SUMMARY - Adding hot-swap disks to a V240

Hi - many thanks to Darren Dunham for the correct answer. My problem was
that I was running "devfsadm -c disks" instead of "devfsadm -c disk". I
just re-ran it, and everything worked fine. Not quite sure why "-c
disks" seemed to half-work, but all seems fine now.

Original problem :

I have just added two disks to a V240, and am having trouble getting
"format" to see them. I inserted them, and saw the following :

[ID 978971 kern.error] DISK @ HDD3 has been inserted.
[ID 978969 kern.error] DISK @ HDD2 has been inserted.

I then ran devfsadm -c disks, and got :

[ID 193665 kern.info] sd2 at glm0: target 2 lun 0
[ID 936769 kern.info] sd2 is /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/sd@2,0
[ID 107833 kern.warning] WARNING: /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/sd@2,0 (sd2):

[ID 193665 kern.info] sd3 at glm0: target 3 lun 0
[ID 936769 kern.info] sd3 is /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/sd@3,0
[ID 107833 kern.warning] WARNING: /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/sd@3,0 (sd3):

71132959 512 byte blocks

However format doesn't list them. If I use cfgadm -al, I get :

Ap_Id                          Type         Receptacle   Occupant

unknown
c1::sd3                        disk         connected    configured
unknown
c2                             scsi-bus     connected    unconfigured
unknown

So I can see the two newly added disks, but they are just listed as sd2
and sd3, instead of cxtxd0. Also, looking in /dev/dsk, I can see that
the symlinks to the /devices tree haven't been created, although there
do appear to be entries in /devices. What should I be doing to get the
OS to "see" these disks ? I'm running SunOS 5.8 Generic_108528-27 sun4u
sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240.
