Dvd reading in sun ultra 40

i have an ultra 40 machine with an built-in MATSHITA DVD-RAM. i also have an external dvd writer. i use the external dvd writer usually, expect for booting from the optical drive. i have a dual-boot solaris/linux on my machine. now i have want to upgrade my linux. when i try to read a dvd using the built-in drive it refuses to read the dvd (no problems with the disk). it can read only cds on this drive. what could be the problem? i had got this machine 2.5 years back, and i was able to read dvds on this machine then. i had upgraded the bios around 2 years back. is it something to do with the bios or os, or is it the different dvd-format problem. how can i confirm this? and is it possible to overcome this problem. thanks.

Dual Layer DVD reader for Sun Blade 2500?

Can anyone recommend a dual layer DVD reader that will work with the Sun Blade 2500 (Silver)? Either something to replace the built-in single layer reader or something that will work externally either via firewire or USB.
Thanks!

I haven't had occasion to use a dual-layer drive yet, but I've found that all the external and internal Sony drives I've ever happened to plug into my old 1500 worked great...

Upgrade for Sun Ultra 60 without DVD?

20 January 2012
Greetings,
I have a Sun Ultra 60 (SUNW, UltraSPARC-II, 64-bit) currently running Solaris 9. The Ultra 60 was listed on the HCL for the Solaris 11 Express release last year, so I assumed it would run Solaris 11. But having downloaded Solaris 11 11/11 and burned it to CD, I get the error message:
Error: 'SUNW, UltraSPARC-II' is not supported by this release of Solaris. Program terminated.
Problem #1: The Solaris 11 Express release, which might work, is no longer available. Problem #2: The Solaris 10 8/11 release, which should certainly work, is available only on DVD or as an .iso image to be burned to DVD. (Too large for a CD, I presume.) The machine has neither a DVD reader nor burner, and obtaining one looks like a budget buster, even assuming I could find a driver for it for Solaris 9. So: Is there a way to get a version of Solaris 11 which will run on the Ultra 60, or a version of Solaris 10 on multiple CD's, or some other work-around? It is an odd situation that Oracle has a product which I wish to buy, but cannot find a form in which to sell it to me.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Magnus,
Thank you for your reply. No, Live Upgrade does not address my problem:
1) I do not have the Live Update software on this machine. Where would I get it?
2) Live Upgrade still requires a source from which to update the mirror image of the boot environment it produces. The Oracle White Paper on the subject mentions the Solaris 10 DVD. If I could read the DVD, or if I had another source of Solaris 10, I would have no problem to begin with.
We have to break out of the circular reasoning here. So the question remains: Where or how do I get a non-DVD form of the Solaris 10 operating system?
Thanks again for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Ian H. Redmount

Upgrade for Sun Ultra 60 without DVD--Act II?

29 January 2012
As I previously marked the original version of this question as Answered, let me return to it in a new thread. I have a Sun Ultra 60 Workstation running Solaris 9, and I wish to upgrade it to Solaris 10 (8/11 version). It will not take Solaris 11. But Solaris 10 only comes as a 2GB .iso image suitable for DVD, not CD. This machine has no DVD burner or reader.
User abrante (Magnus) suggested using lofiadd -a to interpret the .iso file as a logical device, mount the logical device on the system, then use Live Upgrade to create a Solaris 10 boot environment from the image. This all works, except for the last step. I can mount the .iso image as an ordinary file system, and browse through it in the usual way. I was able to load the Live Upgrade software via pkgadd. I was even able to run the Installer executable on the image, direct from the command line. This installed the Live Upgrade software again, but would not install anything else. And the kicker--the Live Upgrade software would not recognize the interpreted image as a Boot Environment. For that matter, it would not recognize the original boot environment on the system as a boot environment. For example:
unknown# lucurr
ERROR: No boot environments are configured on this system
ERROR: cannot determine boot environment name for mount point </>
unknown# lustatus
ERROR: No boot environments are configured on this system
ERROR: cannot determine list of all boot environment names
This is rather odd, as the system does boot to a working Solaris 9 system. Trying to use the .iso image--mounted on /mnt--as a source for lucreate gets
ERROR: source bot environment </mnt> does not exist.
ERROR: cannot create new boot environment using options provided.
OK, so what's the missing trick? How do I get the Live Upgrade software to recognize boot environments, and in particular how do I get it to recognize the .iso image interpreted by lofi?
Many thanks for your further assistance.
Sincerely,
Ian H. Redmount

