Adding hot-swap disks to a V240

Hi all,

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):
      corrupt label - wrong magic number
[ID 365881 kern.info] Vendor 'SEAGATE', product 'ST336607LSUN36G',
71132959 512 byte blocks
[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):
      corrupt label - wrong magic number
[ID 365881 kern.info] Vendor 'SEAGATE', product 'ST336607LSUN36G',
71132959 512 byte blocks

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

Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant
Condition
c0 scsi-bus connected configured
unknown
c0::dsk/c0t0d0 CD-ROM connected configured
unknown
c1 scsi-bus connected configured
unknown
c1::dsk/c1t0d0 disk connected configured
unknown
c1::dsk/c1t1d0 disk connected configured
unknown
c1::sd2 disk connected configured
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.

I'll of course summarise any responses I get.

Many thanks in advance,

-Mark
