Solaris 10 format doesn't recongnise disk
System: Intel Dual Core Dual Xeon
Hard Disks: 2 external 70GB
c0t0d0 - Installed with Solaris 10 partitioned as s0 /, s1, swap and s2 overlap.
2nd disk - want to partition this as /export/home - Full 70GB.
However, with both disks inserted and booted into Solaris 10 from c0t0d0, running format command only picks up the current disk and not the 2nd one.
I've tried a touch /reconfigure and reboot.
Still not able to see the second disks?
Some things I could check in bios maybe or anyone know solution?
Can you give a little more detail when you say "it doesn't recognize the DVDROMs"? If you run the command "prtconf -v", does it list the devices? Any information from bootup in /var/adm/messages? Finally, what is the make and model of your DVDROM drive?

Can you please help me providing detailed pre-requesites/steps/procedure to implement this and to start boot from SAN.
2) How to SMI Label/Format a disk while OS Installation in Solaris 11.1?
As we know that ZFS is the default filesystem in Solaris 11.
We have seen in the Oracle documentation that for rpool below are recommended:
- A disk that is intended for a ZFS root pool must be created with an SMI label, not an EFI label.
- Create root pools with slices by using the s* identifier.
- ZFS applies an EFI label when you create a storage pool with whole disks.
- In general, you should create a disk slice with the bulk of disk space in slice 0.
I have seen the solution that using format -e, we change the labelling but all the data will be lost, whats the way to apply a SMI Label/Format on a rpool disks while OS Installation itself.
Please provide me the steps to SMI Label a disk while installaing Solaris 11.1 OS.Oracle recommends below things on rpool: (thats reason wanted to apply SMI Label)

I am having mac book air 2012model i had installed mavericks and use it, i long press command and power button at a same time and i saw the command prompt, from that i had formated the total hard disk. how to i want to install the OS again ?
i tryed with download mavericks but finally its saying a error message like cant conect to istore like that its saying and every thing is clear like internet and other stuf i tryed with 3times no progress same error pls help.. i bought this lap for my bro with his apple id only we use it now he got a new mac book pro so he gave to me so i formated and use it i use my apple id is that problem come because of changing apple id ? pls eplainFirstly, what is the source of the 10.6.4 disc? Is it the original installation disc for your MacBook, or one 'borrowed' from another computer?
It isn't the retail version, because that's 10.6.3.
Assuming it's the correct disc (i.e. the one that shipped with your Mac), you need to boot from it again.
OK the language page.
From the installer screen, ignore the continue button, go to the menu bar and choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
In DU, select your internal drive in the sidebar (the top item with the makers name and serial no.).
Run Repair Disk. If that comes up as disk OK, click the partition tab. Select the partiton from the drop-down above the graphic; 1 partiton is all you need.
Go to the options button and ensure that the partition scheme is GUID and the file system to Mac OS Extended (Journalled). Name the partiton (usually Macintosh HD), click Apply.
When the Macintosh HD volume appears below the drive name, quit DU and see if you can then install.
If the screen after the language screen doesn't show the menu bar, it may be necessary to use another Mac to do the job with the MB in Firewire Target Disc Mode. If it won't boot in TDM, or the MB doesn't have FireWire then it's getting very difficult. -
E450 disk installation - format does not see disk
We have an E450 with three disk controllers.
One with four drives and two RAID controllers with eight drives. Both RAID controllers are RAID5.
The four drive controller has two 9GB drives.
One RAID controller has eight 9GB drives.
The other RAID controller has eight 18GB drives.
We have three failed 18GB drives and are trying to install new drives, but the system does not see them.
We cannot get the system to recognize the new 18GB drives, even when we put them into the two open slots on the four-drive controller.
Probe-SCSI sees the new drives, but format does not.Hi cnhllc..
I was wondering what steps you took to resolve this issue?
We put in 8 hard disks and the Solaris OS (format command) recognizes only 6 hard disks. All 8 hard disks are seen when we issue probe-scsi-all, but only 6 are seen using format command. We are running Veritas VM & Cluster Server 3.5.
Any advice will be greatly greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Bold text formatting doesn't work on Android device
I've encountered AIR issue with text formatting. Bold formatting doesn't work on android device.
I've opened item in adobe bug system https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3638337 which describe the issue.
Currently I haven't received any helpful feedback from adobe bug system.
That's why I've desided to ask for support here.
Does somebody know some workaround for that issue?Hello Chris,
I was wondering if you can remind Adobe dev team about this issue.
AIR 4 is released already and it doesn't have the issue fixed.
This issue becomes painful for us because we can't update to new AIR versions.
Currently we stuck with AIR 3.6. AIR 3.6 has bugs on new Android operational systems.
But we can't migrate to new AIR4 because bold formatting used heavily by our application doesn't work.
Thank you,

Solaris 8 x86 doesn't ask for default route at install time
The Solaris 8 installation program doesn't ask what the machine's default route should be. This means that when you configure DNS servers later on that aren't on the same subnet as the machine you get error messages.
Anyone know a work around?Re: Solaris 8 x86 doesn't ask for default route at install time
I had the same problem.
I was wondering why something so essential is missing for the GUI Install, it would be possilbe a patch to correct this?, instead of configuring nsswitch, and another files.
The easier the install and admin, more users solaris will have on Intel Platform.
P.D. Sorry for my english.

