I checked the /var/lib/dhcp/etc/, and found there is a new subnets folder under the existing /var/lib/dhcp/etc/subnets/, containing all the subnet files.but the new added subnet file was not copied to the existing /var/lib/dhcp/etc/subnets/.

This really isn't a DHCPD issue but rather a SLES issue and their 
startup scripts.  Take a look at /etc/init.d/dhcpd and see what steps it 
follows in the startup.  You should be able to figure out what it is 
doing in there.
