There are 3 ways to achieve rebuilding of device tree after adding a new device:

1.    touch /reconfigure
   --> Creation of this file causes the Solaris OS to check for the presence of any new devices the next time you reboot the system,and this file will automatically be removed during the bootup process.

2.   Issue the following from the Unix Shell as root,
       reboot -- -r

3. Issue the following from OBP,
       boot -r

touch /reconfigure and then reboot the system. During reboot the new device is detected and also the reconfigure file is removed
 
(or)

boot -- -r (from UNIX shell as root user)

(or)

boot -r (from ok prompt)

In Solaris 8 and higher, you can use the "devfsadm" cmd for this purpose.

In < Sol 8, you can use the "drvconfig" cmd.
