1. When add the new hard disk in solaris, first u will check the "format" command, if it is detected ok. 2. If it is not detected, u can use the devfsadm command. it automatically creates the device drivers and detect the disk. 3.Then u will create the slices using format command. what are our requirements. 4. After u will create the filesystem using newfs/mkfs Syntax: newfs /dev/rdsk/c#t#d#s#. 5. finally u mount the allready exsting directory. Syntax: mount /dev/dsk/c#t#d#s# /mount_point. This processor manage to installing new hard disk.

Note: u must enter the entry the file system in /etc/vfstab for automatic mounting when system is booting.

There are three options to achieve this

Option A:
#touch /reconfigure
#init 5 (Install the new hard disk)
Check with format command

Option B:
#devfsadm -C (Clean-up unreferenced device links and finds newly added hard disk without rebooting system)
Check with format command or /etc/path_to_inst file

Option C:
ok boot -r (Perform reconfiguration, checks attached devices and its drivers, creates physical device names in /devices and links to /dev, builds device tree in /etc/path_to_inst)
