Format cannot see disks but probe-scsi-all can

Hi Folks,
I have attached a Storedge with five disks to an external SCSI card and can see all the disks via the probe-scsi-all command at the OBP. However when I do a boot -r I would expect to see all the disks with the format utility but I only see the internal disks.
Has anyone had this problem? If so am I missing something obvious?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
check the scsi-initiator-id in printenv on OK prompt .If it is 7 change to 6 and check whether u can see the hard disks through format command. and also u can run these three commands on root prompt to detect the hard disks
1) # drvconfig
2)# disks
3)# devlinks
Best Luck
Regards

Probe-scsi-all sees something, but OS does not

How about a more specific question this time?
I'm seeing something that may be relevant in probe-scsi-all:
/pci@1d,700000/SUNW,qlc@1
*************************** Local Loop Devices ***************************
Adapter loopId - 0
Device AL-PA a7 loopId 28 Hard-addr 28 Port WWN 216000c0ff89203a

...but if I run format, I don't see any 3511-related devices, even if I:
/usr/sbin/drvconfig
/usr/sbin/devlinks
/usr/sbin/disks # or /usr/sbin/tapes for tapes
/usr/sbin/tapes
/usr/ucb/ucblinks # Compatibility links
What do I need to do to make some devices visible on a V440 from a series of 4 3511's?
See also the post I'm about to see about serial communications though.

Any further suggestions? Thanks much for taking an interest in this.

Probe-scsi-all failed

hi all :
I have 2 v440 (solaris 9) and 2 Sun StorEdge 3320 and I can see the disks from format command but not from probe-scsi-all.
When running probe-scsi-all , it keep giving the following message ::
Error : LSI 1030 : timeout waiting for interrupts status
Could not set initiator ID
MPT firmware, FaultCode : 8112
Thanks for any reply !

I have the same errors.
I created a mirrored root drive on my v440 and I do not believe it is working. The Sun manual said I could boot off the mirrored drive, but that failed.

Need help on storedge 3310......
As I discussed an issue on 3310 .......
I tried probe-scsi-all to check the storage device........but its not showing it.............
any idea??

hi, guys:
about your question, at first , we need to ensure your 3310 configure .
1. do you map lun on 3310 with sccli ?
2. is the SCSI HBA adapter sun brand ?
if you sure it is mapped.the scsi adpate is sun , maybye the line or scsi apapter is defect. you need to replace it.
because of i have ever an question that similar with you . the OS can display disk, but the probe-scsi-all cannt display it .
for a long time , i investigation it , i have found out the cause, the HBA adpater isnt sun brand.
hopful it can help you !

Video Conferencing Program cannot see myself but the other party

I have made a video confrencing a program. I am now able to see the other party doing the conferencing but I cannot see myself on my screen. Can anyone help?

If you meets that any other one can't see themself just like you.
I think It's becaouse you use the datasourse for your transfer to another.
you shold find of the sample of JMF solution as the clone datasourse sample.
and you can play your own capture and transfer at the same time.
or if just you can't see yourself and other party cannot see you. You should check the hardware by JMF Registry.
Hope this help...

Create ASM Disk Groups cannot see Disk Path to select during installation

Hello Guys,
I am setting up 2 node RAC on 11gR2 and Linux.
I have configured all the pre-installation steps that are required to run Grid Setup as per my understanding.
I have configure SAN partitions using multipath.
I can see my SAN volume when i query multipath -l
Then i configured the raw partitions by oracleasm. Configured and then created mount points:
/dev/oracleasm/disks/
CRSVOL1 DATAVOL1 FRAVOL1
Later on I created the disks using oracle asm command:
/usr/sbin/oracleasm createdisk CRSVOL1 /dev/mapper/racdbp1 and so on...
I have run /usr/sbin/oracleasm scandisks
Cleaning any stale ASM disks...
Scanning system for ASM disks...
And when i list disk with command /usr/sbin/oracleasm listdisks
it shows the disk like this on both nodes:
CRSVOL1
DATAVOL1
FRAVOL1
BUT during the installation screen when it comes to create ASM Disk Groups It shows nothing in the add disk frame, I cant select the volumes I can list, like i did above.
Any hint please?
Thanks, Imran

Thanks but my problem is very specific. I feel that i have performed all the necessary steps to get complete the step i discussed above. As per different commands all is set. But i am unable to see Disks and Disks Paths during the installation screen. This is another output to verify if the installe user have rights on the asm devices:

