Install solaris 10 on Proliant 1600 - Compaq Smart Array 221

I'm trying to install solaris 10 06/06 on a Proliant 1600 with smart array 221.
I boot from the cd and choose the first option (Solaris), then I get this warning:
WARNING: failed to program IO space [0/20/2] BAR@0x20 length 0x20
and the system hang up.
Does anyone know to what it is related to?
Thank you

Installing Solaris 10 on Compaq Proliant 1600 with Smart 2DH PCI controller

I'm trying to put Solaris 10 on a fairly old 350 Mhz Compaq Proliant.
Compaq SMART-2DH Array controller Ver C rev 3.08
This is a PCI card
I have tried downloading HP's drivers for the Smart II controller and renaming the DU/ folders to 210 instead of 28, and the installation program will process the drivers
When it continues on to the part where you select the type of installation, it gives these errors:
/platform/i86pc/kernel/drv/smartii: undefined symbol 'eisa_nvm'
WARNING: mod_load: cannot load module 'msartii'
WARNING: forceload of drv/smartii failed
WARNING: forceload of drv/smartii failed
Then it will continue on to the GUI portion of the install and give the error about not having any available disks to install on to (check cables)
Is there any way to make Solaris 10 load these drivers? I know it doesn't support EISA, but this card is PCI. Not sure why it tries to load EISA drivers for it.
This thing also has SCSI built into the motherboard, does anyone know if Solaris 10 will support that particular controller? No idea what it's called. If it will, I'm just going to plug the hard disk cable in to that and go with it.

Has any body found a way to get Solaris 10 to install with the Smart-2DH controller? I've got a Compaq Proliant 1850R that also has that raid controller and the Solaris 10 install rejected the Solaris 8 driver.

Solaris 8 install: Compaq Smart Array 431 Controller

How do I get Solaris to recognize the Smart Array 431 controller? It can't find any suitable disks under installation.

I was also wondering why this support was removed since it was in 2.5.1, 2.6, and 2.7? I wish to upgrade my servers to 2.8 however no support for the Array controller. I looked around and Microsoft NT/2000 looks like the only NOS that still contains support for the Compaq Array Smart Controller (EISA). Is it because Microsoft is a Monopoly, or people buy it because they still support legacy hardware/software?

No disk found error while install Solaris 8 intel on Compaq

I use the interactive installation method to install Solaris 8 02/02 intel platform on Compaq DL380 G2 with 4*36.4 GB harddrive and 2G memory. After I configue the network and time, an error message comes up: "No disk found. Check to make sure disks are cabled and powered up."
When I try the Web Start, it will jump the the shell prompt and say something like "No location for installation software ...."
Could anyone give me some clue? Thanks.

Dir Mr. zhechang,

Solaris 8 on Compaq ProLiant 1600

We tried to install Solaris 8 on a Compaq ProLiant 1600/500
with dual processor. The installation failed in the "scanning hardware
configuration" phase entering into debugger mode.
We know that our configuration is NOT on the hardware compatibility list.
On the other hand the Compaq ProLiant 1600 (2 CPUs, PIII-550) can be found
in the HCL.
Any kind of help would be higly appreciated.

The first thing to do with a Compaq is make sure the latest and greatest rompaq has been applied to the board and all devices. Next, download and use the latest and greatest Solaris DCA diskette and use it for the install boot. I am making the assumption you are using the CD this time around. If that doesnt work, you will have to remove all but the bare minimun of hardware and try the install then add each device one by one. The DCA diskettes are updated regularly so thelatest one may solve the issue.

Compaq Proliant 1600 Server Install

Hi!
I'm working on setting up a Compaq Proliant 1600 server. . .I've made a bit of progress thanks to a few posts on the forum.
I've bugged everyone on the irc channel so now its time to ask here :oops:
Basically, I can't get the Arch install to recognize the scsi drives (2) I've got...
What I've done:
1. Loaded all the modules (cpqarray etc...)
2. In '/dev' I did 'mkdir ida'
3. Next I 'mknod /dev/ida/c0d0p1 b 72 1' <---this should be my swap
4. Then I 'mknod /dev/ida/c0d0p2 b 72 2' <-----this is my /
Now I'm not sure what to do...
Since I've been able to partition the drives the next step seems to be to
set filesystem mountpoints, right? The Arch install doesn't recognize the drives at all - It simply says "NONE".
So, if anyone has any tips or advice I'd appreciate it
I'm setting this server up for my school's website - and thought I'd go with Arch. . .
Thanks!
nedson

It's all about loading the right modules. With < 0.7 ISO's you can modprobe cpqarray. Later ISO's don't have cpqarray anymore, they use cciss.

