FIrst you need to make the system aware of the disk

# devfsadm

I cant remember if this will make the disk show up in format, but even if it does it will most likely not be usable.

The you need to create the fdisk partition. If you want to use the whole disk as an SMI disk you can use

# fdisk -B /dev/rdsk/cXtYp0

or for EFI

# fdisk -E  /dev/rdsk/cXtYp0

Then the disk should show up usable in format
