[Sol 10 11/06 SPARC on Sun Blade 2500] Could not determine boot disk?

dear all,
I have a problem during installation of Solaris 10 11/06 Sparc on Sun Blade 2500. After I choosing "Initial Install" at "Select Upgrade or Initial Install" stage, appears the following error message :
"Note : Default install is not possible. Default boot disk could not be determined"
I have already concerned that the installation DVD is well burned, and the DVD-ROM is worked, but I'm not sure that the HD itself is well or defect. Could anyone tell me or figure out how would I do?

Most likely you have a disk problem. I think it may not have found a disk. If the install process left you in a shell, I would suggest using format, to see what it thinks. My guess it does not see any disks.
Another option from the ok prompt (also called OBP), is run probe-scsi or whatever the device type it. Check the options available at the ok prompt.

  • Serial management view in sun blade 2500

    Hi friends,
    Please help me out to solve the following problem i have sun blade 2500. I want to view the full POST test in hyperterminal screen of windows. I tried connecting the cables to establish connction to view. But i didn't able to see the POST in hyperterminal screen . It is blank while i start the sun blade2500.I used the 25 pin to 9 pin cable and also ethernet type to 9 pin cable
    what should i do

    Hello,
    make sure that
    - this is a null-modem cable
    - you use serial A (console port) of the Blade 2500
    - the parameters on your Windows PC are 9600/8/N/1
    If you remove the keyboard from the Blade 2500, input/output is forced to the serial console.

  • Dual Layer DVD reader for Sun Blade 2500?

    Can anyone recommend a dual layer DVD reader that will work with the Sun Blade 2500 (Silver)? Either something to replace the built-in single layer reader or something that will work externally either via firewire or USB.
    Thanks!

    I haven't had occasion to use a dual-layer drive yet, but I've found that all the external and internal Sony drives I've ever happened to plug into my old 1500 worked great...

  • Problem with a DDI Device driver for Solaris 8 and 9 on a Sun-Blade-1500

    The problem has to do with dma allocated memory and the little-endian format.
    When I copy blocks bigger than 256 bytes to the dma memory, using a uiomove() or bcopy(), the data after the first 32 bytes is swapped around over 8 bytes.
    The bcopy from a driver (stack) buffer into the dma virtual memory has the same affect.
    So it has to do with the kernel dma allocated memory and the endianess.
    When I set the byte order to big-endian inside the ddi_device_acc_attr the data seems to be alright, also with bigger transfer sizes.
    My device however needs the little-endian format.
    I have the same the same device driver running without any errors on a Sun Blade-150 Solaris 8 for a long time now.
    Can somebody please advise me?

    PCI Memory card.
    Problem: When driver moves more then 40 bytes via PIO from a PCI device memory card, the long words are swapped starting at 40 byte transfer size and greater.
    device memory description:

    DDI_DEVICE_ATTR_V0, /* Boilerplate value */

    The user application does a read call, which goes to xxread. xxread calls physio( xxstrategy, bp, dev, B_READ, xxminphys, uio );
    In xxstrategy the transfer is done using

    A read of 40 bytes returns:

    Why are the long words swapped starting at 40 byte transfer size and greater?

  • How to remove firefox 2 from solaris 10 sparc (Sun Blade 100)

    I need to remove firefox 2 from a Sun Blade 100 running Solaris 10 ( s10s_u4wos_12b sparc ).
    Mistakenly I installed firefox 3.6.14 unaware I had firefox 2 installed on the system.
    Currently, firefox 3.6.14 crashes constantly (completely unstable) and adjustments to PATH variable do not seem to hold.
    May I get help in removing both firefox 2 and firefox 3.6.14 and then a re-install of firefox 3.6.14?
    Location of firefox 2 is /usr/bin/firefox
    Location of firefox 3.6.14 is /opr/firefox
    In advance, thanks for the help.

    My guess is that you have already completed this upgrade, but in the event that you haven't I recommend that you use NFS to either mount a DVD from another server or else copy the OS DVD to a local drive on a server that has a DVD drive and then NFS mount the file system on the server you are trying to upgrade. I use NFS fairly often for upgrades and for patching. I have one server that has a file system that contains the source code from the installation DVD and another file system that contains the most current patch cluster.

  • How to install Linux on Sun Blade 2000

    hi,all.
    There is a sun blade 2000 workstation in our lab.And my teacher ask me to install a Linux OS instead of the Solaris8 which is preinstalled in this machine.This thing is very difficult to me,for I am not only a new to Linux,but also a totally freshman to Sun OS and its Hardware.
    I have only installed a Fedora 11 in my x86 machine.But i dont know how the sparc architecture working and how to start my installation,even include how and where to boot from installation CD.
    Please tell me what the step of installation and how to do.Furthemore,please recommend a Linux distribution suitable for the blade 2000.
    Thank you very much.

    If you never ever worked with Linux then Debian is not really the OS you want to choice first, don't get me wrong its very good, but i think Ubuntu which is based on it is more user friendly
    Ubuntu has also a Sparc version and a forum for Sun Sparc users.
    http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=146
    some issues related to the type of server you have : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=588088
    Then you have also the question if you want to install the server edition or the desktop version?
    for example dapper server is available here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/dapper/daily/current/dapper-server-sparc.iso

    We have received some Sun blade 100, with smartcard reader.
    Does someone know how to program this reader ? I have found
    include files in /usr/include name samrtcard.h and a directory
    with the same name, but source code is a little bit fuzzy for me.
    Someone has some example of hox to use this reader ?
    Thank you

  • 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.

  • Connecting HDTV to SUN BLADE 150

    I have a SUN Blade 150 workstation with the onboard video (PGX64)....can I connect this to my HDTV. Both have a standard VGA connector....but not sure about the resolution. According to SUN's documentation 1920X1080 is supported, but is says the standard is SUN....does this make a difference. So will and HDTV work with the SUN Blade 150?

    I would expect the PGX64 to work with this display. To see the resolutions that the card and monitor it is connected to are capable of, run the following commands:
    /usr/sbin/fbconfig -prconf
    /usr/sbin/fbconfig -res \?
