No disk found error

Hi guyz,
I am trying to install Solaris 8 in a compaq machine. The installer started and proceeded until setting up of Time Zone. After that I got the following error:
No disk found. Check cable or connection.
Please help me to correct this error.
regards,
Amin

Did you check that your compaq machine has a Solaris supported disk controller?

Does the vendor (Compaq / HP) provide drivers for the disk controller, in case the standard stuff included
with Solaris doesn't support the disk controller?

"No Disk Found" error during installation of Solaris 10[11/06] on HP 6710b

Hallo Guys,
I am trying to install Solaris 10 on my HP 6710b lap top but it fails with "No Disk Found" error.
I used "Solaris 10 support tool" to check my system and it reports that my system is supported.
You can find the report bellow. I am sure that my disk is OK and I am also using "CD-ROM" option in BIOS for installing solaris from my Solaris DVD.
I have also updated the drivers using "CPQary3-1.71-solaris10-i386".
Please help me.
Thanks,
Qumar

V440 No Disks Found Error

Hey all,
I have 2 v440 with 2 disks in slot 0 & 1(in each node). I'm attempting to install S10u8, but I'm getting an error saying, "No Disks Found" during the initial install.
On the 1st node I was able to install it on one system, but it only saw c1t1d0 and does not see c0t0d0. I've done devfsadm and no go. I have the latest patches installed as well as the latest OBP and firmware/patch installed.
Also, the system does have the latest firmware-version for the v440 issues.
prtconf -vp | grep 'firmware-version:'
firmware-version: '1.03.11.01'
The 2nd node is the one that is giving me the "No Disks Found" error.
Has anyone experienced this before?

Hello,
On the 1st node I was able to install it on one system, but it only saw c1t1d0 and does not see c0t0d0.
Is this a typo (c0 and c1, should read c0t0d0 and c0t1d0) ? If yes, reseat the disks (as Martin already suggested).
Otherwise do you expect to see some of the internal disks on one controller and the remaining on the other ?
After reviewing the "Matrix of Recognized Device Paths"-InfoDoc, the SCSI backplane is attached to one channel of the SCSI controller. The second channel is the external connector on the back.
*Please post the output of probe-scsi-all or at least confirm that the disks are displayed at the ok-prompt.*
Alterrnatively review the disk status via ALOM, this allows to get the information even on production systems without bringing them down.

Solaris10 Update 10 (08/11) No Disks Found error vm3.0.1

I have successfully installed Sol11 Exprress and Oracle Linux 6.1 in VM 3.0.1 using ISO method.
My setup includes iSCSI devices and a HA config.
However, everything I’ve tried with the newly released Solaris 10 R10 (08/11) it fails to finish installing with a No hard disks found error and the install aborts.
I’ve tried Xen HVM and HVM PV Drives Domain types with same results.
Has anybody been able to install this release of Solaris in OracleVM 3.0.1?
Edited by: user10052240 on 22-Sep-2011 9:47 PM

Still no luck, I get through the installation until it asks about CDROM media, then I get a pop up window with the "No Disks found" eror, after that the install exists to xterm window.
Here's my vm.cfg in this instance I did not change xvd to hd as all my attempts to change this cause vm not to boot.
-thanks for any advise.

Error Message - No Disk Found

I plugged in my ipod (60gig) and I got the message that no disk found. I installed the lastest ipod software, still same prob. I then reset the ipod and same problem I uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it and it worked for a couple of hours and then I got the same message. In the mean time it freezes up the itunes application and when I try closing it I get the message that itunes is not responding. I have to do a hard shut down and restart my pc. It works fine with just itunes, but as soon as I plug the ipod in it freezes then giving me the no disk found error message. Anyone know why this would happen? I have had it just over a month and this is the first time this has been happening.

Does the problem link download a file? Firefox remembers the last download location on a site-by-site basis, and it's possible that location existed temporarily but no longer exists.
If it's not a download, if you hover your mouse over the link, does Firefox show that as part of the URL (down toward the bottom of the browser)?

No disks found during installation (x86)

Hello,
I'm trying to install Solaris 10 on a x86 home computer. I'm not very familiar with Solaris, only Linux/GNU, Windows (eek) and some MacOS.
When I'm installing I get the "No disks found" error.
I have 2 SCSI disks hooked up with VIA VT8237 chipset (integrated Serial ATA/RAID controller) and the cd-rom (actually a DVD burner) on IDE.
Could someone help me

The "smartii" driver version 2.20 that I found on HP's web site at:
http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/16328.html
contains the following file:
DU/sol_28/i86pc/Tools/Boot/smartii/smartii.itu
I'm a bit surprised that the driver package version mentioned inside
that file is "1.1.1" (and not "2.20"). I'm not sure if this a packaging
error by HP?
Anyway, according to that smartii.itu file, the following PCI devices
are supported by the "smartii" driver:
PCI Vendor / Device / Description
==================================================
0e11 4033     "Compaq Smart Array 3100ES Controller"
0e11 4032     "Compaq Smart Array 3200 Controller"
0e11 4034     "Compaq Smart Array 221 Controller"Can you please check (using the MSDOS "prtpci.exe" utility, or
Linux "lspci -nv") if your compaq raid array controller uses one
of the above three PCI vendor/device ids?

