Solaris uses 3 ways to obtain serial number, they described here:
http://wikis.sun.com/display/StorageDev/Solaris+OS+Disk+Driver+Device+Identifier+Generation

Standard scsi_inquiry procedure can't obtain serial number for non-Sun  
disks,
sd driver gets it from page 80h and creates property  "inquiry-serial- 
no".
