OSB Version 10.2 device driver issue on Solaris 10

I have a media server running 64-bit Solaris 10, fibre-attached SL500 library with two LTO tape drives. 'installdriver' appears to run without error but when I do
du -a /devices | grep ob | cut -f2
no 'ob' tape devices are listed.
All devices are visible following the 'probe-scsi-all' command.
There are plenty of 'st' devices created when I run 'installdriver', generally with name
st@w<WWN>,0:<bus name instance>
There is an 'sgen' device created with bus name instance 'changer'.
does this look OK? Should I be seeing 'ob' (rather than 'st') devices?
Some additional information.
This is a Sun T2000 server acting as both an Admin and Media server. I've tried running 'installob' but it complains that no 'ob' devices can be found, so this looks like a bug to me. The 'probe-scsi-all' and the devices created as a result of running the 'installdriver' command are shown in the output below.

Has anybody ever got a T2000 to act as an OSB media server before? If so, how?

Thanks for the assistance.
I raised an SR for this and was pointed to the Release notes for 10.1.0.3 which has a description of how to set up devices on Solaris 10. Why these notes were not incorporated into the Install and Config Guide for 10.2 I don't know!

Apple iPod USB Device driver issue on Win XP - syncing shuffle 2nd gen.

Hello fellow iPod shuffle users. Any of you run into this problem using the following configurations? Any advise/recommendations/workarounds much appreciated as I've burned 3 days on this issue and I'm still stonewalled.
I personally think it's a device driver issue/bug and am searching for a way to update my Apple iPod USB device driver for Win XP. Two brand new ipod shuffles (received for Christmas 2008) are both behaving this way, so the problem most likely points to a global software issue more-so than to shuffle hardware issue.
PROBLEM STATEMENT: Driver data i/o streaming issue does not allow shuffle to sync data with iTunes after initial sync (i.e. reading the content of the shuffle is good, but writing modified content fails). Posted error message "The ipod ... cannot be synced. Required disk cannot be found". After cracking the hood on my device driver, the problem seems to point to the Apple iPod USB device driver for Win XP. Driver will recognize the shuffle and read to it, but subsequent write attempts will result in device driver balks that "this device cannot start (code 10)".
ATTEMPTED WORKAROUNDS:
*Read All "How to Get Started Manuals" to make sure I was using the right technique for syncing my two shuffles from within iTunes... tried and failed
*Ensure only one shuffle was plugged in at a time (saw notice that two shuffles plugged in at the same time is not yet a supported config)... tried and failed
*The 5 R's as recommended by Apple Support... tried and failed.
*I've tried all 3 built in USB ports on my Lenovo T60. no love... tried and failed.
*Per discussion board: From Window's Device Manager-> Scaned for new hardware while shuffle was syncing...tried and failed.
* Per Discussion board: From Window's Disk Management -> Ensured shuffle came up as a FAT32 filesystem... connection tore down as quickly as windows recognized it.... tried and failed.
*From Windows Software config utility: Ran repair to re-install itunes 8... same results.
*From Windows software management utility: Uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 8... same results.
Hardware: IBM Thinkpad/Lenovo T60. Using build in k/b & no external mouse. Has 3 USB built in ports.
Software: Windows XP Pro SP2/iTunes 8.0.2/shuffle (2nd gen) driver 1.0.4 (same behavior using the original driver 1.0.3).
Apple iPod USB Device properties:
Driver Provider - Microsoft
Driver Date - 7/1/2001
Driver Version - 5.1.2535.0
Digital Signer - Microsoft Windows Publisher

Hi. Ive got pretty much the same problem.... Got a new shuffle for christmas..having real problems syncing with itunes. Funnily enough I managed to get 25 tracks on it but then it just stopped. error message says " The ipod shuffle cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found." Ive done restore, and downloaded a reset utility thingy to try but still no joy.

X230 Win 8.1 Power Management Device Driver Issue

Hi,
Fresh Win 8 build, in place upgrade to 8.1. Then all Lenovo tools updated and latest Lenovo compatability package installed.
This device is not detected properly. I believe it is a Power Manager driver issue (based on an older post with the same problem, but no resolution posted).
Lenovo X230
Type: 2330-A59
Device instance path: ACPI\LEN0078\5&2890D699&0
Location: on Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller
I've tried the typical deletion of the device and re-run the PM driver install package (latest from Lenovo.com). No change. The device is listed back in Device Manager as an "Unknown" device.
Anyone out there know the solution? I hope it is something I am just over looking.
JIM
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Found the answer. It is NOT the PM Driver.
Lenovo HID HW Radio Driver for Windows 8.1 (32-bit , 64-bit), 8 (32-bit , 64-bit) - ThinkPad ... Learn more

Itunes/Iphone/Ipod device driver issues - tried everything. Still not working.

