Adaptec SCSI controller on Virtual XP mode

I am trying to get my SCSI HP ScanJet 3C/4C scanners to work on my PC. I just installed Win 7 64 bits Ultimate with the Virtual PC-XP mode I cannot get the driver to catch the SCSI controller as it is suposed to be "embedded" in Windows
XP (according to Adaptec) and thus cannot get separate drivers from Adaptec. It is an Adaptec AHA-2910C card.
It shows the card in the hardware manager of Win 7 but has no drivers for it. If I could at least get the XP mode to see it and install the driver , then I would be in good shape. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, that's just not possible, XP Mode running in Windows VPC cannot
see the real hardware of the PC. only virtual devices WVPC provides,
and pass through SCSI isn't one of the things provided.
VMWare Workstation may provide what you want, but I'm not sure about
any of the other VM solutions.

MSI Neo2 865PE and SCSI Controller Question

Hi All,
Im new here so be easy on me
Anyways im currently building a new system P4 System based on the new 800FSB, i have all the parts ready, ie. CPU, DDR400 RAM, Case, Adaptec SCSI Controller, HDD etc etc, but believe it or not i havent purchased a motherboard yet. The reason being i want to get clarification that my setup will actually work with the motherboard before i go out and buy it. WHAT SETUP you ask, please read on
Now the reason im posting here is because from what i can see on the internet this is a really top notch board (best performer in the recent THG test) so naturally its one of the boards im considering.
Now to the my QUESTION: I want to use my SCSI drive connected to the Adaptec as the OS drive and boot from it. However my main concern is that the Neo2 865PE wont let me boot of the SCSI Hard Disk attached to the Adaptec SCSI 21960 controller. Ive been told that certain motherboards eg. ASUS wont detect a SCSI controller on boot up because it will only detect the onboard RAID controller as the SCSI controller, therefore not letting you use the SCSI disk at the boot device.
Can anyone ease my mind and tell me the MSI 865 Neo2 will let me do what i intend??? ie. Boot of SCSI disk.
Any response/comments is appreciated
Cheers

Hi Domino,
Thanyou for testing the setup out for me.....
When you tested it did you have your onboard Intel S-ATA RAID controller enabled? because i believe this is where the problem will eventuate, when you enable the m/b's ONBOARD RAID controllers.
Cheers

Adaptec SCSI Drivers (29160) Availability for Windows 7?

Attempting to "clean" install Windows 7 on SCSI Hard Disks, via Adaptec 29160 controller.
The install doesn't 'see' the SCSI controller.
I'm assuming its a driver issue.
The installation cannot proceed.
Can the Vista Driver be used? Or do I need a Windows 7 specific SCSI driver?
If the Vista SCSI driver can be used how does one use the Vista driver with a "Clean" install?
Thanks in advance...

If you check the Adaptec Knowledgebase
http://ask.adaptec.com/scripts/adaptec_tic.cfg/php.exe/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=13250&p_created=1113325408&p_sid=1u1VcbCj&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=&p_lva=11119&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PWRmbHQ6MSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9MTE2LDExNiZwX3Byb2RzPTAmcF9jYXRzPTAmcF9wdj0mcF9jdj0mcF9zZWFyY2hfdHlwZT1hbnN3ZXJzLnNlYXJjaF9ubCZwX3BhZ2U9MSZwX3NlYXJjaF90ZXh0PXdpbmRvd3MgNw**&p_li=&p_topview=1
you will find the list of supported parallel scsi cards is very short. I was running an AHA 2940U2W which has served very well for may years only to find no support under Windows 7 and no plans for support in the future, which seems to be the case for almost anything that isn't current. I tried the Vista driver, but that refused to install (Windows actually blocked it), so I have had to upgrade to the only card that supports standard 50pin SCSI2 and 68pin Ultra modes, the ASC29320A-R. Unfortunately, this may be the route you have to take to get things working, but be wary. I have a couple of old CD-ROM drives including a quad speed Toshiba tray loader that I find can read damaged discs that modern fast drives reject. Unfortunately, these old drives are not supported by Windows 7 and cause the SCSI bus to keep resetting virtually stalling the machine when disc access is required. Disabling the drives in device manager helps most of the time, but now and again the bus will go into the reset loop and the only way out is to reboot. So, I'm going am having to replace them with something more modern and put together a second machine using the old hardware for recovering damaged discs. I am deeply unimpressed with the hardware support in modern versions of Windows. Right up to XP virtually any hardware could be used. Now it seems it has to be the most recent or it won't work.

SCSI Controller AH2940UW

I am instaling Solaris 9 on a ULTRA Sparc 10 but the installation does not detect the AH2940UW SCSI controller.
Does this controller require a separate driver to be installed or is there another configuration that needs to be done?
Thanx.

Yes, it would require driver software, and Adaptec chooses to not create such packages.
Adaptec would have to also modify the chipset on that card to make it compatible with Sun's SPARC architecture.
It will not work. Period.
Find a different HBA.
Search the Hardware forums for keyword symbios.
If you search those forums with keyword adaptec you'll find how
It has been discussed, over there, many many times in the last two years..
Don't bother to post a new inquiry, as the issue has been completely discussed.

