Appreciate the answers so far, thanks.
I'm not at work now so I can't get the release but I believe it's 5/08 as I built the main clone a month or so ago. I'll track down the VMWare release on Monday as well.
I'm aware that my disk space is currently at 4 gigs as that was how it was designed. The intention was to create a core clone already installed, patched and security scanned. As folks need an instance of Solaris, it'd be cloned and then additional space carved out as virtual disks to accommodate whatever application is to be used. A final security scan could be done and then the system brought up live.
In this case I'm creating an apache server with a mysql backend (internal wiki server). So I am being allocated 15 gigs of additional space. I expected it to show up as c1t1d0 or c1t0d1 to be newfs'd and mounted.
I used devfsadm to try and discover the new disk, same as touch /reconfigure which apparently didn't work which is why the question.
Normally I'd do it as a zone and use ZFS on a Sun box but they want me to use VMWare because it's already in place and on the internal production network.
But thanks for the advice on how to install Solaris