After hours and hours of research, I'm completely stuck. Here's the basic problem.
When I plug in my Iphone to my laptop, windows pulls up a little window that says installing device driver software. After several minutes, the process fails and a message comes up that says windows found drivers for my device, but encountered an error and wasn't able to install them. In the device manager, the iphone is listed as an "other device" with a yellow triangle/exclamation point. Itunes never recognizes the device.
When I plug in my ipod nano 4th generation, the exact same thing happens, except it's listed in the device manager as an ipod. (same yellow triangle though.)
Up until today, both of these devices have been working properly, syncing without trouble. The iphone synced wirelessly and the ipod every time I plugged it in. I can't figure out what on earth happened to my laptop today that messed things up.
It's also worth noting that I have another older ipod nano... second generation, I think, that plugs in and is recognized immediately, works perfectly.
Here is what I've done so far:
1. I worked through every single troubleshooting guide that Apple has to offer. No change.
2. I did a complete clean install of itunes and all additional components, rebooted and reinstalled. No change.
3. I uninstalled/re-installed usb controllers in the device manager. No change.
4. reset both the phone and the ipod. No change.
5. I've tried various cables. No change.
6. I've run system checks and repair utilities for windows vista.
7. I've used selective start up to see if another program is interfering. I've stood on my head and counted to one hundred. I've only said seventeen swear words.
At this point I've done so much searching and troubleshooting, I can't imagine how anything is going to fix this issue. So this is my last hope. Please oh please be smart enough to tell me what to do...

Not sure if this is significant, but in a weird turn of events, when I tried plugging the ipod in this morning, the little message that pops up to install device driver software actually told me the drivers were installed successfully. However, in the device manager, it still says the drivers are NOT installed properly, the little yellow triangle is still there and the ipod still isn't registering in itunes, or my computer. So. Not really any improvement, but a different symptom none the less?
I'm desperate, guys. Someone help?

Vista VPN Client TrueVector Device Driver Issue

Hi,
I have an unresolved issue with the VPN Client v.5.0.01.0600 (Vista) on a Vista Home Premium System.
The client was successfully installed using admin privileges. But upon rebooting, the following error pops up:
<snip>
This driver is blocked due to compatibility issues...
Driver: TrueVector Device Driver
Publisher: Zone Labs, Inc.
</snip>
This error occurs immediately upon user logon and just pops up every minute or so.
I haven't seen anything about this problem in the release notes. Does anyone know what could cause it or/and how it can be resolved?
PS: Some norton security software (don't remember which one) was installed on this system. But I have removed it prior to the cisco vpn client installation.

On Vista Beta2, the first time logs are enabled, Microsoft firewall would pop-up a dialog box to allow the IPSecLog process. To enable logging, please allow IPSecLog process. Log messages do not show up till the log file is touched.
In Vista Beta 2, the VPN Client is cannot detect that the VPN Client is already connected after user logs in. The workaround is Launch VPN Client. You will notice that the lock icon appears in taskbar.

IPhone not showing up in iTunes- device driver issue?

I'm having a problem getting iTunes to recognize my iPhone. I'm running XP Pro 64-bit. I know iTunes isn't supposed to work with x64 XP, but I've had it working for months now (by doing a quick edit to the .msi installer it will install on XP). I'm using the newest iTunes 8.1 and the new 3.0 iPhone OS (yes, im on the developer program). When i plug it in windows beeps and gives me the camera wizard, but iTunes does nothing. I've tried updating the driver in device manager and choosing "i will pick the driver to install" and then picking the apple mobile device driver. i clicked "continue anyway" when it told me my face was going to melt off if i use this driver. I went to help in iTunes and ran diagnostics; everything passes on the connectivity tests, but then it tells me "one or more sync tests failed". I had it working 2 days ago with the 3.0 and iTunes 8.1. it just all the sudden stopped working. any help is greatly appreciated. i thank you in advance for your time.

