Solaris 9 - Driver Detachment Issue - ddi_set_driver

Hi all,
I'm porting a driver source code from Solaris 8 to Solaris 9.
This driver is a pseudo devices driver which is hooked to the sd (disk) driver.
I have a detachment driver issue. I don't arrive to release one instance of my driver (it may have several instances. In fact, one per sd instance).
Up to Solaris 8, it was made with a call like :
ddi_set_driver(dev_info_t, NULL)
But now (on Solaris 9), this function seems not to do the same thing. Indeed, the 'prtconf -P' command enables to display driver is already attached to sd instance although it should not be.
Anybody can help me?
Thanks !

Do you think that can be a bug ? Fixed by a Solaris Patch ?

  • Hard Drive Encryption Issue

     
    This is in regard to hard drive encryption issues in my USB Hard drive. I have Windows 7. I was encrypting my USB hard drive and
    was able to enter a password. However, I did not receive any prompt to save the Bitlocker recovery key.  During encryption process, I received an error. The encryption process was unsuccessful. However, now when I plug-in the hard drive, I receive the
    following message on the status bar:
    Application and Device Control rule Block writing to removable media. Unencrypted drive found (No_Encrypted_Found) has blocked edpa.exe trying to access Volume
    {e3901a75-f1ff-11e1-817c-806e6f6e6963 alpha-numeric number appearing here}
    When I try to open the drive, it asks for a password. When I enter the password, I am receiving the following error message:
    Bitlocker Drive Encryption failed to recover from an abruptly terminated conversion. This could be due to either all conversion logs being corrupted or the media
    being write-protected.
    I have read that Bitlocker repair tool can help resolve this issue.
    However, I just have the password that I had set to encrypt the drive and Bitlocker recovery key identification. Can this help to get access to my hard drive data  using the Bitlocker tool.

    Checked this ?

    This was suggested by the Backup Assist - software vendor....
    A.)
    ...for 0x81080101:
    "ERROR - The shared restore point operation failed with error (0x81000101)
    The creation of a shadow copy has timed out. Try again this operation."
    If you receive the above error in your report, we have recently found a registry key which
    contains the timeout value set by Microsoft for VSS and found that you can edit this to extend it.
    To get to the registry key, open Regedit (Start > Run > Regedit) and browse to:
    "HKLM\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\SPP\\CreateTimeout".
    Change value to 1200000 (2*10*60*1000 = 20 mins).
    The default for the timeout period is 10 mins so hopefully doubling this will give enough time to
    complete the snapshot.
    If this isn't present, you'll need to manually enter the registry key. It's a DWORD 32-bit key.

    Scot Pichelman

    Hi Scot,
    Sometimes a third party backup application will change the default VSS provider adding VSS writers which causes Windows Server Backup using an incorrect component in doing backup, that's why I suggest to delete it for a test. Anyway you can reinstall it
    after testing.
    And as you said a high-load CPU could also be the cause of the issue so you may need to first rule hardware effective out.
    If issue still exists, please try the steps below as well:
    1. Please check DCOM Server Process Launcher service is started.
    2. If not, try to change RPC service to run as SYSTEM account. To do this please modify the following key:
    Note: Backup the key before edit incase it cause any issue.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\RpcSs\
    Find "ObjectName" and change the value to LocalSystem.
    Reboot to see if DCOM back to work and if Windows Server Backup starts working. If not, please provide the result if there is any new error occurs.
    If DCOM still not work, please compare the content of the following key with a working server:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OLE
    Edit if there is any difference and make sure you created a backup of the key before editing.

