Chances are that you installed the machine with only one disk attached (or turned on). You need to do a devfsadm to get it to find the other disk & build appropriate device entries for it (obviously with both disks connected and turned on!).

PS I think you posted an identical query to this in comp.unix.solaris. I fyou want to ask in multiple groups it's better (more polite!) to do so by cross-posting as most newsreaders will then only show the article once. Otherwise people end up seeing it multiple times, which causes annoyance leading to high blood pressure & inevitable death.
