Sol 10 X86 with Qlogic 1280 controller

Sol 10 X86 installation problem: System has two internal disks, 1 quantum SCSI 6 gb, which was UNconnected. One Seagate 18 GB SCSI from Qlogic 1280 controller with Sol 9 installed. Disconnected Seagate to play with the old Quantum drive. Problem was the Qlogic controller driver. Installation failed after numerous attempts. I finally decided to install Sol 9 on Quantum and try an upgrade. Sol 9 succeeded but 10 failed, still due to the 1280 driver, which is downloaded from Qlogic and installed to a diskette with dd. Tried downloading the driver again to see if there was an upgrade. The product is discontinued. The driver is for up to Sol 9.
Finally gave up and decided to make the Quantum drive non bootable and try to incorporate it into the Sol 9 installation on the Seagate disk with DiskSuite. Ran fdisk and deleted the boot partition on the Quantum. Reconnected Seagate drive and booted with both drives powered up. System failed to boot at all. Now my primary drive is trashed somehow. I went through another Sol 9 installation on Seagate, using the preserve data option. Still wouldn't boot as of last night. Gotta love this.

  • 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.

  • Booting from alternate disk in Sol 10 x86 1/06

    Hey all--
    I'm trying to set up a mirrored root filesystem on an x86 box with two IDE disks. It's running solaris 10 1/06. I've done this plenty of times on sparc boxes, but only once on an x86 box and after the metaroot, I had to edit bootenv.rc to point back to the "first" disk to get it to boot. That was with an older Solaris 10 release.
    I'm reading what I think is conflicting information from the SVM doc in the Solaris 10 book at docs.sun.com, various blog entries ( like this one from Mr Jelinek -- http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/jerrysblog?entry=solaris_volume_manager_x86_root ) and I'm confused now.
    My main question is, do I need to manually put bootblocks on the second drive? My disks appear to have identical x86 partitioning as well as Solaris partitioning, and don't contain the now-deprecated x86 boot partition.
    Page 126 of the current (12/05) SVM manual says:
    You must specify slice 2 of the disk as the device, and slice 2 must comprise the
    entire disk.
    # installboot /usr/platform/i86pc/lib/fs/ufs/pboot \
    /usr/platform/i86pc/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s2but.. pboot appears to be missing in the latest Solaris 10 release.
    So does anyone know what the current situation is? Do you need to put bootblocks on the second disk in the latest Solaris 10? And if so, how? :) thanks!

    bad 12/05 SVM manual..bad! :)
    If I had done the RTFM thing like one is supposed to, I would have seen this bit of information:
    # man installboot
         The installboot utility is a SPARC only program. It  is  not
         supported   on   the    architecture.    users   should  use
         installgrub(1M) instead.I assume "the architecture" here could be better written as "the x86 architecture" :)
    and of course, this makes sense, since the Sol 10 x86 1/06 release clearly boots with GRUB. I suppose I should also get my learn on for the other binaries:
    # man -k grub
    bootadm         bootadm (1m)    - manage bootability of GRUB-enabled operating system
    grub            grub (5)        - GRand Unified Bootloader software on Solaris
    installgrub     installgrub (1m)    - install GRUB in a disk partition or a floppyI'll confirm boot-ability later today when I take the machine into the lab. But I think I'm on the right track.
    This is a great forum and I've learned a lot by reading it. many thanks to all the posters!

  • Sol 10 x86 not recognizing hard disk

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Sol 10 x86 V 6/06 on a HP DL585. I am installing from a CD. When it is time to install the software , I get an error, found no disks . These are 72Gb disks. The hardware is supported under hcl. Are there any extra drivers I need for the install cd to recognize

    Either the HDD is dead or the connection cable is faulty.  Take out the HDD and place it in an enclosure and connect it to the MBP via USB.  The start the MBP with the OPTION key held down.  If the external HDD is recognized, click on it and se if it boots the MBP.  If it does, then it is the cable that is the problem.  Otherwise the problem lies with the HDD.
    Ciao.

  • StorEge A1000 + PC (with Mylex960 Raid Controller)

    PC = PIII / 800EB / 256MB / 20GB
    Raid card = Mylex DAC960
    StorEdge = A1000 with 3 x 18Gb drives loaded.
    Wehn Mylex scans for a new scsi device, Storedge A1000 can't be traced/probed. I tried this with HP scsi box and were able to probe the external devices but for Sun Storedge A1000 it was not successfull.
    Any advise on how I can probe/trace this external device (Storedge A1000).
    I am planning also to install solaris 10 (x86) and hopefully Solaris could detect the external storage (series of drives) at the application level. (cross finger)
    For your advise Gurus.
    Petalio

    Can you describe the features and specifications of that SCSI card ?
    The A1000 array has a High-Voltage-Differential interface.
    (See its link in the Sun System Handbook)
    HVD is not common in the PeeCee universe.
    The array already has a RAID controller in its chassis,
    and will not work with a RAID controller SCSI card.
    Any attempts to use a LVD card or a S/E card will just not work, either.
    It would be invisible to the SCSI chain.
    ... then, additionally, you're going to need some sort of RAID control software
    to administer the A1000 and its internal RAID controller.
    if you do eventually get a compatible HBA, you also need to be aware
    that functional support for the array was specifically dropped from Solaris 10.
    You'd need to run Sol8 or Sol9 with RM6 software, and I cannot remember
    whether RM6 was ever ported to x86 Solaris.
    I fear you're just going to be out of luck,
    and may need to get rid of the array (e.g. Ebay ?).