Need PCI SCSI controller for Sparc

I am perplexed at how difficult it is to get a Sparc-based PCI SCSI controller. I need help. If I search man section 7d of Solaris 9 I can find glm, isp, mpt, ncrs, and syshisl which appear to be drivers for PCI SCSI controllers on Sparc, but no idea of where to buy one (none of these are Adaptec, which I do know where to buy). If I search the Sun Store I can find part numbers for SCSI controllers but absolutely no description of them or which drivers they use. If I search the Sun documentation site I can find a few SCSI controllers mentioned but not referred to by the part numbers on the Sun store, so I still cannot get ordering info. When I search BigAdmin for driver support I find the pages dont tell me which architecture a driver is for. For example, I look up common Adaptec controllers and find drivers such as adp, cadp cadp160 but the web pages neglect to say they are for x86 only.
This is what I need- PCI SCSI controller for SunBlade 100 and SunFire V120, Ultra 2 (LVD).

"... the SSH is your friend..."
"... the SSH is your friend..."
"... the SSH is your friend..."
Go online to the Sun System Handbook. It's your resource for hardware information.
http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub
You find the SB100 and the V120 in the list of EOL systems (both are discontinued models).
http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/eolSystemList.html
For each computer, you can review the "Full Components List" link,
where there is a section that displays SCSI adapters,
including their part numbers and their sales option numbers.
You will be able to see that there was only one LVD card qualified
to function properly in the V120. You will also be able to see
that there weren't any LVD cards ever qualified in the SB100.
I anticipate the x6758a card will work fine in both, .
The SunBlade 100 desktop system is so old that it was already End-Of-Llife (EOL)
before Sun started to ship the SCSI card. Thus there was no reason
to go backwards and qualify the card to a disco'd platform.
If you do decide to purchase and install that card, be sure to read its manual carefully.
You will need to install separate driver software to the computers.
The QUS drivers ship with newly purchased x6758a cards, or can be downloaded from Sun.
... not difficult at all.

Problems setting up SCSI controller -

I'm running Solaris 8 on a PC with a newer Adaptec SCSI Card and I can
not get Solaris to recognize any drives...
A windows boot disk with fdisk on it recognizing the drives fine.
I've also tried an old SCSI card, and it can find the drives.
Any suggestions?
PS. I've also ran through the SCSI cards BIOS setup and they're setup as identical as can be.
Thanks

The only logical explanation is that you do not have the Solaris drivers for the SCSI controller. Check out the Solaris HCL to see if the SCSI controller is compatible.

No Boot-Up with Adaptec SCSI Card

Over the weekend I have built a new PC using an MSI MS6758 875P NEO Motherboard with an MSI FX5600 TD256 Graphics Card.
The CPU is an Intel 3.0 gig P4
The system has 2Gb of 400DDR Memory, a Seagate SATA 150 160Gb Hard Drive and a Western Digital 20Gb ATA Hard Drive and an MRI Connexant Modem.
The system also has a Sony 3.5 Floppy Drive, a Sony DVD Re-Writer and a TDK CD Re-Writer.
The OS is Windows XP Professional.
The system as configured above works fine, the problem starts when I attach my Adaptec AHA-2940U2W SCSI Card which has a Hewlett Packard HP C1533 DDS2 Tape Drive attached to it.
When the card is attached the system goes through the Boot-Up procedure, it finds the Floppy Drive, the Hard Drives, the CD-Rom, and DVD Drive, it then finds the SCSI Card and the Tape Drive, then the SATA Controller and then the Boot-up hangs. If I remove the SCSI Card it Boots up fine.
I have altered the IRQ address on the SCSI Card but this made no difference. The default address for the Card is IRQ 7.
I have configured IRQ 7 on the Motherboard BIOS to ISE/EISA and this made no difference either.
I have tried the SCSI Card in each of the PCI Slots and still will not Boot.
I have replaced the Card and Tape Drive back into the system it came out of and it works fine.
Has anybody had this experience?

The firmware update must be done from MS-DOS (bootable floppy). The firmware update & utility will fit on a bootable floppy. You probably will need to apply the update using a different PC (not MSI Neo2). After you are finished, you will see the Adaptec BIOS shows a date of 2000. Once complete, you can boot from the Adaptec SCSI card and there is no need to disable the SCSI BIOS. I have running (booted from) the machine I'm using to type this.

Hi Val,
Thank you for that, I will carry that out and let you know what happens.

Windows 7 virtual XP Mode impossible since Bootcamp 3.1

I have installed Win 7 on to Boot Camp 3.0 on my macbook pro.
Everything was fine and i could use +virtual XP Mode+ in Win 7 (Microsoft detect tool reported that my macbook was OK for assisted virtualization hardware).
Then, i updated Boot camp to 3.1.
And now, i cannot use +virtual XP mode+ anymore in Win7.
Moreover, Microsoft detect tool now reports that my macbook doesn't support assisted virtualization hardware (or is not configured in BIOS).
How can i configure it in BIOS or anywhere else ?
Is Bootcamp 3.1 compatible with +virtual XP Mode+ in Win 7 ?
Philippe

Microsoft has a utillity that you can download here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0ee2a17f-8538-4619-8d1c -05d27e11adb2&displaylang=en
It runs under Windows and the detection tool helps you check if the computer processor supports hardware virtualization. The tool also checks if this feature is enabled on the processor.
Although this utility can not turn on/off this feature at least you know if you are capable and if it is enabled. My late (2009) unibody MBP ran virtualization just fine both on Bootcamp 3.0 and 3.1. Since MAC has no BIOS, it is unclear how you could configure the EFI to enable this feature.

