The output confirms there are no links present for the inserted drive.

4.Type the following devfsadm -Ccommand to initialize devfsadm device driver links:

#devfsadm -C

Note –The default devfsadm operation is to attempt to load every driver in the system and attach the drivers to all possible device instances. devfsadm then creates device special files in /devices and logical links in /dev. The -Coption also removes any dangling links.
