Second IDE controller not seen, Blade 150

On our Blade 150, on the first IDE bus I have a hard drive and a DVD recorder. On the second IDE bus I have another hard drive. The second bus is not seen at all. If I do a stop-a, probe-scsi-all the drive on the second controller is not seen. If I swap the two hard drives I get the same results; drives on the first bus are seen, drives on the second bus are not seen. I have also tried a new cable. Do I need to enable the second IDE controller somehow? Am I overlooking something? My goal is to make this a multi-boot machine and use an alias to choose which drive to boot from.

Thank you for the tip, I gave this a shot. I took all the defaults up to the point where it asked if I wanted to rebuild the path_to_inst file, where I answered yes. Then it asked for the physical name of the root device, I took the default which looked correct. Then it gave me the same error as before, "/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s6 or /usr, no such file or directory" and the boot failed. I then rebooted again and it cannot find the path_to_inst file so aparently it did not get far enough to save the new file.
Just to clarify what I believe the problem is, here is my layout:
c0t0d0sX --> Solaris 9 install, boots and runs great, c0t2d0sX listed under both /dev/dsk and /dev/rdsk, c0t2d0sX will mount just fine when running Solaris 9 so the disk looks OK
c0t2d0sX --> Solaris 8 install, OS was installed when disk was in c0t0d0 location then the disk was moved to c0t2d0 (first disk, second IDE bus), now has problems booting, c0t2d0sX not listed under /dev/dsk or /dev/rdsk on this disk and I think this is the problem.

  • When I upgraded my Mac Pro HDs I lost the capcity for 2 monitors.  One monitor works fine but the second one is not "seen" by the Mac Pro.  Help?

    My MacPro is a dual quad core 2.8 intell processor system with 6 gig of RAM and 4 HDs.  I recently upgraded the HDs from 500 gig each to 2 TB each.  I did that by copying each existing hard drive to a new hard drive and then inserting the new hard drive where the copied drive had been.  I followed all of the instructions for the OX system that came after copying and replacing the drive with the OX on it.  Unfortunately now I can no longer use the 2 monitors that I used to use on the system.  One monitor works fine, the second on is not found by the OX system and simply won't respond or receive a signal from the computer.  Any ideas?

    Have you tried a NVRAM / PRAM reset?
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Ide 2 controller not detect

    hi, THIS IS NOT MSI PRODUCT,BUT  I NEED YOUR HELP ,AND IDEA  
    my intel SE440BX ide 2 cannot detect my cd-rom,and i try to read from windows(windows 98SE)device manager the secondary ide controller not detect,but at cMOS the both of ide was enable ,the CDROM is working ,pls help me.
    IF can't use ,do your know the configure the creative Sound blaster 16(CT2910)the IDE port,can your show the method

    does the cd-rom detect on bootup when you set the secondary master/slave to auto-detect?  
    When you say that the secondary ide not detect in windows, do you mean that you only get a primary ide controller?  Try going into the Main IDE controller properties (can't remember what it's called in 98), and make sure that both ide channels are enabled, this is done in device manager, it's in the same section as the primary/secondary ide controller's are.

  • Second IDE Raid controller

    I have  MSI K7T 266 Pro 2 RU board, onboard raid,  i want to install second raid controller card.  I cant get into a bios of second card.  Second card is CMD PCI - 0649 Ultra 100 Raid controller.
    If the a problems when running two raid controllers in one system?
    And how can i get into the bios of second raid card.
    P.S.  card is installed in Windows XP fine.  i can see two hard drives connected to it.  Right after raid bios on onboard raid it looks windows.

    Thanks for your help.
    It sounds like you are booting from the promise RAID controller.  If so, you are well familiar with the way in which it dominates the bootup process for the first 30 seconds or so.........(dots look familiar?...)
    I wonder if the second RAID card is also initiating its bios sequence at the same time underneath the Promise boot screen (underneath, so to speak) so that when the Promise routine is finished, so is the CMD routine, and you proceed from that point with both RAID controllers initialized (but can only see one of them at a time from the bios screen.)
    Do you you have "boot from other device" enabled in the bios?  If so you might try disabling that to see if it will sequence the RAID controllers initialization so that the CMD bios appears after the Promise bios is done (I assume you have the onboard Promise array selected as the boot device.)
    A bit more trouble would be to reboot to main bios,  disable the onboard RAID controller in the bios, save and reboot.  At this point the Promise bios will not display and you should see a CMD bios display which you could manipulate--then reenable the Promise controller to boot, etc.  If you disable the Promise controller and you still don't see a bios for the CMD RAID device you need to look elsewhere.  Also, it might be that the CMD bios access requires a certain key sequence pressed during post to display?....Just some random thoughts...

