipst
   ProdRv = 1.00
   LunSize = 9.999 GB
HBA/Target/Lun Number = 0/2/2
   Vend = Transtec
   ProdID = PROVIGO1100-ipst
   ProdRv = 1.00
   LunSize = 99.999 GB

Also with the solaris format utility I can see this newly created
virtual disks but with "drive type unknown" and the syslog message
"Corrupt label; wrong magic number":

AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
       0. c0t8d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107>
          /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@8,0
       1. c0t9d0 <SEAGATE-ST336705LC-5063 cyl 18902 alt 2 hd 8 sec 474>
          /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@9,0
       2. c0t10d0 <SUN9.0G cyl 4924 alt 2 hd 27 sec 133>
          /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@a,0
       3. c0t11d0 <SEAGATE-ST336752LC-0004 cyl 18360 alt 2 hd 8 sec 488>
          /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@b,0
       4. c0t12d0 <SEAGATE-ST336752LC-0004 cyl 18360 alt 2 hd 8 sec 488>
          /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@c,0
       5. c4t2d0 <drive type unknown>
          /pci@1f,2000/pci1077,124@1,1/sd@2,0
       6. c4t2d1 <drive type unknown>
          /pci@1f,2000/pci1077,124@1,1/sd@2,1
       7. c4t2d2 <drive type unknown>
          /pci@1f,2000/pci1077,124@1,1/sd@2,2

My questions:

        - how do I have to label the virtual disk?
        - how can I create a filesystem?
        - does it have something to do with EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface)?

Thank you very much for any hints
