Hey,
Basically the problem was vxconfigd was not starting while boot up.
The solution was given by Juergen Waiblinger"<juwa@triplestor.com> & few other people. But the solution quoted below is from juergen.
Thanks everyone.

Symptom:
After installing VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2, vxconfigd fails to start
because libdevid.so.1 is not available.
Exact Error Message:
ld.so.1: vxconfigd: fatal: libdevid.so.1: open failed: No such file or
directory
Solution:
The following Solaris patches and package are required prior to the
installation of VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) 3.2:
109529-06 (or greater)
111413-04 (or greater)
SUNWsan
Solaris patch 111413-07 includes the library libg_fc.so.2, which is placed
in the /usr/lib directory. This library has a dependency on
/usr/lib/libdevid.so.1:
# ldd /usr/lib/libg_fc.so.2
libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1
libdevinfo.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdevinfo.so.1
libdevice.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdevice.so.1
libnvpair.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnvpair.so.1
libdevid.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdevid.so.1
libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
/usr/platform/SUNW,Ultra-5_10/lib/libc_psr.so.1
If the root disk is encapsulated and /usr is a separate partition from
root, /usr/lib/libdevid.so.1 will not be available during boot. As a
result, vxconfigd will fail to start, and the system will not boot up
properly. The workaround is to copy /usr/lib/libdevid.so.1 to /etc/vx/slib
after installing VxVM and before rebooting the system:
# cp /usr/lib/libdevid.so.1 /etc/vx/slib
If you are running into this problem, follow these instructions:
1. Boot from the Solaris 8 cdrom:
ok boot cdrom -s
2. Mount the root file system:
# mount /dev/dsk/cXtYdZsW /a
where X, Y, Z, and W are the controller, target, disk and slice numbers for
the root partition respectively.
3. Mount the usr file system:
# mount /dev/dsk/cXtYdZsV /mnt
4. Copy the libdevid.so.1 library:
# cp /mnt/lib/libdevid.so.1 /a/etc/vx/slib
5. Unmount the root and usr file systems:
# umount /a
# umount /mnt
6. Reboot the system:
# reboot
The problem has been addressed in VxVM 3.2 patch 02 and is documented in
VERITAS Incident 89089.
Supplemental Material:
System: Ref.# Description
iTools: 89089 Additional libs need to be added to SO_LIBS in vxvm-startup2