  • Additional PCI IDE controller does not work

    I have an on-board IDE controller but I have several disks. So I bought an additional PCI IDE controller. However, Solaris 10 does not recognize it and doesn't see any disks on it. (reports "driver not attached "for the device).
    Is there a way to make the external PCI controller work?

    Hi, I'm having a similar problem and hope there is a solution. In my case, I bought one of the "reported to work" IDE controllers - the adaptec ASH-1233.
    The board is not being recognized by Solaris. Running Nevada build 27a.
    I followed the directions that Juergen Keil posted, and the directions on bigadmin associated with the card. That includes adding a line to devicedb/master:
    pci1095,680 pci-ide msd pci ata.bef "Silicon Image 680 PATA Controller"
    Then touching /reconfigure and doing a reboot.
    The device is not found and reported in /var/adm/messages. It is shown by prtconv -pv though, with the matching identifier (pci1095,680).
    So the device exists but isn't found by Solaris Nevada b27a. Thanks for any advice...

  • (955X Platinum) IDE HDDs on VIA Controller not powering down

    Hello,
    I never had this problem on any motherboard that I've had. Currently, I have one SATA HDD connected to Intel ICH7R controller and two IDE HDDs connected to VIA IDE Controller (running in IDE mode). I have set Windows to power down the HDDs after 30 min. of inactivity (through the Screen Saver tab > Power button). SATA HDD does power down after the specified inactivity period. The two other IDE HDDs don't power down and are spinning all the time.
    I always keep my PC on and would like the HDDs to power down when I'm out (sometimes days on end). I have FTP and HTTP servers set up and can access my data remotely whenever I need to and hence do not want to turn off the PC when its not in use !
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    pck, the advantage of having your IDE HDD on ICH7's very own IDE because this IDE is channeled directly into the southbridge. However, the VIA RAID controller is sit on top of PCI bus, then only channeled back to the southbridge (ICH7). Somemore, PCI bus is a shared medium with other PCI devices. However, ICH7's very own IDE is dedicated.
    And of course, ICH7's very own IDE can support turn off HDD.
    and VIA's controller DOES support Optical drives.

  • TS140 Second HD (non-Lenovo) not seen until after boot

    I have a TS140 (70A4001MUX), which came with a 500 GB HD. I installed Win7Pro x64, replaced the 4GB RAM with 16 GB of Crucial RAM, and added a second HD (4 TB Western Digital Enterprise WD4000F9YZ). Both HDs are configured GPT, I am booting via UEFI, and the latest firmware (99A) is installed.
    This configuration mostly works, except that the second HD isn't visible until after booting. It does not appear in BIOS, which means I cannot boot from it. I have a boot partition on the second HD, cloned from my primary boot partition via Casper software. Normally, this provides me an alternative boot in case of drive failure or corruption on the first HD. But, on the TS140, attempting this alternative boot fails completely, as though the second drive were not there at all. Once I'm booted, though, I can read and write to the second HD all day long. Fwiw, all 16 GB of the new RAM does appear in BIOS.
    The second HD:
    Does NOT appear in BIOS.
    Does appear after boot to Windows 7.
    Does appear when booted from CD, such as WinPE and Paragon boot CD.
    Why won't BIOS recognize the second drive, that is clearly present and functional? Thanks for any thoughts and suggestions.

    Do you see the same behavior on a cold boot and a powered-up reboot?
    Since I'm not familiar with ThinkServers, I'm just tossing stuff at the wall here, but I wonder if the new drive is slow to initialize and BIOS is not waiting long enough to detect it.  Cold boot and reboot might behave differently in that case.  Not sure how to fix that if it is the problem, but it might help to narrow things down.
    [edit]  There is a hard disk pre-delay option in BIOS.  Not quite sure if it's intended for this situation (the one my WAG applies to) but might be worth a try.

  • Sun Blade 150 Hard Drive Support

    Hello,
    We are upgrading our Sun Blade 150 server. I was keen on knowing if it would support two separate 80 Gb hard-drives which effectively increase its capacity to 160.
    Thanks,
    Vijay

    Absolutely.
    Your ATA controller just does not happen to be 48-bit capable.
    Thus you're going to be limited to a nominal 137GB maximum usable space on any one IDE disk.

  • IDE Controller broken?

