cfgadm is for hot plugging devices. Assuming you install them while the server is powered off, if the new disks do not show up at reboot with iostat -En, just run devfsadm -v and they should.

And about the zpool, so "zpool create name disk1 disk2", would create a pool "name", that I could afterwards format, and create a filesystem on ?

You already did that with zpool create ...Should you need to create more than one file system later, better to create a specific one for your scratchpad as bartus11 already explained.

DESCRIPTION

       The   CardBus   slots   in   Solaris   are  hot	plug  capable.	This  capability  is  supported  by  the  PCI  hardware  specific  library
       /usr/lib/cfgadm/pci.so.1 through the cfgadm command (see cfgadm(1M)).

       The hot plug administrative models between  CardBus,  PCI,  CompactPCI,	and  PCI  Express  operate  the  same  fashion.  Please  refer	to
       cfgadm_pci(1M) for the usage information.
