Primary disk missing

I've been trying to install Solaris 9 on a HP Proliant ML370 G4 Server with a Smart Array 641 controller. Ever since I was not able to get further then to the point of the interactive part of the Solaris installation, where you should be able to select the source of the installation. I receive the error "Missing primary disk" I have done several approaches to solve this, here the list:
- Updated the System ROM http://h18000.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/locate/1088_5562.html
- Updated the Firmware of the Smart Array 641 Controller, version 2.48 http://h18004.www1.hp.com/support/files/storage/us/locate/1088_5559.html
- Updated the SCSI Disks from the latest fimware CD http://h18000.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/23331.html
- Downloaded and added the HP Driver for the smart Array 641 Controller http://h18000.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/21538.html
I booted with the smart start CD and set up a RAID1. Rebooted with the first Solaris 9 CD and added successfully the Smart Array controller 641 driver. After that I should be able to choose from what location I want to install solaris, this screen does not appear, instead I get the message "error missing primary disk".
I believe that I installed all the necessary/available drivers and firmware but yet I'm still no able to get that thing running.
Is there anybody who has had the same problem and found a solution to it? Help desperately appreciated!
Thanx Sfusfu

mebbe the lun got no label.
during the solaris installation when it reaches the xwindow part, you able to right+click to open a terminal window?
if you can try to do 'format' to see the os can understand the disk or not. like example
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c1t0d0 <SUN72G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 424>
/pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/sd@0,0
1. c1t1d0 <SUN72G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 424>
/pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/sd@1,0
Specify disk (enter its number): ^C^D
then try selecting the disk and see if it prompts you for a "label" for the hardisk and if so try labelling the disk.

Change Primary Disk. Now Bootcamp won't boot.

I had an original 1TB disk, partitioned for Bootcamp. All good.
Instaled a Thunderbolt conected SDD as primary disk. Left the 1TB With Bootcamp and added a new partition to clone the SDD.
Now it does not boot from Bootcamp neither VMWare recognizes the Bootcamp partition. Any thoughts?

Disk utility says "RAID STATUS: Disk missing"?

When I boot up OS 10.3.9 there is error message "detected volume OS X cannot read - initialize, ignore or eject" - then it dissappears and the system drive behaves normally. But in disk utitlity it says "RAID STATUS: Disk missing".
The disk is not partitioned and it will not let me repair permissions. Any ideas?

Disk Utility monitors the status of the disks in a RAID set. If you see a message indicating that a disk is missing or has failed, try these troubleshooting steps:
If you are using a striped RAID set, delete the damaged RAID set. Your data may be lost. Be sure to back up your RAID sets and other data regularly.
If you are using a mirrored RAID set, there may have been an error writing data to the disk. Click Rebuild in the RAID pane of Disk Utility.
If a problem persists, replace the damaged disk and click Rebuild to rebuild the RAID set.
Use the First Aid pane to repair the RAID disk, then check the RAID set to see if it still reports an error. If the problem is still present, quit and reopen Disk Utility, select the RAID disk, and click RAID. Check the RAID set to see if it still reports an error. You may need to restart your computer.

HP Pavilion DV6 Model: 3307sz Recovery Disk Missing

Hi
My notebook recovery disks are missing. How can i download the recovery disk?
Awaiting For Solution
Praveen

Uh....
Sorry but your model doesn't have reocvery disk to order yet.
What you could do is to use a backup software or the preinstalled microsoft backup tool to do a partition like C drive backup.
When your system fails, you could restore it without starting over with factory defult and all that stuff.
Sorry because of different timezone I might not be able to help/reply you right away.IF that happens I deeply apologize!

Macbook pro installation disks missing

I find that my installation disks are missing from my Early 2011 Macbook Pro 13 inch corei5 model box. I was able to reference it only after i saw the unboxing video on youtube, What are my options now

If it came with Lion pre-installed then there are no installation discs included. See:

OS 10.4.1 Start Up disk missing from desktop

Is it my imagination or do Macs these days have a proliferation of oddities occurring when you least expect it.
Anyway, my problem is that I booted up my Intel 2.66 dual this morning, it started up fine, system running, apps all there etc. But then I noticed the hard disk icon for my Start Up disk was missing from the desktop.
Its there, its mounted, its running the system, all my apps work but you can't see it to double click on it on the desktop and when you go into a finder window its not listed in the drives available.
Its mounted, its verified, its seemingly all okay but its just not visible on the desktop or in the finder window.
I can get to it by opening a finder window from one of the two other disks attached to the machine and then searching for something on that disk - ping - the file is returned in the finder window with the directory showing the Macintosh HD as its root. I can then select that in that finder window and it opens up the window for the disc.
Any clues as to why this might have happened and more importantly how I can get it back.
Cheers
James

Dale
Oh yeah - just updated it ! The 2.66 dual replaced my G5 Quad which died on me recently. I must say i've been pleased with it so far. I produce CGI work for architectural projects so speed is of the essence. Needs the ram though (possibly not the 8 gig I've got but that's so i can run four renering apps at once with 1.5 gig assigned to each - which incidentally works a treat). When i first got the machine it came with 1 Gig of ram and it was horribly slow, now it flies. Ideally I'd have got a 3 ghz machine but had to buy this off the shop floor in the local Apple dealer (Cardiff) and it was the only one they had.
So on balance I think its a pretty good machine. I've had a few glitches with it but that's down to early release UB software rather than the hardware.

