Physically insert Disks into it.
# vxdctl enable

Can someone flash a light on this one.

SOLUTION:
========
Looks like I had a remanufactured Sun Disks, which were really defective. I
tested the same drives on different A5000, and I got the same results.
Posible Answers:
1. Tony Tran [tonytran at contour.com] tole me to
Check the GIBIC card (fiber)
2. Derrick Daugherty [derrick at tachyon.pointone.com]wrote to me
was right on money. He gave me bunch of solutions,
/usr/lib/vxvm/bin/vxdisksetup -i c3t37d0
xdisksetup: c3t37d0: Invalid disk device for vxdisksetup
/usr/lib/vxvm/bin/vxdisksetup -i c3t53d0
xdisksetup: c3t53d0: Invalid disk device for vxdisksetup
vxdisk list
should be in there. vxdctl enable tells the daemon to go look at slices
3 and 4 of every disk to see if they have vx info. Those new disks
don't until you enable them with the above commands, or something
similar. Whe you set them up it will pass the info to the vx kernel so
you don't need to do the enable again. You can then add them to you dg
or make a new one etc.
Also suggests to try on different A5000. I got same results.
3. Kulp, Scott (Scott) [skulp at agere.com] tole me To check the firmware.
I used
# luxadm disp /dev/rdsk/c2*s2* | egrep -i rev
My revision on the disks were really way behind.
did you get the disks from sun. they have to have special firmware
to talk
to the array controller. If you have any more open slots try luxadm remove
of the disk and try another slot. then try format|label and format |
analyse|read test.

before vxdctl enable do the following three commands in sequence:
drvconfig
devlinks
disks