Hello, Ian.
I am a happy owner of the old decent Ultra 10, the junior sibling of your Ultra 60. I faced the same problem with Solaris 11 11/11 Error: 'SUNW, UltraSPARC-IIi' is not supported by this release of Solaris. And I have a couple of solutions for you.
1. Buy a DVD drive :). I confirm that at least Solaris 10 update 7 installs from DVD and then runs on Ultra 10 flawlessly (I didnt' try current update 10). The only trick is: discard regular Ultra's 40-wire IDE cable, replace it with modern 80-wire one.
2. Download Solaris 11 Express (2010/11). I confirm it installs and runs on Ultra 10 flawlessly. Yes, it is n/a on the Oracle web site, but still easily available in torrent networks. Search for "Solaris 11 Express 2010.11", and you will find many torrents. You need "sol-11-exp-201011-text-sparc.iso" (452M) CD image. I believe that downloading Solaris 11 Express is legal.
One more thing - sometimes installer forgets to write a boot block on boot disk, and you may need to run installboot manually after installation.

Konstantin Andreev.

Unable to install Solaris Sparc 10 on SUN Ultra 10

Downloaded ISO of SPARC 10 DVD from Oracle site, burnt it and tried to install on SUN Ultra 10 (300 MGz / 256 MB RAM / 80 GB IDE HDD)
Followed the process as specified below:
1. Stop+A to stop the current boot process.(Already SPARC 8 is installed)
2. AT OK prompt typed boot cdrom
3. After some time (3-5 min) prompting error
*"boot device: /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/cdrom@2,0:f File and args:*_
Panic - Kernel : kmem64 allocation failure+_
Program Terminated+_
ok "+_
Checked in few blogs and burnt another DVD with less writing speed, still same error.
Checked with Sparc 8 CD's, Sparc 5.8 installing without any errors.

... (300 MGz / 256 MB RAM / ) ...I suggest you forget about trying Solaris 10 on a system with such limited resources.
If I recall correctly, Solaris 10 needs a minimum of 768MB of RAM to install and 1GB or more of RAM to run, even if you had a cpu that was fast enough to run anything.
Perhaps consider it this way:
Would you even dream of trying to install MS Windows 7 on a Pentium-I at 300MHz?
Stay with your Solaris 8. It's from the same late 1990's era as that hardware and fits it just right.

Sun ultra 40 boot problem AMD Opteron

Hi,
my Sun Ultra 40 will not boot, it is an AMD Opteron based machine, the cooling fans are spinning, but there is no msg to read on the monitor.
Occasionally I got it to boot, it ran for two weeks, but at next reboot it displays no signal to the video card.
I spotted this in the manual
===
During POST, the BIOS outputs the error code to I/O port 80h. The workstation
motherboard is equipped with a two segment LED display that displays the current
value of port 80h.
===
but I cannot get the glue in it, maybe because I have opteron AMD and this is targeted to sparc.
Last error msg I read was like this:

Yet Another CD-ROM problem Sun ultra 10

Hello There.
I just got a Sun ultra 10 and I am trying to install Solaris 10 on it using the original DVD that I got from sun.
However when i try running a boot cdrom at the ok prompt I see that it cannot read the label.
Im sure it is because it is a DVD and not a CD. Isn't it?
Can the sun ultra 10's CD reader read a DVD..i dont think so.
By the way is there a work around for this.
Is there a way to boot from the network. I am pretty new to the sparc platform and id love to have a simple How-to about booting from the network.
I have a 10 Mbps LAN connection at home with Dynamic IP addressing.
Hope to hear from you,
Aijaz.

hmmm..interesting.
I do not seem to have a spare DVD drive at the moment. Can i not connect an xternal DVD drive to that machine?
Additionally it says that the openboot version of the box is 3,19 and I wonder if it shud be at 3,3 inorder to have the proper install of the solaris 10.
Hope to hear from you soon,
regards
Aijaz.

Is there any way to get firmware update for my DVD-RW Drive from Ultra 40?

