As a workaround you can perhaps try:

   svcs hal rmvolmgr
   svcadm restart hal
   svcadm restart rmvolmgr
   svcs hal rmvolmgr

Both services must be online:

$ svcs hal rmvolmgr                                                
STATE          STIME    FMRI
online         19:28:17 svc:/system/hal:default
online         19:28:22 svc:/system/filesystem/rmvolmgr:default


The underlying problem seems to be that HAL is somehow not always picking up hardware changes.

For example when I plugin a HAMA audio USB device, it is not reported by "lshal"

But after a restart of "hal", the "lshal" hama.before and hama.after files shows it is :

$ diff hama.before hama.after
