That's good. If there were no necessary changes, devfsadm would say nothing. > 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 There should be no need to create partitions. Something simple like this should work: zpool create junkfooblah c13t0d0 And if it doesn't work, try "zpool status" just to verify for certain, that device is not already part of any pool. > for the time being. fdisk can't open any of the /dev/rdsk/c13t*d0p0 > devices. I tried running format, and get this There may be something weird happening in your system. I can't think of any reason for that behavior. Unless you simply have a SATA card that has no proper driver support from opensolaris while in AHCI mode. > Error: can't open disk '/dev/rdsk/c13t0d0p0'. Yeah. Weird. > AVAILABLE DRIVE TYPES: > 0.