  • Boot Camp / Windows 8.1 64-bit / Driver compatibility issues

    Hi everyone,
    I have been struggling to install Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit version through Boot Camp on my MacBook Air 13 inch mid-2012 for a few days and I have finally decided to give up and write this thread to see if anyone has encountered the same problems as I have and if they've found a solution.
    What I've tried so far:
    1. First attempt
         a. Download the ISO from Microsoft (We are a Microsoft Partner and have access to internal use licences of Windows 8.1).
         b. Use the Boot Camp utility to create a bootable USB drive, download the latest Boot Camp drivers and partition my SSD drive.
              Issue: Upon rebooting, I got the "No bootable device found" error message. I still tried to boot on the USB drive, which I was able to, but           when installing Windows, I was unable to format the partition created by the Boot Camp utility as it contained a "MBR partition table"           instead of a GPT.
    2. Second attempt
         a. I searched the Internet about the error message about the MBR partition table.
         b. The solution I found was to format the partition created by the Boot Camp utility as "Free space".
         c. I was then able to start Windows installation by formatting the partition I wanted to allot it to through the Windows installation process.
              Issue: The installation went smoothly until my computer rebooted the first time and the "Peripherals preparation" step (sorry about the           approximate translation, I'm used to the French version of it) got stuck at 10% and was brutally followed by a black screen. Forcing the           computer to restart would show the Windows logo and go straight back to the black screen situation...
    3. Third attempt
         a. I decided to create a bootable Windows installation USB drive using UNetBootin utility and creating a "Free space" partition through Disk      Utility on which to install Windows.
         b. I then booted on the USB Drive and was able to install Windows properly.
         c. I donwloaded the set of Boot Camp drivers through Apple's wesbsite corresponding to my MacBook Air model.
              Issue: Somehow, the graphics driver installed by Boot Camp made my system crash as I got a black screen when it tried to install. Even           without doing anything and having Windows try to install the right driver by itself, I got a black screen and an unusable installation of           Windows 8.1.
    What am I missing here? Why isn't the Boot Camp utility working when it should be so easy? Is there a compatibility issue of my graphics driver (Intel HD Graphics 4000) with Windows running under Boot Camp?
    Thanks in advance for your help. I'm in desperate need of a solution as I don't want to go back to using virtualisation softwares such as Parallels Desktop, VMWare, etc. though they work just fine...
    Best regards,
    Alex

  • Solaris 9, Solaris Management Console ISSUE

    Solaris 9, Solaris Management Console ISSUE
    I have Solaris 9 installed and I am unable to use the Solaris Management console.
    I have managed to start it:
    /etc/init.d/init.wbem start
    /etc/init.d/init.wbem status -> shows it's running
    But if I try browser with the link http:// host:898, I have got the following error:
    "A web version of the Solaris Management Console is not available at this time."
    any Idea why?

    Are you running Trusted Extensions? What patch cluster are you on? What toolbox are you opening?

  • Photoshop CC(2014) is having "redraw" or video driver/GPU issues

    Since upgrading my Mac to OS X 10.10 (Yosemite), after a working on a file or two, my photoshop image window looks like this:
    This is a JPG, after I have opened a RAW file, with Camera Raw 8.7 beta (happened before the Camera Raw
    update), and make my adjustments, and save.  Everything seems fine, the jpg preview looks fine, but after working
    on about 3 images, EVERY jpg opens and looks something like this.  I can see parts of other recent images
    in the garbage as well, and the image changes drastically when I zoom in and out.
    I already posted to the Adobe forums, and someone suggested it might be a video driver/GPU issue with the new OS X.
    Any suggestion?

    An Adobe employee in the online community had me turn off "Use Graphics Processor" in the photoshop/prefs/performance,
    and that worked.  Not a total fix, since I can't use that now, and something is clearly not compatible, but at lease I can use
    Photoshop.

  • Solaris Driver Wrong Address Recovery

    Hi,
    i am developing a solaris driver for a custom made IO card. I have a simple question. I have completed development and provide an entry point for pread in driver. When a legal user space address is passed over pread everything is fine data is read correctly. But when an illegal address buffer is passed to driver, kernel panics and system is restarted.
    I handle NULL pointer in driver but how can driver check/recover or just create a segmentation fault without kernel panic when pread is called to read from device to a user space buffer that is NON-NULL illegal address. This problem is applicable for pwrite also by the way?
    Thanks in advance.

    no actually that is not the case. in my seg_flg is UIO_USERSPACE which is set by system(transfer between user and kernel). no conflict on that. the problem is if user space buffer is an invalid address uiomove panics system.
    i guess nothing to do with that. i will have to rewrite my read/write over ioctl entry point and hope that ddi_copyin/out wont panic the kernel. or just live with that weird situation and be careful while calling pread/pwrite on application side :)
    thanks .

