Read at least the documentation!

Currently you are only seeing the raid container.
You have no access to any of the drives itself so far.

In aac(4) manpage:
     Access to RAID containers is available via the /dev/aacd? device nodes.
     The aacp device enables the SCSI pass-thru interface and allows devices
     connected to the card such as cdroms to be available via the CAM scsi(4)
     subsystem.  Note that not all cards allow this interface to be enabled.