Problem while installing solaris 10 on HP proliant DL 380 G5.

Hi,
facing problem while installing solaris 10 05/09 on HP proliant DL 380G5. The array controller is E200.
i have installed the raid controller driver CPQary3-2.1.0-solaris10-i386, it is going ahead but not detecting the whole hard disk space. My hard disk space is SAS 146GB. There are two 146GB hard disk present. It is showing only 978 MB & only one hard disk. So please help me out. my mail ID is [email protected]

I have a similar issue trying to load Solaris 10u4 on an IBM x236.
I had to put in a recognized SCSI card, attach an external array to the card, and install Solaris 10u4 on the array. Then I had to install the correct driver from OpenSolaris (an Adaptec one for IBM ServeRAID), and do a live upgrade onto the now-visible internal disks. Then I removed the array and cleaned up the traces from the live upgrade.
You may have to do something similar.
And last month the boot drive got corrupted when power was interrupted. "Oops. Wrong plugs..." This time the external array will stay connected.

INSTALL SOLARIS 8 ON COMPAQ

I am trying to load Solaris 8 on a Compaq Deskpro 700mhz, 9gb drive. I am getting the following error "Unable to mount a Solaris root file system from the device". Everything is SCSI on my machine, but how do I mount a file system?
Thanks!

Try selecting the cdrom as your boot source. Also, ensure that you've got free disk space available on your hd. If I do both of these, I've been able to install Solaris on my Deskpro EN.

HP ProLiant Smart Array configuration during deployment with SCCM 2012 with ACU problem

Hello
I am making a OSD from HP ProLiant Gen 8 microservers.
I made an ACU script for making Smart array and logical disks, I made a capture of the existing configuration using hpssascripting -c:
Action= Configure
Method= Custom
Controller= SLOT 0
RebuildPriority= Medium
SurfaceScanMode= Idle
SurfaceScanDelay= 3
DriveWriteCache= Disabled
PredictiveSpareActivation= Disable
Array= A
Drive= 1I:0:1, 2I:0:2
OnlineSpare= No
LogicalDrive= 1
RAID= 1
Size= 953837
Sectors= 32
StripSize= 256
Caching= Enabled
When I put this script in the task sequence, it executes, but when it fails when getting to the step Apply Operating System.
Error log will say it has no bootable partition.
When I do diskpart, I can see the disk and the partitions.
The weird thing is when I manually make the array in the Smart Array Administrator, it works fine.

Fixed, a reboot was required.

Installing Solaris 9 on 1850r w/SmartArray 221

I am in the midst of attempting to install Solaris 9 x-86 on a Compaq Proliant 1850r with a SmartArray 221 RAID controller. As Compaq has not released any drivers for Solaris 9 for intel, I was forced to try to use the Solaris 8 SmartArray driver for the 221 controller. The install program accepts the Solaris 8 221 driver during the first part of the install. It finds the array, and begins copying files to it. However at the end of the GUI portion of the install, after it has successfully written to the drives, the setup program opens a window prompting me to re- insert the driver diskette. When I put in the disk containing the smartii driver which setup recognized, and successfully used to write to the disks earlier in the install, I get a message informing me that the smartii driver is not located on the disk. I have repeated the procees, re-downloaded the driver disk, also tried with the solaris 7 x-86 driver all with the same result. Has anyone found a way to make this work? Please post any solutions to this issue. Thanks

I had exactly the same problem trying to install Solaris 9 x86 onto a Compaq ML530 with a SmartArray 431 controller.
The problem is that Compaq haven't updated the drivers for Solaris 9. So, for the driver to work on the Solaris 9 install you will have to make some changes to the DU diskette.
The reason that the installer cannot find the driver on the diskette the second tome around, is that it is looking for the 2.9 version of the driver and not the 2.8 version of the driver that is on the diskette.
What you have to do is to rename the a: \DU\sol_28 directory on the diskette, to a:\DU\sol_29
Next you have to edit the a:\DU\release.def file and change the number 28 in that file to the number 29
Having done these two things, the installer should now accept the Driver on the diskette and you should be able to complete the installation successfully.