  • I would like to buy a developer license to use on a mac at a public library from a flash drive any issue with this?

    I would like to buy a developer license to use on a mac at a public library from a flash drive any issue with this? Very new to this

    The license is for the Developer not the machine it is run on However there could be soma issues with trying to develop on a public machine.
    The biggest is does the library machine have or will they let you install  and run Xcode and if you are developing for IOS will they let you plug in your devices?
    In addition will they allow you the hours needed on the machine? Most public machines have a time limit especially if there are others waiting to use it.
    All-in-all in can be done but it won;t be an easy situation.
    good luck

  • Hard drive space issues

    I have some hard drive space issues.
    At present I only have about 13GB remaining on my 40GB hard drive, which is not necessarily an issue except that I have almost nothing installed/saved on my machine. I have 1 CD ripped to iTunes, no photos in the iPhoto library. I did a quick look with Disk Inventory X and found that the "Printer" folder is 3.2GB - can I get rid of some/all of that as I don't intend to print from the machine?
    What is filling my disk? As far as I can tell the OS should only take up around 3 GB so where did the other 24GB go? Where, oh where?

    Yes, you can delete printer drivers you don't use. OS X takes up far more than 3 GBs. A pretty minimal installation is nearly 7 GBs. Your computer also may have came with pre-bundled software applications (not standard OS X applications.) OS X will also use potentially 10 GBs of space on a temporary basis for temporary files, log files, and cache files. So for a 40 GB drive it's not too surprising to have only 13 GBs free. Perhaps it's time for you to put in a larger hard drive. You can purchase hard drives at:
    MacSales.com
    Buy.com
    NewEgg.com
    The Mini uses a notebook drive. If you have a pre-2006 (Intel) model it uses an ATA drive. After that year they use SATA drives.

  • Hard drive syncing issues "!" HEEEELLLLPPPP!

    Hard Drive syncing issues "!" HEEEELLLLPPPP!
    I use an external hard drive to store all my music. I sync the hard drive with Itunes because my library is way too big to store on my computer. About every 8 month or so Itunes displays "!" next to all my songs because it can't seem to locate them. When prompted to locate file, it can but this needs to be done one by one. I typically delete my entire library and start over. This is a complete nightmare because I have to build all my files and play list again. Can anyone HELP me out of this frustration??? Thank you in advance!

  • Probook 470 windows 8.1 upgrade to windows 10, any driver compatible issue?

    Probook 470 windows 8.1 upgrade to windows 10, any driver compatible issue?

    Hi,
    First I assume there is a bluetooth module inside your computer. 
    If so please test to reinstall its driver. To get a driver for the device, you need to know the brand and model of your computer or your motherboard.
    Generally computer manufacturers will provide all drivers for their computers on their website. Search with your computer model on manufacturer's website could help you get a proper driver. If failed, search your motherboard from its manufacturer instead
    will also help.
    After that, uninstall your bluetooth module from Device Manager and install the driver you just downloaded, reboot to see the result.

  • Solaris 10 x86 shared drive mount issues

    I have an XP installation, a recently-installed Solaris 10 x86 partition, and a FAT32 partition shared between them.
    The issue is this:
    When I have /share mounted (using mount -o rw) and listed in the /etc/vfstab, the super-user owns everything and can write there. No other user can own a file or write anything on that partition. I've been getting a "chown: invalid argument" type message on every attempt.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    Just an update, I just reloaded the server with Solaris 9 x86 and the same problem on it as well. Now I am not 100% that this card/drive configuration did work on solaris 9 before, maybe it was a different SCSI card.
    The server has been loaded with Windows Server and it works ok on that, so I know that the card/drive combination works ok, just not with Solaris.
    Any ideas anyone ? Do I need a different SCSI adapter ?

  • Hp psc 1350 all-in-one driver download issues

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba laptop and an hp psc 1350 all-in-one printer.  Both were working well until Sunday.  Now the printer will not work. 
    The on light of the printer is constantly on when attached to power, I can press the on button so it doesn't appear to be broken, but the light will not turn off. 
    When I remove the power cord the lights cycle through the printer panel (and the on button light does go off momentarily) then the on light stays on and will not turn off. 
    I have been unable to download the latest driver update from Windows Update or any websites automatically or manually  - TOSHIBA USB DVB-T/Analog Hybrid Tuner (391 KB).  The download always fails. I also tried the FixIt facility from Microsoft, but it tells me there are no issues.
    Does this mean the driver is the issue, or do I have to purchase a new printer? 
    Thanks for your help.
    This question was solved.

