Did you previously label the disk with an older version?  If so you need 
to destroy the label before you can re-label the disk on a newer version 
of Solaris so that it's the correct size.

You originally asked about Solaris 2.6 so I suspect you may have labeled 
the disk there which limited it to 8GB.  A valid label, even if it's 
wrong and doesn't describe the entire disk, will be honored by newer 
versions of the OS.  That's why it needs to be destroyed and a new label 
written.