    Hey folks,
    I've posted before and had received very good advice, so I'd like to pick your brains one more time.
    I recently purchased a semi-working MDD 2003 model (I'm fairly sure.) with all stock parts and two third party ram sticks.
    The seller explained the problem in the e-mail he sent me:
    "The machine was working perfectly up until a few days ago after I had installed a 2nd hard drive for the purposes of recovering it's contents, and then removed that drive.
    The initial problem started with a kernel panic, and then ended up in the machine not being able to complete a boot (starts up ok but ends always in the Prohibit/Stop sign). I cannot boot from either the HD or the CD-Rom - I can however, boot the drive in Target Disk mode, and verified the HD is in good working order via Disk Warrior and Disk Utility.
    At this point, the HD is blown clean to attempt a force start from the system folder on the CD-Rom, but no luck.
    Apple thinks it is possibly a faulty IDE controller, or something that got reset incorrectly in terms of the bus chain."
    Now I'm pretty sure that I can bypass the logicboard IDE's with a PCI controller and just run the system like that, but that's only if it is faulty IDE controllers. If it's got something to do with the bus chain, well then I'm lost. Regardless, I attempted to start the system using an old hard drive of mine that already has OSX.
    The HD was placed in the rear sled first as a master drive, ribbon cable was double checked then system booted up. Well the grey screen and apple appear, along with the spinning cart wheel and this goes on for several minutes. Then the apple is replaced by the white circle with a bar through it, the "prohibit sign". So I then switched ribbons with the one in front, and got the same thing. This process was then done over using the front HD sled, still to no avail. I guess I could possibly avoid all of this by buying a PCI controller or just replacing the logicboard, but I'm trying to avoid those two options right now if possible.
    Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Can this even be resolved? I know there are posts about bad IDE controllers, but they really didn't help much. I did a search and ended up getting quotes from the same three or four posts, so I'm pretty much up for anything as this is getting beyond me.

    Actually I didn't use the HD that came with the
    computer, I replaced it with one of my own, which has
    OSX installed.
    Ah....that actually may be the source of the problem, depending on what machine your drive came from.
    Sometimes you can get away with it, as I did when I moved drives from a single 867 to a dual 1.42.
    But...
    It is possible your machines are too different, and the lower level things required to startup the system do not exist on the installation on your drive.
    At this point I think that getting a pci controller
    card to see if it works is easiest.
    If my preceeding statement is true, then it is likely that will not work, either.
    Thank you though.

  • Sun Blade 150

    Hi,
    I'm having a Sun Blade 150 Workstation (quite old one). I'm having IDE CDROM & one USB CDROM. I'm having Solaris 5.8 installed on it. Now I want to upgrade it to Solaris 5.9 9/05.
    First I tried to install it from the IDE CDROM by giving the command "boot cdrom" from OK prompt. It gave me error Can't find boot device.
    Then I tried to boot from my USB CDROM again I get the same error.
    I also tried combinations such as boot cdrom1/2 etc.
    My USB CDROM works perfectly in Solaris 8, when I insert the cd it mounts properly.
    What could be the problem while booting from USB CDROM?
    I do not have any SCSI card/port to install a SCSI CDROM.
    Any help would be great for me.
    Thanks,
    Pranay C. Tembhekar

    Hello,
    <i>However I wonder that USB CDROM support is not there.</i>
    To use a device without a loaded operating system, the OBP (aka "BIOS", firmware) of your system <u>must</u> know how to handle this device. Either the device is directly supported by the OBP (OBP includes the firmware) or the firmware is integrated on the add-in board (e.g. Sun framebuffers, SCSI hba) in a ROM.
    Attaching a USB keyboard/mouse to a non-USB system (with Mini-DIN connector) to an add-in USB adapter is possible, while the USB keyboard isn't functional at the OBP level, it works after loading the USB driver at the operating system level.
    According to the Release Notes Solaris 10 1/06 supports multiple keyboards/mice.

  • MacPro not seen in XP's "my network places"

    Hi,
    I have a small business network made of 6 macs (from G3 to MacPro, all with OSX 10.4.9) and 1 PC with XP Pro.
    All the Macs have Windows sharing enabled with WORKGROUP name.
    My problem is that I can see every Mac in PC's "my network places/workgroup" except one, the MacPro. It is not seen under WORKGROUP in other Macs but it is in "My network".
    It can see all the WORKGROUP members, PC included.
    I wonder if this can be due to its Intel processor (the only one in this network, excepted the PC) or if I missed something ?
    Any ideas ?
    Thank's for help.

  • 2 Lion Issues I have not seen addressed anywhere else.

