I have a X3-L2 server and added 2 drives ( HD-7 and HD-8 )
I want to access the raw discs via /dev/rdsk and /dev/dsk
I ran devfsadm but the drives do not show up.
In the LOM console the drives show as installed.
What do I need to do to make the visible to the OS (Solaris 10)?
I was expecting /dev/dsk/c0t6d0 and /dev/dsk/c0t7d0

The easiest way, if your circumstances allow a reboot, is probably to
touch /reconfigure
and reboot.
