Hi Rong, USB devices usually show up automatically under /media. You can check which removable devices are attached to the system by running rmformat without an argument. This will give you a list of all removable devices, including the physical and logical entry under /dev and /devices. If your USB device doesn't show up automatically under /media, you can run volcheck to trigger mounting of the device. If it still isn't mounted automatically, verify that rmvolmgr services is running - i.e. run 'svcs rmvolmgr'.
