can anyone help me?
Jako,
You need to see a partition table on the disk - at the very least it needs to have a slice 2. Even if there are other slices, as long as slice 2 is there and is the correct length, this is OK (if you are going to initialise the disks in vxvm later it doesn't matter as it will re-partition the disk anyway) - however you need that initial label / partition table for VxVM to see the disk correctly.
If you aren't seeing a partition table/label in prtvtoc, rebooting will not help / will be a waste of time, as VxVM needs the label to see the disks correctly before it will enable the paths.
(If you have more recent versions of VxVM eg: 5.1 or 5.0MP3 rolling patches, vxdisk will show the disks as nolabel rather than error - so it's a bit more descriptive - the point is you need to label the disks before you can use them)
Label the disks as suggested, check they are labelled with prtvtoc, then vxdisk scandisks to rescan the disks.
If you choose to ignore everyone else's advice so far, and want go ahead and waste your time with a reboot, that's up to you, but it's not going to help if you don't ensure the disks are labelled properly as suggested in the first place.