If you are a registered developer - the iPhone SDK runs on an Intel Mac running OS X Leopard only, then you can visit the Developer Forum for the SDK (which isn't supported with Windows) and for the 3.0 BETA, which is for IPhone and iPod Touch app development, which requires an Intel Mac running Leopard.

Apple Mobile Device Driver issues

First let me start that I have read dozens of pages on the various Apple sites which attempt to help fix this problem - some are just plain awful, some make no sense at all (disconnect cable, do x y and x, but no instruction ever to re-connect cables - well how is that going to fix anything). Anyway my primary machine is a Vista Ultimate (32 bit) laptop, with iTunes 10.0.1.22 and the library on a NAS device. I have several iPods, including a Touch and they all connect and synch easily with iTunes. Two days ago I received an iPad and connected to this machine and got the dreaded - load drivers, errors, followed by the Driver load failed messages. Spent 1+ hours trying all the advice to no affect. The Device Manager shows no indication of the Apple Mobile Device driver and only shows the iPad for a short time under Other Devices with an Exclamation point. No note of a Mass Storage device there or in Windows Explorer. I then connected the iPad to my Windows & machine and it immediately was recognized and sync'd with iTunes. This afternoon, I went thru the same aggravation with a brand new Shuffle. No dice on the Vista machine, immediate success on the Windows 7 machine. Isn't there a SIMPLE way to get the driver installed properly under Vista. Pointed the driver process to the C:/Program Files/Common Files/Apple/Mobile Device Support/Drivers and there is some action, I see the driver, but again some process kicks in and the whole device driver failure process starts again.
This whole process is giving me a bad taste for i_software. I consider myself a sophisticated computer user (IT professional with hands-on PC experience for 20 years).

I agree, but I have 2.5 years on this Vista machine and upgrading it to Win7 really means tossing it - not a bad idea; but next week I migrate my work PC (XP!!) - and I can only take 1 excedrine migrane a day!

Device driver issues

I'm having difficulties with my window computer saying that my iphone device driver was not installed properly. Any ideas besides what windows already told me to do.

Use Control Panel to uninstall iTunes. Then redownload
and re-install iTunes. This will repair/replace any problem
drivers. If the problem persists, there is a failure in your Windows
installation, and that is beyond the scope of this forum.

Device Driver/formatio for Solaris?

I pulled down a device driver for a GPIB instrument (HP 4145) It requires a library called "formatio". Is this a National Instruments lib and, if so, is this available for Solaris?
Thanks and regards,
John

John,
It looks like you may have downloaded the LabWindows/CVI version of this driver. I noticed that there is a contributed version of the driver for LabVIEW (which I assume is the development environment that you are using) for the HP 4145B. That one may work for you, but since it is contributed there won't be much I can do if it doesn't.
Hope this helps.

Device Driver Issue - Please help

Hello All,
We are currently using SCCM 2012 SP1 for OS Deployment and i have been working on a HP elitebook 820 G1 and probook 650 G1. Both build successfully but do not install any device drivers.
I have downloaded the driver package from HPs website, extracted all the drivers (inf,sys,cat) and put them into 'one' folder, i then created a driver package and imported the drivers into the package and category.
In the task sequence i have created a 'apply driver package task' with the wmi query for this model, i have also tried disabling the 'auto detect drivers' so that it doesn't look into the DB.
So far i haven't had any luck and have been working on this for over a week.
I have looked at the smsts log on the workstation after the build and there are no errors relating to drivers.
Any help will be appreciated

Honestly it sounds like something isn't right with the WMI query. Can you confirm that your WMI query is correct? Open a command prompt on one of the computer models you are having issues with. Run "wmic csproduct get name" which will report back the computer
model as seen by WMI. Confirm that your WMI query would be valid based on that name. WMI queries that I have used...
Most manufacturers:
SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE Model like "<model name from WMI>"
Lenovo:
SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystemProduct WHERE Version like "ThinkPad T510"

IPod nano 4th gen - Apple Mobile Device Driver issue

I have an iPod Touch that connects and syncs perfectly with iTunes but I can't find any way of doing the same with my wife's iPod Nano(4th gen).
Whenever I connect the nano it appears under Universal Serial Bus Controllers as Apple Mobile Device USB Driver but with the dreaded Yellow Exclamation mark.
I've tried:
The 5Rs
Different cables
Different ports
Disabling drivers
Uninstalling drivers
Removing all Apple software (in the correct order) and reinstalling
The only error message I get, other than the Exclamation Mark, is when I check the Driver Properties, it shows "This device cannot start. (Code 10)".
If I click on Properties, Driver and Update Driver, Install from specific location I see:
Apple iPod USB Driver Version 6.0.9999.40 (12/11/2008) and
Apple iPod USB Driver Version 6.0.9999.61 (11/05/2012) and
USB Mass Storage Device
Does anyone have any other suggestions as to what I can try?