Hi, I have Sun Ultra 40 Workstation which comes with Matshita DVD-RAM drive.
While I do enjoy working on my U40 workstation, its DVD-RAM drive is wll pretty bad.
It just fails to burn DVD/CD-R/RW media too often.
Yes, I got it serviced, but it's just the same.
So my final hope is to get the latest firmware, becuase latest firmware often solves such media compatability issues.
Mine has D100 firmware and I find other people who has the same drive on different system have D101, D200, D201 firmware.
So does anyone know how to contact Sun to get the latest firmware for my DVD-RAM drive?
I did contacted Matshita for this matter and they tell me to contact Sun. But I cannot even find email address for Sun Support or any. sigh...
Thanks.

Hello Sang,
I have Sun Ultra 40 Workstation which comes with Matshita DVD-RAM drive.
Mine has D100 firmware and I find other people who has the same drive on different system have D101, D200, D201 firmware.
So does anyone know how to contact Sun to get the latest firmware for my DVD-RAM drive?
I did contacted Matshita for this matter and they tell me to contact Sun.
I did review the Full Components List for the Ultra 40. The only DVD drives listed (Part No. 370-7970) are Panasonic UJ-485 and Teac DV-W28SLA-093. Both aren't capable of reading or writing DVD-RAM.
In some countries Panasonic uses Matshita as brand name.
I did a search on SunSolve with the keywords DVD firmware.
Sun supplies only firmware updates for two DVD readers: Toshiba DVD 1401 (fixes: unable to boot from Solaris 8 DVD) and Toshiba SD-C2732 (fixes: returns incorrect data).
I was unable to update the firmware of the SD-C2732 (Sun part) with the Sun patch. The drive was attached to an Ultra 10 (with an adapter). I ended attaching the drive to a PC and using a DOS boot floppy with the Toshiba flash program and the Sun firmware.
Regarding you problems with the drive: Have you tried another brand of media. The Ultra 40 is under warranty (GA date was February 14, 2006).
Use the contact information from your other thread.
If you search the net for firmware you can locate sites that offers region-code-free firmware for several drives. Usually they provide a flash program (requires creation of a DOS boot floppy). Using these programs/firmware voids your warranty. Maybe you can not revert the firmware upgrade.
These slimline drives have no jumpers, the installed firmware (of the drive) determines if the drive is master, slave, uses cable-select (CS) or reversed CS.

Sun Ultra 24 CPU fan - bogus fail message

I have a Sun Ultra 24. When booting, it says the CPU fan is failing, and wants to shut down. I looked at the system, and this error message appears to be wrong; the fan inside the heatsink mounted on top of the CPU is spinning, as is the case fan.
I saw another post elsewhere here saying that it's a BIOS problem, and that updating the BIOS will help. I tried that, but no dice. Suggestions?
Thanks!
Fredrik

Solved. Using the 1.4 support DVD, I 1) upgraded BIOS, and 2) upgraded the Intel management engine thingy. Then for good measure, I cleared the CMOS.

Sun Ultra 24 - BIOS Update problem

I have a Sun Ultra 24 where I attempted to update the BIOS to v1.5 using the Sun Tools CD v1.3. After successful install and validation of the BIOS, I am at a POST screen where I have the option to press F1 to load default values or F2 to run setup.
The problem is that my USB keyboards are not being recognized. I have tried all USB ports and two different USB keyboards. The system gives a beep, recognizing that the keyboards are being plugged in and out, and the Caps lock LED is lit for just a second, but after that it is not recognized.
The internal LED BIOS POST code is showing "85", indicating (from the Sun manual): 1. USB final initialization. 2. Switch screen back to text mode.
I have also attempted to remove and replace the BIOS battery.
Any other thoughts as to how I can recover my BIOS or get the system to recognize a USB keyboard? I do not have any PS2 ports on this system.
Thanks for any assistance.

