zpool create zname c4t0d0 succeeds, but this whacky partition table is
what format is showing me. I did, at some point, see the EFI message you
have, but I've been running in circles so much... When it did show this,
it still said 746GB.

That's very odd. If you specified the whole disk (c4t0d0) when you do
the 'zpool create' then zfs should have relabeled the disk as an EFI
label. From your post it looks like it's still using a Solaris VTOC
label:
Total disk size is 48725 cylinders
Cylinder size is 32130 (512 byte) blocks
Cylinders
Partition Status Type Start End Length %
========= ====== ============ ===== === ====== ===
1 Active Solaris 1 48724 48724 100
Instead you should see something like this:
Cylinders
Partition Status Type Start End Length %
========= ====== ============ ===== === ====== ===
1 EFI 0 50128 50129 100
(obviously with different values)
Does the zpool command fail when you specify the whole disk (i.e.
c4t0d0)? Or does it just create this whacky partition table? If it's
the latter then that seems like a bug for sure.

Yeah, I always use the whole disk (c4t0d0). Interestingly enough, I
have to use slice 0 (c4t0d0s0) partition if I want to use the slice
specification to "get the whole disk"; slice 2 doesn't exist, as you
can see from the partition info. And slice 0, the "whole disk", says
it's only 746GB, same as c4t0d0.... I've been fighting this for a
while and tried most everything. :-(

It looks like this disk has a Solaris VTOC on it so ZFS will only
use the partition size that was manually created (or came shipped
with the drive).
Can you try running 'zpool create <pool> <diskname_without_sliceinfo>'?
Example: zpool create test c4t0d0

When I did a zpool create, it built a 744GB pool.

Greetings.
I've connected a Seagate 3000GB HDD to my OpenIndiana oi_151.1.6 X86
server. But when I try to use it, only 746GB show. Printing the
partition table from format shows:

So, how can I get ZFS to see the full 3TB?
Are you trying to use this driver for rpool? If not, you can
simply tell
ZFS to use the entire drive, which should bypass any potential
partitioning issues.