  • Error while binding the model with the custom controller

    Hi All,
    I first started with a dummy project and in that binded the model with the custom controller.
    For some reason, I deleted the project and created a new one. I have deleted the whole project from the workspace.
    Now, when I am trying to bind the model  again , I am getting an error when selecting the response parameters saying that DUPICATE ENTRIES.Ideally it should not happen when I am deleting it completely.
    I am using a Webservice Model. Can any one help me out to resolve the same.
    Looking forward for your response.
    Regards
    Dipendra

    Hi Raman,
    I did that and even I have Installed the IDE again.
    Still I have that error.

  • How to restrict users working on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2

    Dear All,
    We are having an infrastructure setup of around 500 client computers managed through group policy.
    Recently the domain controllers have been migrated from Windows Server 2003 to Server 2008 R2.
    Since this account requires extremely strict environment, we need to figure the solution for restricting the users from access anything locally.
    It would be great if you can assist me with the following query.
    How to restrict users logged on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and browsing other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2 ?
    Can we disable Network Tab on the left hand pane ?

    You cannot block explorer.exe when you do not replace the shell - the
    desktop you see effectively IS explorer.exe...
    Your requirement sounds like you need a custom shell:

  • Why has QLOGIC 1280 been removed from Kernel 2.6.6 & 2.6

    Hi folks,
    I upgraded to the latest 2.6-scsi kernel and all of a sudden, no boot. After looking at the .config it appears that the qlogic-1280 support has been taken out. Now I understand that I can also recompile the kernel but is where could I have read about these changes before applying the package?
    Thanks
    Bruce

    theoretically you should be able to find such info in the cvs "changelog" for this kernel. i usually use the web interface for the cvs as you can use the colour coded diff features.

  • Solaris x86 with Oracle RAC 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0

    2. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/logs

    18. RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;
    19. RMAN> exit
    I need to configure incremental backup with RMAN on a two node Solaris x86 with Oracle RAC 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 installation.
    We also use ASM to store database files, and have Oracle software installed on separate file systems (two Oracle roots for Node1 and Node2).
    I have following questions:
    1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
    I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
    2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
    3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
    Below is the script used to run RMAN on the normal Oracle database (without RAC) which I need to change :
    =============================================================================================
    2.0 Oracle backup script: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh
    Use this for daily backups, possiblly as a cron job.
    Once a week run this: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh FULL
    All other days of the week: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh INCREMENTAL
    Note: You may have to change ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_BASE below to match your database.
    =============================================================================================
    #!/usr/bin/ksh
    ORACLE_SID=orcl
    ORACLE_BASE=/opt/app/oracle

    delete noprompt obsolete;
    exit;
    eof
    echo ''
    fi

    Hi [email protected],
    Q1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
    A1) With RAC: on the shared storage
    I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
    If you want your backups to be available for both nodes you have to use shared storage or tape using an mml library.
    So if you want to use the FRA for rman backups and the database is on ASM just make ASM the standard for the FRA as well.
    Q2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
    A2) Than you cannot recover in case Node1 is down. Best would be to send your storage admin to a training course so he can manage the clustered raw devices needed for ASM.
    Q3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
    A3) No see A2.
    Regards,
    Tycho

  • RT Host VI does not communicate with FPGA VI with PID Discrete controller

    Hi. I am using LV 7.1 RT with PXI 7831R. While developing an application with a PID controller in the FPGA vi, I have run into the following problem:
    1.   After a successful FPGA compile, the code runs directly on the FPGA device and the PID controller works fine.
    2. After I switch to the RT and run the host vi, it shows no activity from the FPGA vi. I look at the while loop count of the FPGA (indicator named 'FPGA-count' in the snaps below)) and it shows 'zero'. I have refreshed the FPGA vi reference but to no avail.
    3. If i take out the PID related stuff from the FPGA vi, then the Host vi to FPGA communication works.
    I have attached snaps of a simplified version of the fpga and RT vi's. If anyone can help, that would be greatly appreciated.
    I also read that the PID control toolkit needs to be installed. It is installed on the host computer and shows in Automation explorer under LV 7.1. Does it need to be installed on the remote machine that is the RT controller as well. if so, then how to do that.
    Thanks