I posted too soon, I was able to find another way to update the BIOS, and this worked. For some reason, my keyboard would not work earlier to enter the BIOS settings, but I was able to use Ctrl+Home to update the BIOS from my USB flash drive.
Here are the instructions from the Sun 820-2480-11 document:
Corrupted BIOS: System Does Not Perform POST
An interrupted or failed BIOS update, might result in a corrupted BIOS, which could
cause the system to fail POST and not boot. To resolve this, perform the following
BIOS recovery procedure:
1. Copy the file /BIOS/BIOSxxx.ROM from the Tools and Drivers DVD to the
root directory of a USB flash drive.
2. On the flash drive, rename the file BIOSxxx.ROM to AMIBOOT.ROM.
3. Insert USB flash drive into an available USB port on the workstation.
4. Power on the workstation, press and hold the Ctrl + Home keys, and watch the
USB flash drives access light.
5. When the flash drives access light starts to blink, release the keys.
6. Follow the onscreen instructions to recover system BIOS.
This procedure will be added to the Sun Ultra 24 Workstation Service Manual.

I don't know exactly what is the origin of the problem, How to solver or how to prevent to avoid further problems. This is the first time I have had this Kind of problem on my Server SUN.
I appreciate greatly, any tip o help.

Unless you've somehow maintained a service contract on that system,
by specific system serial number,
your best bet is to haunt an online auction site (such as Ebay),
and get a replacement cpu or cpus for shelf stock.
Your current OBP patch level is only down two patch levels,
but your kernel patch level is essentially "never patched".
If it were patched better it may have noticed the issue a lot sooner.
Expect to replace that cpu.

Sun Ultra 5

Hi everybody,
I have buyed a Sun Ultra 5 used with Solaris 8 pre-installed.
When I turn-on power the system starts but I havent openboot prompt. I want install Solaris 10. How I can start openboot's prompt and run the command "boot cdrom"?

The STOP-N keyboard sequence is a great beginning for any used SPARC system.
It will reset all firmware settings to their factory default values.
There's no telling what the previous owners may have done
to enter custom settings in its OBP. (you can memorize "N" for normal if that helps)
You hold those keys until you see a signal finally get to your monitor.
It will be uncomfortable, but they need to be held that long.
Once that is done you can use a different keyboard sequence
to get to the OBP prompt.
STOP-A will end the boot-up process and get you to the OK prompt.
Here is a link to the OBP 3.x Command Reference Manual.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/806-1377-10
Your Ultra-5 has a version 3.x OBP prom in its design.

Basic networking - getting a Sun Ultra 10 on my home network

Hello,
I have a Sun Ultra 10 at home running Solaris 8.
I am trying to teach myself a bit about networking so I thought I would try to get the box online. I am having little success. Hopefully someone will tell me where I'm going wrong. Here's what I've done:
- Created /etc/hostname.hme0 with entry "mymachine" (without the quotes)
- Edited /etc/hosts so that its contents are:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.110 mymachine loghost
My documentation states that the fully qualified domain name should appear on the second of the above 2 lines, but I don't have a "mycompany.com" type domain thing, so I'm not sure what I should put, if anything?
- verified that /etc/nodename contains the single line:
mymachine
- created /etc/defaultrouter with sinlge line entry:
192.168.0.1
This is the IP of my broadband router.
When I rebooted the machine, an ifconfig -a reported an IP of 127.0.0.1 against hme0. That seemed odd (given that I put the IP in the hosts file) so I ran:
ifconfig hme0 plumb
ifconfig hme0 192.168.1.110 up
and ifconfig -a then reported that the IP of hme0 was 192.168.0.1.
However, I cannot ping 192.168.0.1. I get "ICMP Host Unreachable from gateway 192.168.1.110 for icmp 192.168.1.110 to 192.168.0.1".
I think it is quite likely that my problem is hardware. I have a network cable running from the network port on my Ultra 10 to port 3 on my 4 port hub (I've tried 1,2, and 3). Port 4 is the Normal/Uplink. I have a cable running from a port on my broadband router to port 4 on the hub. The port is set to "Normal" rather than Uplink. The Rx light flashes on port 4 - but not on port 3.
I'd be extremely grateful for any pointers on this!
Regards,
Paul

I changed the IP on my Solaris box to 192.168.0.110 and all was well. Well, I can get onto the internet now, and can see my Windows boxes from my Solaris box, but oddly I can't see (using ping) my Solaris box from my Windows box.