Restore Disk Missing HP_P2PP_LOG File

I recently bought a dv7-4263cl laptop used. Most times I don't buy used, but at $200, I couldn't pass it up. The guy told me that his kids had crashed it, and deleted the recovery partition by mistake, trying to fix it, before they told him. But -- he said that he had all 6 of the recovery cd's, so I bought it. Tried to run the disk, but when it gets to the end, it says that the file HP_P2PP_LOG is missing. I can't make another set of disk, so what do I do, besides pay HP for a set. I have the file, (zip) but when I try to run it, it ask for a password. So -- I'm stuck. How do I get this file to my computer ?? Anyone have a clue about the needed password. I'm using it but can't use any of the HP programs. I did a custom install using my legit oem windows 7 disk, and downloaded some drivers, but can't get it to install my webcam program, media card reader program, etc. Can anyone help me ???

50% of Hard Disk Missing

I recently inheireted a Power PC G4 running OS 10.3.9 which seems to be missing a lot of disk space.
When I check the amount of hard disk space available by using "Get Info," my Mac tells me I should have nearly 19.08 GB in total capacity. However, when I add up all the disk space used up plus the total currently available, I seem to have only 11.58 GB.
So where has all my disk space gone?
Thanks,

System Preferences corrupt ! install disk missing

For some reason my System Preferences stopped working saying its corrupt or missing and having just moved i now realise i have lost my system install disks.
What can i do i cannot believe i left the disks have rang to people were i live and whatever was left was thrown out ! how stupid can you get to leave vital disks behind.

Ok this is what happened i had been using a USB CF card reader HY-01001 no problem yesterday i had company and the llid was closed and i will still online. I took the card reader out when i turn it back on i got a security message about startup and a file called pace--something ! i took no notice really. Then i tried the card reader and that no longer works i know i never installed any software for it in the first place. I rebooted a few time but every time i got the message saying cant start up system preferences so i tried to start from the application folder but it was report not working, so i went to the directory and deleted it (after all its only an app) there was something above it called pacexxx (cant remember full name) so i deleted that. I have had this happen once before but reinstalled from my disks. Then i realised that i have lost the two disks. I had to move in a bit of a hurry and yes i forgot to pack the disks yes its my problem.
Now the Macbook 6.1 (late 2009 the serial trace says) is running the card reader will still not work yet my internet dongle works so the USB seems ok and i cannot find a download for the app system preferences. I have no idea if the Macbook as screwed the card reader up or somehow blanked card readers. sorry rambling on a bit
Apple, well to be honest i could not see why i could not find a download for the system preferences app as it seems to have problems. Its not just Apple but every company seems to use high cost phone lines and you get through to a computer designed to get as much time and money out of you as possible. Having said that i love my Macbook and iPhone so love Apple products i never registered the Macbook but signed up with Apple using the serial number so its my original bought and paid for Macbook 6.1.
Sorry once again about rabbling any advice
Why the card reader no longer works .
Can i make it work again ?
Can i find a download for the missing app ?

Problems reformatting MacBook Pro recovery disk missing

Hacing problems reformatting MacBook pro. Tried startup with option key but recovery disk option missing. Then tried the Mac os x disc that came with the MacBook Pro however when I get to the selection of where I want to install no HD option appears. Start up disk also appears to be missing. Can only start Mac in safe mode.

Remind them at this time you don't desire a service account, just desire a disc. The only reason you would want an account is if you wanted them to help you with actual troubleshooting.

Windows Experience Score - Primary Disk Low...

Hey Gang,
My i7 rig runs just grand for editing, no complaints. I peeked at the WE score and I got 7.3 or better in all categories except Primary Hard Drive (screenshot attached). I'm not looking to fix it (it ain't broke!) but I'm curious why Windows hates my hard drive. My guess is because I'm not running RAID for my OS disk. I'm running a 300GB Raptor, and all I have installed is Win 7 64bit, Production Premium CS4 and some plugins, and NeoScene. MS Office does NOT reside on this PC! It's got 219GB of 279GB free, so it's fairly lean, and I defrag regularly with O&O Defrag. Anyway, my guess is that 5.9 is tops for a single disk... am I pretty much on about that?
Paulie
(for the curious, I do run assets off of another disk, project files on another, and a third for scratch disks and miscellaneous junk... everything is 7200RPM Caviar Black except for the junk drive, I went cheap with a 7200 WD Blue. If it dies, no problem. Anyway, I have no RAID subsystems yet, but that wouldn't affect Primary HD score anyhow)

Shrinking and moving that page file is the task for tonight! Thanks for noticing my hard drive space and saying something, that default Hiberfil file would have sat there unnoticed... Microsoft defaults are aggravating at times. And I've been wondering about the best way to configure the swap file when you have 12GB of ram, but just haven't had time to pursue it. If 8GB on a separate drive works for you, that works for me!
Thanks.
Paulie
PS: Hey, I'm still running my i7 920 stock (and my 1600mhz ram too, which defaults at 1066)... I suppose if I OC things up a bit it'll be even sweeter...

Thanks for your input. The volume has been repaired successfully. How did this happen.
I don't know.
Is it software related.
this is very hard to say. it could be software related but it could be hardware related too.
How can I stop it happening again.
you can't really. verify your hard drive periodically. if this keeps happening you'll need to reformat the drive. if it keeps happening after that it's likely hardware related and you should replace the drive.
This has never happened on any of my other macs. Not on the G4 ibook I am using now nor the imacs I have had!
Thanks again