    Hi Gerri_31,
    I understand you aren't able to shut down the printer with the power button.
    Thank you for your reply.
    I will be happy to help you with this.
    I would do a power reset to see if that will resolve the issue. With the printer still turned on, disconnect the power cable from the back of the printer, hold the power button for 10 seconds to drain any power, if the printer has external power module with a detachable power cord disconnect it for 15 seconds and then reconnect it. Then disconnect the power cable from the wall outlet. Wait 10 seconds and reconnect the power cable back to the wall outlet first, then the back of the printer and power it on again.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector)
    I have provided a document for power issues.
    The HP Printer Won't Turn On or Respond.
    If these steps don't resolve the issue I would recommend to call HP Tech Support for
    further assistance to see what other options are available for you or to find out about
    the trade in and trade up program.
    Contact HP Worldwide.
    Hope this helps.

  • Solaris 8 DLPI issues

    Is anyone aware of any DLPI issues specific to Solaris 8(Beta Refresh 2). In this case,"ifconfig x0 plumb" fails for a pseudo driver in Solaris 8, while the same works fine in Solaris 7. This is a style 2 DLS provider, and it appears that DL_INFO_REQ fails, leading to ifconfig coming out with an error "No such interface".
    Mail to
    [email protected]

    My company is porting a network traffic-monitoring application to Solaris. We would like to use the Solaris "DLPI" interface to receive packets for analysis. However, my understanding is that DLPI will only provide incoming packets addressed to the local machine. In order to receive outgoing packets also, I understand that DLPI requires that the application place the network interface in promiscuous mode, which we are loathe to do for efficiency reasons. I am hoping that I'm incorrect about this; is there a way in Solaris 7 or 8 to use the DLPI interface to receive both incoming packets addressed to the local machine and also outgoing packets from the local machine? Thank you.

  • Primary hard drive upgrade issues

    All this great software has finally taken its toll on the 80Gb of hard drive space that this computer came with (Just for the record, I use the primary drive for the OS and applications only -- I store all of my data on other drives).
    So, I need to upgrade the primary hard drive so I can install even more software and do even more amazing things . I'm going to upgrade my primary drive to a 120gb.
    I've got Carbon Copy Cloner, but it hasn't solved a couple of issues:
    First off, when I make the dupe, it doesn't maintain the original disk's Tech Tool Pro eDrive partition -- I need this on my new drive just in case. Now, you'll say "Why don't you just uninstall Tech Tool Pro and then re-install it when you set up your new drive?" Well, that's because Micromat tracks how many installs you make with any particular activation code, and I'd have to purchase another license to do another install -- and I really don't want to have to lay out $$ when there's really no clear reason.
    Secondly, the CCC'd dupe doesn't play well with Classic. (Yeah, I'm a hold-out who still has a couple of OS9 oldies-but-goodies that I won't give up). The CCC'd dupe drive doesn't contain the OS9 drivers that I need to be able to successfully run Classic.
    So, my overall question is this -- how do I properly set up my new 120gb drive and then properly transfer a complete image of my old 80gb drive onto it so I maintain all my functionality and all my software applications, but wind up with more space to play?
    Thanks!

    I solved my own problem! Here's how we did it:
    First, we booted up using the Tech Tool Pro disk and removed the eDrive partition from the original boot drive.
    Next, we took the new target drive (we went with a 250gb rather than a 120 -- more is always better, no?) and formatted it using Disk Utility from the OSX Panther install disk. This allowed us to put in the OS9 drivers on the disk (didn't find the option for this with Tiger's DU).
    Then we used CCC to clone the old drive over. Then I did a little bit of physical re-arranging so that the new drive was in the master spot on the primary IDE chain in the box.
    Finally, we booted up again using the TTP disk and had TTP create a new eDrive on the 250gb disk.
    After all that, everything works just fine! No problems running apps in Classic, and no need to re-install TTP and spend more money on another license!
