adding a usb external drive



hi
I've added a usb external storage device to a sun v440
solaris 9 but i can't work out how to use it.
It looks attached ok -
# cfgadm -l usb0/1
Ap_Id Type Receptacle
Occupant Condition
usb0/1 usb-storage connected
configured ok

and dmesg
Dec 21 15:56:16 server.domain usba: [ID 855233
kern.info] USB-device: storage@1, scsa2usb0 at bus
address 2
Dec 21 15:56:16 server.domain usba: [ID 593373
kern.info] Western Digital Corporation Western
Digital USB Hard Drive AA031117020151

I ran devfsadm -c disk too.
The disk doesn't show under format so I'm not sure how
to see it and mount it ? Its ntfs formatted but its ok
if i need to format it via solaris.

Elaine