The code 10 might be caused by old driver componentry "stuck" in the bowels of your OS. If that's what is going on, we might be able to get past this ... but I'm afraid it's a bit of a performance.
First, go into "My Computer". Go "Tools > Folder Options". Go to the view tab.
Make sure "Show hidden files and folders" is selected.
Make sure "Hide extensions for known filetypes" is unchecked.
Make sure "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in "My Computer", open "Local Disk C:" or whichever drive your Operating System is installed on.
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "system32" folder.
Open the "DRVSTORE" folder.
In there look to see if you have either of the following two folders:
netaapl_(LongStringOfNumbers)
usbaapl_(LongStringOfNumbers)
If you find either of them, drag them out onto the desktop. (Don't touch any other files or folders you see in there.)
Now go back into the "system32" directory.
Open the "Drivers" directory.
Look for either of the following two files:
netaapl.sys
usbaapl.sys
If you see either of them in there, drag them out onto the desktop. (Again, don't touch any other files or folders you see in there.)
Now restart the PC. Try a complete uninstall/reinstall of itunes and related components as per the following document:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
... and then try connecting the nano again. Any better luck this time?

Have you used the recovery disk or recovery partition to put the notebook back to 'out-of-the-box' condition? If the slowdown and crashing still happens right after you do this and before you add any other software or even connect to the 'Net, then it is a hardware problem requiring service.
If the problem resolves when you perform a recovery, then add your applications back until you find the culprit.

LSI Megaraid 9260/9261 driver issue on Solaris x86-64

We have several x4170 M2 machines with either the LSI 9260 or 9261 megaraid cards (same driver) where SUN uses the "SUNWmr_sas" driver, and you can download the latest driver from LSI website as "mr_sas". Using SUN Solaris 10 update 9 with latestl patches, x86 64-bit version .
Created two RAID arrays in the card BIOS (RAID1 using 2 disks and a RAID5 using 6 disks). Each disk is a 146GB 10k RPM SAS drive. The firmware on the card is the latest version from April 2011.
A copy from the RAID1 array to the RAID5 array yields a measly 5MB/s transfer speed. Tried both drivers with the same result. Tried all sorts of RAID array settings with no luck.
Installed Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS 64-bit version without touching the RAID array settings and the transfer speed jumped to over 100 MB/s (expected results).
Network copies to a single array and local copies within a single array perform as expected. Only the copy from one array to the other seems to be effected.
This leads me to believe the LSI driver for Solaris is at fault. Any thoughts? Anyone else noticing this poor performance?

Hi.
Read thread:
X4x70 (M1) with extremely slow disk I/O
Try workaround the problem by adding the following line to /etc/system and then reboot:
set idle_cpu_no_deep_c = 1

TS1398 I have the ipad retina display version - I have a BIG issue with this when out and about that on about 50% of the time will it see my HTC mobile WiFi hotspot - rebooting either, or both devices doesn't cure the problem it drives me MAD!!!!

I have the ipad retina display version - I have a BIG issue with this when out and about, that only about 50% of the time will it see my HTC mobile WiFi hotspot - rebooting either, or both devices doesn't cure the problem it drives me MAD!!!!
The HTC hotspot works fine with everything else I connect to it.
Also - ipad will not connect to my HTC via bluetooth. Again, I can connect to everything else with my HTC other than my ipad.
I have to say this is my first venture into Apple products and I have always wanted to get away from my windows based laptop to get a MacBook, the problems I have had (flash player etc) & continue to have (as above) are putting me right off swapping over. I HATE technology that doesn't work and my ipad has been hard work!

I stated my ipad as being an ipad2, but I now think it is a 3??? It was new Jan this year and is the 64gb retina display version.
I really would like to get to the bottom on this problem wit mobile hotspots as it is sitting on my desk next to me now and I cannot get it to connect to my HTC mobile hotspot!!!! It might be taking a flying lesson soon at this rate!!! Grrrrrrr...........
