What does the output of:

say?

Be careful if there's data on the disks that you need!!!

It might just be that the disks aren't "labelled" with a Sun label. When labelled properly a Sun box can read the label and identify the drive.

You can write new labels to the drive(s) by launching the format command with the -e switch (expert mode) which will give you access to a "scsi" menu. Again be careful if there's data on the drives that you need.

Hope that helps.

You always have to consider that there might be a hardware or connection problem that prevents the machine from seeing the disks.