Problems installing Sol 10 x86 on Compaq Harware

Please Help! I am a newbie to Solaris and I am trying to understand some of these postings in this thread. I am trying to install Sol 10 on a Compaq DL360 with dual proc 1.26 MHZ and 3 GB RAM. It has an imbeded 5i array controller with two 36 GB drives attached set up as RAID 0.
I have downloaded the Sol 8 UTI disk for the controller and seem to be able to successfully add the driver for installation. Note: I renamed the directory from Sol_28 to Sol_210 as instructed earlier in this thread. I get a warning message after loading the driver that says :
Solaris could not detect a primary disk.....
However, the system has detected a disk controller without a driver, and assumes that the following disk maps to the primary disk:
/pic@0,0/pcie11,4040@1/cmdk@0,0:a
Choose continue to confirm the Solaris bootpath of the primary disk.
I press F2 to continue.
I continue with setup and choose Interactive text console. It boots the kernel then I get some memory resource overlap warnings but setup continues. Then I get two warnings that read...
Warning: /pci@0,0 /pcie11,4040@1/sd@0,0 (sd1): Request Sense couldn't get sense data
and
Warning:/pci@0,0/pcie11,4040@1/sd@0,0 (sd1): Sychronize cache command failed (5)
Setup continues...
I choose language as English and get same two warnings again. Setup continues. I enter network config info, and set root password then continue. Then installation starts and I get this error...
One or more disks are found, but one of the following problems exist:
Hardware Failure
Unformatted diskThen I push f2_ok and I get kicked out to shell.
What am I missing? Did I miss something? I tried this on another machine, a Compaq Proliant 800 with a 4200 controller with same results. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

FYI: I tried yet another version of solaris as i found out that theres a bug in the 64-bit kernel on update 4 for alot of new processors. Solaris 10 x86 update 7 did the trick! :). Installed right away on a standard 'Solaris 10 (64 bit)' VM. I still find it strange that the most recent version of solaris 10 fails to even start the installation.

HP Smart Array Disk Mounting(?) help

I have just installed Solaris 10 (x86) on a HP Proliant DL380 G4, this involved applying the driver updates for the RAID controller to allow the Solaris install to work (there have been lots of posts about the RAID controller driver being required for the install to work)
The machine has two raid controllers the onboard 6i controller and the additional HP 6400 controller we've added to hook up the Smart Array disks
I need to know how to mount or add or configure the disks in the smart array. I think i have the driver installed for the 6400 raid controller but the next step i am not sure of. The BIOS let me configure the discs to be a RAID 5 and I was expecting to see the discs in Solaris.
Is anyone able to offer a suggestion ?
Having a HP server with a Smart Array / Storage Works device should be fairly common but Google hasn't turned up anything useful.
Further information (may or may not be useful).
In the Server BIOS i have the following information for the disk array controller:
Logical Drive #1 RAID 5 1955.8GB
Direct Attached Storage
Controller HP Smart Array 6400, Slot 3
The individual disks are (i have 8 in total):
SCSI Port 1, ID 0
SCSI Port 1, ID 1
SCSI Port 1, ID 2
SCSI Port 1, ID 3
SCSI Port 1, ID 4
SCSI Port 1, ID 5
SCSI Port 1, ID 8
SCSI Port 2, ID 0
I don't know what happened to SCSI Port 1 ID 6 and 7.
In /dev/dsk/ i have quite a few disks listed but htey don't seem to map onto the 8 disks, or the one disk logical disk i was expecting solaris to see.
I thought my disk would be something like
c1t0d0 - is the disk which Solaris install found (i think)
c2t0d0 - this is a symbolis link to devices/pci@0,0/pci8086,3599@6/pci8086,329@0/pci1014,la7@2/pciell,409c@4/sd0@0:wd
Is this my second disk ??
