devfsadm -Cv gave a lot of "removing file" messages, apparently for items that 
were not relevant.

cfgadm -al says, about the disks,

sata0/0::dsk/c13t0d0           disk         connected    configured   ok
sata0/1::dsk/c13t1d0           disk         connected    configured   ok
sata0/2::dsk/c13t2d0           disk         connected    configured   ok
sata0/3::dsk/c13t3d0           disk         connected    configured   ok

I still get the same error message, but I'm guessing now that means I have to 
create a partition on the device. However, I am still stymied for the time 
being. fdisk can't open any of the /dev/rdsk/c13t*d0p0 devices. I tried running 
format, and get this

At this point, I not sure whether to run fdisk, format or something else. I 
tried fdisk, partition and label, but gut the message "Current Disk Type is not 
set." I expect this is a problem because of the "drive type unknown" appearing 
on the drives. I gather from another thread that I need to run fdisk, but I 
haven't been able to do it.
