YDL probably doesn't have the hotplug scripts set up to do all the 
necessary tasks.  One of them is that you have to rescan the sbp2 
virtual SCSI bus to get the kernel to assign a /dev/sdX node to the new 
drive.  Do a google search for "rescan-scsi-bus.sh" to find a shell 
script that rescans all available SCSI busses.