Do you get error box? What do you see when you run the program developed on xp?
What if you open the .lks file instead of .l4p file?
I don't think there is any difference between the .lks file developed on XP and the one developed on virtual xp.

GDT-SCSI Controller and 865G Neo2 PLS

Hi
I try to install a GDT-SCSI RAID (GDT6528RS) Controller on a 865G Neo2 PLS. While POST of the controller works fine (it detects all the SCSI Disks, says "1 Disk for BIOS"), I can not boot of the RAID. The BIOS simply does not even try. I selected "SCSI" in the BIOS as first in the boot order, but no boot sector gets detected. I already updated the Firmware on the SCSI Controller, I tried to update the mobo BIOS, but I'm not sure which one to take, as it says "BIOS > 3.x are not supported on 865G Neo2".
Has anybody a hint what I'm missing? The SCSI Card seems to need a PCI-Bus Master-Slot, there is nothing mentioned about one of those in the manual. May this be my Problem?
Thank you for your help
Flavio

I got the same issue here with a K8T-Master1 AMD64 Mainboard. The BIOS detects and displays the RAID-Controller (a ICP Vortex GDT8546RZ 4-Channel S-ATA RAID Controller), but regardless what is configured for bootup, the BIOS doesn't even try to boot from this (say SCSI) device. All worked fine with the old ASUS Mainboard before (CUBX-E). I will upgrade the BIOS now, and if this doesn't work either, i need a simple IDE "Boot-HDD", since this is a developer workstation and the RAID is very important.......

Dual ultra320 scsi controller

Hi all
I m trying to install new dual ultra320 scsi controller on Sun Fire c20z Server. But there is an error message
ERROR: EXPANSION ROM NOT INITALIZED
PCI MASS STORAGE CONTROLLER IN SLOT 02 BUS 03 DEVICE 01 FUNCTION 0.0
Pls help me to fix this Problem

Sorry rakman2, but your suggestions will not work with that system.
A Sun V20z is Intel Xeon based.
No OBP, and therefore no OBP commands or utilities (such as probe).
Let's just wait for hero to provide more information.
Edit:
Corrected a typo and noticed that it has been three months.
The original poster has not returned.
... and an error about a ROM on a peripheral usually means unqualified 3rd party hardware.

Cannot configure SCSI controller

Hi, this task has landed on my desk and i have little or no knowledge of what this involves (lucky me). I am trying to configure a SCSI controller using the cfgadm command and it will not configure?
SCSI controllers and attached drives:
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition
c2 scsi-bus connected unconfigured unknown
Basically the host system is running solaris 9 and is connected to one half of a Storedge d1000 which i am trying to get running (disks not running at the moment on one side). I have been led to believe that i need to perform this configuration to get the disks up and running? The other side of the d1000 is connected to another host and is running fine. Any help/advice is much appreciated in advance.
Cheers.

Has the SCSI controller in that Solaris 9 system ever+ functioned with a D1000?
The D1000 is a HVD SCSI device, not LVD, not Single-Ended.
You may just be trying to use the wrong SCSI card.

I cannot find out how to create mount points for those tape drives.
Any suggestions?

Did you do a boot -r?
That will do a 'devfsadm' which does all the /dev stuff for you.
Do you have the latest Recommended patch kit to make sure all your drivers are up to date?

NAC OOB and 6500 in Virtual Switch Mode

Is there any issue or special care to implement NAC OOB in Central Deploy, VGW, using AD SSO for wired clients where the Core Switch is a pair of 6500 in Virtual Switch Mode?
The customer uses Radius IAS for authentication. How does it fit with the AD SSO?

Hi Bruce,
I am afraid there are some arguments missing in your db command.
To manually add the OID of Cat4507R+E to CAM's database here is the procedure to do this.
[root@cca-3140-cam ~]# psql -h localhost -U postgres controlsmartdb -c "INSERT INTO supported_switch VALUES ('1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1286', '4', 'Cisco Catalyst 4507 R+E')" INSERT 0 1
psql: warning: extra command-line argument "INSERT" ignored
psql: warning: extra command-line argument "0" ignored
psql: warning: extra command-line argument "1" ignored
INSERT 0 1
Then to make sure it is there:
[root@cca-3140-cam ~]# psql -h localhost -U postgres controlsmartdb -c "SELECT * FROM supported_switch" | grep 1286
The output should be:
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1286 | 4 | Cisco Catalyst 4507 R+E
Restart perfigo service on NAC Manager and try to manage the switch using the model used by the above command.
HTH,
Tiago