I have had my iMac for 55 days now and twice I had to power off/on and then It does not power up correctly. I verified my disk and found errors that could not be repaired. I erased the drive and restored system back to the previous day.

I have had my iMac for 55 days now and twice I had to power off/on and then It does not power up correctly. I verified my disk and found errors that could not be repaired (errors were associated with boot drive) I erased the drive and restored system back to the previous day. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Since it's a new machine, contact Apple's Support and let them deal with it. Allen's already recommended an Apple repair station visit. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you might be eligible for an onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine (depends on where you're located). BTW, the AppleCare Protection Plan's the best warranty policy available for desktop machines. Get it if you don't have it before contacting Apple.

Time machine fails backing up with a "backup disk not found" error after upgrade to Lion 10.7.2

Time machine fails backing up with a "backup disk not found" error after upgrade to Lion 10.7.2. I've erased and reformatted the drive; reconnected Time Machine(it saw it) and began a new backup. The backup starts again but fails before completing with backup drive not found error. I used the 10.7.2 combo update. Any help on how to fix this problem would be appreciated.

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
After waiting since October for a fix, I have now upgraded the firmware on the Time Capsule and installed the new Airport Utility, released yesterday, and the situation is even worse.
Up until now, the Airport Utility had an option to disconnect all drives manually and the Time Capsule would then work until the next reboot – a temporary (?) work-around.
Now that option does not exist in the new-look Airport Utility. And the Airport Utility installation can’t be rolled back and the old utility won’t restore.
The sparesbundle is still not accessible. Anyone worked out a work-around in the new environment yet?
I have another Time Machine backup working fine to a trusty old Lacie Drive so erased the one on my Time Capsule to see if that works. I have renamed the Capsule and the Time Capsule Drive. But to build another full backup will take at least two days and I shall be away from tomorrow and am reluctant to leave the Capsule and computer up and running for a week. And I’ll bet the sparsbundle will still be nowhere to be found.
How can Apple screw up so badly when they are to become the richest company in the entire world and – soon – will have more cash in the bank than the entire United States? Can’t they afford someone who really can sort this out? Especially when a Firewire connected hard drive – my trusty and simple LaCie – works fine.
Words, almost, fail me.

Hard Disk - (3F0) BootDevice not found" Error Message how do i fix this

Hard Disk - (3F0) BootDevice not found" Error Message

Sounds like the hard drive has failed and will need to be replaced. If you are still in warranty HP will send a replacement. If not a retail laptop SATA hard drive can be used. Just be sure to get one of at least equal capacity as the original in order to use Recovery Discs. It can be larger, but not smaller capacity.For instance you have a 320GB hdd now so you could use a 500GB hdd but not a 250GB hdd.

Solaris 10 installation gives error "No disk Found"

During the installation of Solaris 10 on dell XPS400, it gives error that says no Disk found:
I have already partitioned by disk in the following manner:
1st partition: 30 GB: NTFS (WIn XP installed)
2nd Partiion: 20 GB: NTFS (data)
3rd Partition: 25GB: RAW
is there any special setting that I need to do for Solaris to detect the hard disk.
Please help!

I do not think you need a driver for the disk.
... you need to reconfigure your system with respect to the DISK CONTROLLER.
Solaris 10 "doesn't do Serial ATA very well".
Search the forum, keyword sata and then read and read and read.
I believe you need to reconfigure something in the PC's BIOS.
However, that may have an impact on how well your current install of WinXP works.
So, I suggest you just go get an additional disk, a conventional IDE drive (not a SATA disk),
and install to that new drive instead.
Then you choose whichever device you want as the boot drive each time you power it on.
... or just go get an older, used computer and dedicate it to operating systems other than Windows. Leave the Dell system alone.
Install... erase ... install something else ... erase ...
etc, etc, etc

Error No disks Found during Solaris 10 installation

Hi,
i am trying to install Solaris 10 x86 on an Ml370 server that we bought. during the installation it gives the error No Disks Found. how can i correct this problem?

One question:
Does this server ,ML370 G5, support Solaris in 64 bit mode?
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/systems/details/1891.html doesn't indicate if it is certified for 64 bits.
and http://h71028.www7.hp.com/enterprise/cache/493913-0-0-0-121.html indicates ony 32 bits.

If it's not a download, if you hover your mouse over the link, does Firefox show that as part of the URL (down toward the bottom of the browser)?
