Summary: VXVM doesn't recognized some hard disks

Ok here's the summary:

I get a lot of "Out of Office AutoReply's" :)
And the solution from Doug Granzow.
The new disk didn't have a backup partition on slice 2.
So i labeld the disk and did vxdctl enable again.
After this all disks were visible.

Thank you for your help .... no i can go an join the weekend :)