Prom Security on Sun Ultra 10 Workstation

Just purchase a Sun Ultra 10 Workstation from my company. When I took the system home, it would boot with the follow sequence:
Boot Device: disk File and args:
SUNOS Release 5.7 Version Generic_106541_09 64-bit [UNIX(R) System V Release 4.0]
Copyright(c) 1983-1999, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
configuring network interface: hme0
Hostname: skywalker
The system is coming up. Please wait
checking ufs file systems
/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s7: is stable
NIS domaniname is nexen.com
starting routing daemon
starting rpc services: rpcbind keyserv jpbind done.
WARNING: Time out waiting for NIS to come up.
The system locks and thats all she wrote. I have tried using STOP-A commands with no luck. It looks like the Prom Security must be enabled because the documentation specifies that these commands will not work if prom security is enabled.
Attempted to install Solaris 8 and other that this initial CD lights indicating that a cd was loaded, I cannot get beyond this.
Is there any suggestions on what to do next to get the system up and running or just to get Solaris 8 to start load, anyone????

You already posted this question, approximately 10 days ago,
[http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5394403|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5394403]
and have responses to your inquiry.
Keep in mind that you'll get no output to any screen until you connect a Sun-branded keyboard-and-mouse kit. Do NOT force a PS/2 keyboard into the systemboard port else you'll damage it.
That screen must also be capable of displaying Sun's default resolution of 1152x900 at a vertical refresh of 60Hz. If the monitor cannot do that, it will commonly stay black.
Stay with your original forum thread. This "duplicate" will likely get deleted as being a double-post.

Sun Ultra 10 with SunStorEDGE A1000/D1000 unable to setup

I realise this covers old ground but I have not been able to trace a uitable resolvement and would be grateful for assistance.
I have a Sun Ultra 10 with 256MB RAM and 440GHz cpu.. It has a pci Adaptec 2944UW HVD SCSI interface card. The storage system is a tray of eight scsi 72GB disks housed in a D1000 case. NetBSD reported it as an A1000 SunStorEDGE at sd0 having 16 targets and 8 luns. However NetBSD did not have a readily available controller to setup the raid system so I installed an alternative. I presume the case is a reused old case housing an A1000 unit.
I tried to format the drives directly but they are not lists as devices such as ct1sd1 etc. and so this is not possible.
I have installed Sun Solaris 10 but could not communicate and reported inability to use rdriver and rdnexus and after reading a number of reports that driver hooks had been removed from the kernel in Solaris 10 I have installed Solaris 9.
On both occasions I installed a number of RAID Manager 6.1.1 control packs, namely SUNWosafw, osar, osau, osamn and vtsse direct from my CD here.
I commanded dr_hotadd.sh to take up the challenge but it failed to communicate.
I added a number of Rdac amendments to rparams in /etc/osa but this did not resolve the issue.
I have tried to call probe-scsi-all after doing a reset-all from the OBP but this fails to report anything. I presume this is because the unit is connected by the interface card rather than a direct scsi disk.
dmesg pipe grep scsi reports:
unknown scsi sd0 at uata0 target 2 lun 0
I would be very grateful fr guidance to resolve this connection so that I can create a suitable filestore.
Thanks

I presume the case is a reused old case housing an A1000 unit.If it's really an A1000, you won't have access to the drives. You'll only see exposed LUNS from the raid controller. Do you have a dial in the rear with a scsi address? That will be the address that the A1000 will respond on. In addition, the A1000 has only one pair of SCSI ports. The D1000 has two pair and doesn't have the scsi adress dial (because each of the disks in the chassis respond on their own addresses). Instead you have some DIP switches to change the addressing behavior.
I tried to format the drives directly but they are not lists as devices such as ct1sd1 etc. and so this is not possible.
I have installed Sun Solaris 10 but could not communicate and reported inability to use rdriver and rdnexus and after reading a number of reports that driver hooks had been removed from the kernel in Solaris 10 I have installed Solaris 9.That's fine. You can ignore them. Neither the A1000 nor D1000 require those drivers. You should still be able to use 'rm6' or the CLI tools to interact with an A1000.

I have tried to call probe-scsi-all after doing a reset-all from the OBP but this fails to report anything. I presume this is because the unit is connected by the interface card rather than a direct scsi disk.If the controller doesn't support the OBP environment, then yes, you won't see anything then.
dmesg pipe grep scsi reports:
unknown scsi sd0 at uata0 target 2 lun 0So that might be a single LUN from an A1000 controller. If the selector switch in the back is set to '2', then it's even more likely.
