PureDisk 6.6 has one KB talking about this:
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/335406.htm
PureDisk will need to be installed and configured using the edit topology and install new storage pool scripts. Details outlined in the SPA Installation Guide available the Symantec support web site.
Anyone has experience on installing PureDisk 6.6 on DL380G5? edit_topology.sh and install_newStoragePool.sh still available on PureDisk 6.6?
Thanks very much

VxVM does not support certain types of drives
Hi,
I had a similar problem when I installed dual port drives on a DL380 G5 server.
To resolve the problem, I had to format the partition in XFS instead of the VxFS format.
For some reason, Linux doesn't support Multipathed drives, and seem to recognise dual path drives that have been Raid configured as MultiPagthed...
This enabled me to get PureDisk working properly.
see manual install documentaiton for details on how to configure the volumes manually.
Hope this will help.
