Check the on-line "Quick Start" docs for Solaris server.  There you will
find directions for installing devices.  You cannot just use the the
existing Solaris devices.  There is a little tweaking todo at the OS level
to create devices ADSM can reference.  It's a little tricky as I found out
a few weeks ago, but only takes a few minutes.

Contact me directly if you want more details.
