Thank you all for your hints. Every named tool works fine. But the disk
didn't show up anywhere. Not in format, scsiinfo, iostat, prtconf,
prtvtoc,...
Not until I created the soft links in /dev/dsk/c2t2... and
/dev/rdsk/c2t2... to the corresponding /devices/ files.
Now it shows up in every tool properly formatted and everything like all
the other disks. Does this tell me something? Is there a reason for
these soft links not being present?? Do I have to check anything first
or can I start working with this disk as normal?
