@jlliagre: I would like to put any FS that Solaris would recognize, but I didn't find a (freeware) tool on the net which lets me do so.
@hicksd8:
The format on that USB drive could be any that Solaris can read (UFS, ZFS,...).
I tried rmformat -l, but I simply don't get the exHDD which I pluged in.
This is all I get (only the DVD drive):
I tried that with or without the volfs. The fdisk, I didn't try.
Could it be that the problem is in the USB 3.0 port and that the server doesn't support that? or
Could it be that the disk needs to have its own power cord?

sysdef
sysdef(1M) System Administration Commands sysdef(1M)NAME
sysdef - output system definition
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/sysdef [-i] [-n namelist]
/usr/sbin/sysdef [-h] [-d] [-i] [-D]
DESCRIPTION
The sysdef utility outputs the current system definition in tabular form. It lists all hardware devices, as well as pseudo devices, system
devices, loadable modules, and the values of selected kernel tunable parameters.
It generates the output by analyzing the named bootable operating system file (namelist) and extracting the configuration information from
it.
The default system namelist is /dev/kmem.
OPTIONS -i Prints the configuration information from /dev/kmem. This is the default and only needs to be specified if the configura-
tion information from both /dev/kmem and the system file specified with the "-n namelist" option is needed.
-nnamelist Specifies a namelist other than the default (/dev/kmem). The namelist specified must be a valid bootable operating system.
-h Prints the identifier of the current host in hexadecimal. This numeric value is unique across all Sun hosts.
-d The output includes the configuration of system peripherals formatted as a device tree.
-D For each system peripheral in the device tree, display the name of the device driver used to manage the peripheral.
