Networker will automatically make a lus device if the fibre cards used are 
predefined in /usr/kernel/drv/lus.conf if not then you need to run 
lus_add_fp_devs to know about the jukebox , this script on Solaris uses 
luxadm and what luxadm works with depends on the version of Solaris. 
If memory serves me in Solaris 8 or less then it will only look for Qlogix 
cards, in Solaris 9 it picks up Emulex cards as well and I don't know what 
it does in Solaris 10!

PPS and it didn't work with solaris 9 and a Sun V245 with Sun's emulex 
cards because the path to the devices was too long for luxadm !!!