Macbook Air cannot see Wifi but iPhone, iPad, and boot camp Widnows can

I just started living in an apartment with a shared wifi router. I have no control over this router and i'm fine with that since I'm just with my girlfriend here and don't have a lot of other uses for it other than simply downloading stuff and using a computer.
The problem is that literally every device I have (iPad, iPhone) can see and connect to the wireless network. Oddly, my Macbook Air 2013 cannot see this network. Some days I am actually able to connect and it works fine but then it'll just disappear and I cannot find it again. I have bootcamp installed on the Macbook Air and when I switch to Windows I can see the network and can connect with no problems.
I don't understand why the Mac OS side of things fails to even see the network when this is one of the devices with probably the most powerful network card considering it's 2013 and even has the ability to connect to ac wireless signals.
Any suggestions? I would prefer to use my Mac OS side of things rather than Windows due to battery life at least, among other obvious things.

I FIXED IT!!!!
I reset my airport express (for the umpteenth time) but this time I did a manual setup instead of going through the assistant. Changed the Channel to 10 (I am surrounded by other wifi networks using 1 and 11, so I just picked anything but 1 or 11) and configured it for 802.11g only (it defaults to b/g on the setup assistant).
So far, no problems, and both MBA and MBP connect.
I would guess this has started to happen recently due to one or both of
- recent Lion updates
- additional wifi networks popping up in my apartment building causing some kind of interference
That's my layman conclusion anyway.
Thanks for all your help! I feel like a heavy weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

Firefox 9 cannot load websites but internet explorer 9 can

The title explains it all really. I have read and done all thats in the "Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can" pages regarding firewalls, malware and others.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Cannot see disk in J4200 by "format" command - Solaris 10

Dear all,
I have a Sun SPARC T2000 server and a J4200 array connected to each other by SAS cable. The T2000 server was installer Solaris 10u8.
I installed CAM 6.5 software in my server and I successfully registered the J4200 array, after that, I can see all disks in this array.
However, when I issued the "format" command, I didn't see any disk in my array. I've got the same result after performing a reconfiguration boot.
I do not know how to do now to see the disks in this array.
Please help me in this case.
Thank all of you very much.
HuyNQ.

Folks,
Interesting info as I tried with SPARC base runing Solaris 10 OS. The daemon is auto imported the unit without I have to issue the OS scan device "devfsadm".

ASM with Oracle10 cannot see disks on Solaris

Hi,
I just installed Oracle10g on Solaris-64 and first thing I tried was to create database using ASM. Seems, ASM cannot find any disks though all 6 of them are available. I tried different ways, but there is no result so far. Any idea what am I doing wrong?
-Dmitri

Ooh, ooh. I did. :)
I had the same problem. Permissions and ownership were set correctly. The path to the disk was set. I could see and touch the disk as the oracle user. But, dbca saw nothing. Connecting to the adm instance and using the gui to create the diskgroup failed to see the disk. After MUCH searching on Oracles sites (otn & metalink) I found this note Create Partitions in Solaris and add them as disks in ASM 271621.1 metalink. It is not really clear way there needs to be 500 MB in slice 0 on a Solaris partition, I tried it at 10MB and found it worked with either slice 4 (the recommendation from the note) or slice 6 (the one that almost everyone working with Solaris [other than this notes author] uses). The size may be much smaller. Oracle must be doing something in slice 0, but I dont know what it is.
Anyway, after partitioning the disk and reserving 10MB in slice 0, the disk did show up in dbca. I am about to reinstall Oracle and try from the beginning.
My next challenge is how do I place the control files and online redo logs on a different diskgroup than the main database. I did not see a way in dbca to manage this.

Solaris 10 on Newisys 4300 - Cannot see disks.

Dear All,
I am trying to install Solaris 10 on this machine but after going through the initial install screens (indentify host/network setup) it quits the install process complaining that no disks are found.
The machine has an LSI Logic MegaRaid SCSI 320-2 Controller with 4 disks each of which has been initialised.
Fedora Core 3 (64bit) installs no problem on to the machine and sees all 4 disks.
The machine is a dual Opteron with 8Gb RAM. (the Newisys machines are essentially the v20z and v40z machines)
I have tried everywhere to get drivers for Solaris 10 but to no avail. Can anyone suggest where I might get drivers or where I am going worng?
Many Thanks,
Philip.

Dear All,
I am replying to my own message here as I have discovered the problem.
The issue was with the raid card which is the standard card for a Newisys 4300. This is an LSI Logic card for which there are currently no solaris 10 drivers.
In the end we had to buy a raid card from Sun and replace the original LSI Logic card. This now works fine and sees the disks.
Philip.