    It seems like the FPGA is not running for some reason when you are running the RT VI. Without having the actual VIs to look at I can only make a few guesses why.
    On the Open FPGA VI Reference make sure the option is set to Open and Run, not just Open. Right click on the node to check this option.
    On the RT VI, make sure that stop-FPGA is False before you start.
    On the FPGA VI, make sure that the default value for stop-FPGA is set to False.
    In the RT VI check the error cluster passed to the loop to make sure that there are not errors and the FPGA VI is actually running.
    If you are using the PID function on the FPGA, you do not need any additional SW installed on the RT controller. If you are using the PID function in LV RT then you do need to install the PID toolkit on the RT controller. This is done from MAX (Measurement and Automation Explorer) using the Install Software option for the controller.

  • [Forum FAQ] How to sync time with a Domain Controller for a standalone server

    As we all known, if a computer belongs to an Active Directory domain, it will sync the time automatically by using the Windows Time service that is available on Domain Controllers.
    While a standalone server will synchronize with its local hardware time and Windows time server. (Figure 1)
    Figure 1.
    Under some circumstances, a standalone server is necessary in a product environment. We can sync the time of this standalone server with the Domain Controller using
    the steps below:
    1. Modified the value of the AnnounceFlags:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config
    Under this entry we can see the default value of AnnounceFlags is 10 (Decimal), we configure the value as 5 (Decimal). (Figure 2)
    Figure 2.
    2. Confirm the value of the registry key below is set to 0:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpServer 
    Figure 3.
    3. Configure the standalone server to synchronize with a specific time source (Domain Controller).
    In our test, we configured our Domain Controller (192.168.10.200) as the time source. Used the following commands:
    w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:192.168.10.200
    4. Sync the time with the Domain Controller using the command below:
    w32tm /config /update
    From the figure below (Figure 4), you can see the after we did all the steps above, the time on the standalone server was synced with the Domain Controller.
    Figure 4.
    (Note: Peerlist is a separated list of DNS servers, or IP Addresses for the time servers)

    Thank you for the instruction! I am sure it is one of the scenarios that majority of administrators will run into. So I suggest to write a wiki about it and publish it for this month's TechNet Guru in Windows Server section. This month's TechNet Guru can

  • TCP/IP Connecting with Real Time Controller

    I have a host running Labview on a windows XP and a realtime embedded controller on a pxi chassis that acts as the server.  When the realtime is started it automatically goes into listen mode and listens for a connection from the host.  The host opens a connection.  After a valid connection is open the Real-Time side goes into a TCP_Read and the host can then send commands that the real time processes and sends to the FPGA on the pxi-chassis. 
    Now the problem I'm having is how to handle the case when a TCP connection is lost.  I can have the TCP_Read on the real-time error on a time out and then go into a listen mode but this isn't very logical because then the host will have to reconnect each time a time out occurs.  So if I make the TCP_Read timeout be infinite and if the connection is lost (let's say I unplug the ethernet cable and re-plug it back in) then I cannot recover from this and the Real-time will need to be re-booted.
    I've tried to send the Real-time into listen mode if the error code is other than a timeout error (code 56) and have it go back to TCP_read mode if it is a timeout error.  But if the connection is lost by means of a physical way (such as me pulling the ethernet wire and plugging it back in) then the Real-Time never sees that the connection is invalid.  The host on the other hand can detect it bc it will get an error when it's trying to write?
    So my is:
    Is there any way to prevent an infinite loop that needs a reboot and at the same time prevent the host from reconnecting every time there is a timeout?

    Hi SJeane,
    I apologize for taking so long to respond, but I wanted to test this on my end.  In doing so, I realized that using the RT Reboot Controller.vi after the connection is lost does not work because the message to reboot cannot be relayed to the target without communication!  Thus, to solve this problem, we have to approach it a different way.  You mentioned that you tried programmatically clearing errors, but did you try to reestablish connection after clearing the errors?  I tested this on my end with a FieldPoint controller, and the attached VIs resumed operation even after unplugging/replugging the Ethernet cable (no reboot).  Will this solution work for you?

  • Can Photoshop shortcuts be configured to be used with a PlayStation controller?

    A Japanese guy has claimed@ in this video (簡単な漫画の描き方(2)【木星在住】 - YouTube 0:51->0:59) that Photoshop shortcuts can be configured to be used with a PlayStation controller. Can they?

    Thanks John.
    I suspect that may be the best answer I am likely to get but have not marked the question as answered just in case someone else can add anything.
    Your suggestion does work. I changed JPEG, TIFF and PSD to Photoshop CS3.
    The only (quite major) snag is that if I am using Elements and double-click a photo, it opens Photoshop CS3.
    This wouldn't matter if I was just using PS exclusively but I also want to use PSE at times.
    Looks as though I had better just leave them with their own versions of  Bridge.