    I hope someone can help me here. I have a couple of  problems with Lion that I have not seen mentioned anywhere. It's making me think that maybe I'm doing something wrong. Anyway here they are:
    1) Folder dates not accurate: This one has actually really caused me a lot of pain. I have 2 machines running Lion. One at work and one at home. I often carry files from one to the other using my USB flash drive. As I am updating a lot of files each day, I had come to rely on the folder modify date to make sure that I don't miss some small file. And as far as I know, I never missed a file... until I installed Lion. Since then, I have noticed, on both machines, that the folder dates do not always get updated when a file within the folders is updated. For instance, I have a database file which gets updated every day, but I have to remember to copy it to the backup because the folder date has not changed in over a week. I have no idea what makes it change, when it does.
    2) File transfers from Flash Drive unreliable: often when I am copying files FROM a USB drive TO my HDD (never happens in the opposite direction), the progress bar races along and finishes in a suspiciously quickly - (like in 1 second). To be honest, I've never checked at that point to see the status of the transfered files, but I know that it is impossible for them to have been transfered so quickly. I then drag and drop again. The second time it always progresses at a more expected pace and is always a successful transfer. It's never resulted in a problem for me, but it makes me feel a little insecure about the state of these transfers.
    (I am running 2011 imacs and using Lion 10.7.3)
    Thank you in advance for taking the time to ponder my issues.

    OK - got me. I have used Macs for an embarrasingly long time and I have to say, up until now I had no idea that the folder mod date relied upon the creation/introduction of new material into the folder.
    I have always relied on the modify date to help me sort out my files (when I am making changes to existing systems I often have a lot of copies of similar files/folders at different stages and for different media) -- it is difficult for me to believe that I never noticed that the directories did not get updated when existing files were updated... but hey - who knows... I'm doing a lot more, a lot quicker now. Perhaps I just had the time to be more careful before. Just goes to show you how great Macs are that someone can work as intimately as I do with them without knowing something that basic.
    I did test your info by transferring a file into that directory, and, as you said the modify date of the folder did change.... so you're definitely right, but somehow I feel that something else is going on here because I can't see how it explains what happened with the sudden change in the folder modification dates, this morning.
    At any rate, as you suggested, I will definitely have to modify my work habits.
    Thanks again, baltwo, for clearing up most of the mystery.

  • My iphone4 is not seen on itunes. When I plug the iphone the device does not recognize it but the pc recognizes it as a camera or something. What can I do?

    My Iphone is not seen on itunes when I plug it. I've tried everything that I found on the internet. but it still doesn't work, so I can't sync my iphone. What can I do? I have checked all the USB ports, I have desinstalled and installed again itunes, and I have run out of ideas.

    When you plug it it, it should recognize it as an Apple IPHONE under devices. It will then bring the Camera/Connection wizard for the photos on the device. When you plug into different USB, it should bring the hardware wizard and tell you what its installing, what happens?
    Under Device Manager, under Imaging Devices it will show up as Apple IPHONE. Is this being shown in your computer?

  • IDE drives not recognized by K8N Neo 2 Bios: Revisited

    I am truely reaching my wits end with this problem and I'm beginning to believe that I'm not alone in dealing with this issue. Let me recap.  After building my new system around the K8N Neo 2 m.b. and a AMD Athlon 64 3200 939, (Winchester) cpu I booted for the first time only to find that none of my hdds were recognized.  Optical drives yes but not my two Maxtor IDE drives. Initially no variation in configuration would get the board to recognize my hdds but then suddenly, for no apparent reason my hdds were recognized but try as I may I cannot install another hdd as a slave on IDE channel 1.  If I attempt this the master drive no longer is recognized.  An optical as slave yes but not a hdd.  Keep in mind I am no novice although this is the first MSI board I have purchased.  I have checked the cables, (all good), made certain that the jumpers were set correctly and have tested the drives in my other system and they are good to go.  I even flashed my bios in the hope that ultimately it would make a difference. Since I had a working system and nothing seemed to be helping I decided to let it rest for a week. However, this weekend while installing a program that required reboot I discovered that the system was slow and it turns out that one of my drives had disappeared to XP.  Rebooting, I discovered that the drive was not detected by the bios during the reboot,  that is until I turned off the system altogether and did a cold boot. It worked. 
    I would just write it off as a defective m.b. if it wasn't for the fact that it has continued to recognize optical drives in all configurations.  Can anyone offer any insight into this problem? This really makes no sense to me and I'm the type of person who wants to understand.

    How are your hard  drives if you have no opticals connected.
    HD are definately in IDE1 ??
    Makes no difference; with the opticals taken out no drives were detected.  Install the opticals on either channel without hdd's and they were detected.  Like I wrote, finally the board was able to detect hdds but put another hdd on the same channel and poof, neither were detected.  Neither channel appears able to accept more than 1 hdd period.  Right now I have 1 hdd, (boot drive) on channel 1 and a secondary hdd and an optical on channel 2.  It works but what disturbed me was the fact that during a reboot  this weekend my hdd on   the 2nd channel was not recognized and continued to be not recognized until I did a cold boot.  This situation makes my head ache    Bad IDE controller? Bad BIOS? Weird IDE cable problem? Bad PS?
