(Solaris 11 x64) Disk may not be visible on VM even after the VMwareDisks resource is online

Last published : Sep 18, 2026
The disks that are attached during VMwareDisks resource online operation may not be visible to the VM user through OS commands. Due to Solaris operating system behavior, the hot plugged disks may not be visible immediately through the commands and hence user is unable to locate those disks.
Workaround: Run the command devfsadm -Cv on the virtual machine to rescan devices.
