As DukeNuke2 has stated, you need to label the disks (and maybe alter the partitions to suit your needs), create filesystems on the new slices, and then mount them (adding them to /etc/vfstab if you want the mounts to persist across reboots). Of course, you'd probably want to configure volume management to take care of these filesystems and ensure data redundancy.
There is plenty of documentation at docs.sun.com detailing the procedures.
Cheers,
