    Ok here's the summary:

    I get a lot of "Out of Office AutoReply's" :)
    And the solution from Doug Granzow.
    The new disk didn't have a backup partition on slice 2.
    So i labeld the disk and did vxdctl enable again.
    After this all disks were visible.

    Thank you for your help .... no i can go an join the weekend :)
