Thanks for the fast response.
Phil Baldwin suggested to try dsfmgr -m dsk7 dsk2.
But the system-response is: dsfmgr: ERROR: second device status is active:
dsk2a.
As I might have not clearly mentioned, at the moment there is no device dsk2
on
the system(At least 'hwmgr show scsi' doesn't show anything). I used to have
disk
dsk2, but (as a mistake) I deleted the entry after installing the new disk.
I have
no idea, why the system is complaining about a busy dsk2a, although there is
no dsk2 there. (The sys-disk is dsk6)