I would like to format the external hard disk. I need to use it in Mac as well as in Windows. What format should I do, connect to Macbook Pro? MS-DOS (FAT) or ExFAT ?
success1975 wrote:
Thanks
1) In 'ExFAT' format, is there a limitation on the file size?
Not one that will matter.
2) Is 'MAC OS Extended' format, only for MAC computers?
Yes, only for Mac
3) What are those (a) journaled (b) Encrypted & (c) Case-sensitive? or when to use those?
Again, only for Mac. -
Can't format HDD with Leopard Disk Utility
I have two identical drives P/N: WD 7500AAK (Western Digital 750GB MyBook (USB)). I formatted one drive using 'Disk Utility' under Tiger with a Volume Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with no problem. I am now trying to format the other drive under Lepoard and the formatting fails 100% of the time. The drive will format to Fat16, but not to the desired Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Unfortunately I no longer have a computer with the Tiger OS. Any idea what is going wrong? The drive is useless if I can't format it.
Try partitioning the drive GUID before formatting it. This article explains how to format a drive for Time Machine. Once you have gotten rid of the Master Boot Record you should be able to reformat the drive the way you want.
One poster reported that zeroing out a Maxtor did not get rid of the Master Boot Record but I don't know if that would necessarily be true for a WD drive. -
Dual boot Solaris 9 and Solaris 10 on a SCSI hard disk
Hi,

Need to format the old ASM disks on solaris.10.
Hello Gurus,
we uninstalled the ASM on solaris, but while installing the ASM again it says that mount point already used by another instance, but there is no db and ASM running (this is the new server) so we need to use dd command or need to reformat the raw devices which already exists and used by the old ASM instance,here is the confusion...
there are 6 Luns presented to the this host for ASM,its not used by anyone...

so we need to know where the raw devices located for oracle to do the dd command to remove the old asm header on the raw device inorder to start the fresh installation
but when we use the command which already given by the unix person who is no longer works here now, we are able to see the following information

also we are having the information of the mkode, with minor and major number we used for making the softlinks for raw device with ASM.
Cd dev/oraasm/

/usr/sbin/mknod asm_ocrvote_01 c 118 192
But the final thing is we need find out where the above configuration located on the host, i think this raw device present method is different than the normal method on solaris??
please help me to proceed my installtion .... thanks in advance....
i am really confused with the following command from where we are getting the oracle disk raw devices information,since there is no info there in /etc/rdsk location (Os is solaris 10)

Mounting Solaris 8 formated disk to solaris10 X86
I had purchased a 1 TB SATA hard disk and used a special adaptor from Acard to plug it into my scsi bus on a Pinnacle Data System computer (Sun Clone) and succeeded in making 137 GB partitions (slices) and suceeded in using 959Gb which is probably all of the disk anyway. I then had to loan my adaptor to a friend. Unfortunately before I could get it back I had to fly to Germany from California for an emergency sw issue. I then went to Scotland and used a SATA to USB adaptor to plug the hard disk into my E250. I had no problem mounting all the partitions and filling them up. Now my problem (finally) is that I loaded a spare disk for my Lenova T60 with Solaris 10 X86. Why won't the system mount any of the partitions of the TB disk?
The system sees the device in the /dev/dsk directory but keeps telling me the device is already in use or the mount point is busy......I created the mount point. The system sees my 8GB corsair memory stick perfectly. I went into some other points and it seems the disk is an unknown format............what?
Anybody got any ideas, let me know,
Thanks, Mike
ps: Sorry I was so long windedHello Mike,
Solaris x86 and Solaris SPARC ufs aren't interchangeable due to big-endian and small-endian dependance.

ZFS filesystems are interchangable between x86/x64 and SPARC.

Solaris 10, Format and Mount 300GB and 36GB hard disk.
Hi,
I have some help to Install Solaris on x86, format and mount 300GB and 36GB hard disk.
I tried to install Sun Solaris 10 and FAILED to format.
I have an Intel�� Xeon��� Processor and a 300GB and 36GB hard disk.
I appreciate all the help!!!!!
-JohnHi Jon,
I saw something similar on SPARC when people used s2 (entire disk on non EFI disks) as ASM devices. The workaround we use is to create a new partition, and start it at cylinder 1. This protects the disk label from being overwritten by ASM.

How do I make NTFS format for partition in disk utility ?
Hi, how would I format a external hard drive partition to NTFS for windows ? There's no option in disk utility. Only MS-DOS ( FAT ) , ExFat, free space, Mac OS extended- journaled, Mac OS extended, journaled case sensitive.
The other partition would be mac os extended journaled . Does it have something to do with partition scheme ? I'm running mountain lion .anonymous4a wrote:
ok i wasn't clear,
That would have helped.
I want to make a backup of my windows partition and mac partition on my macbook pro retina on to ONE external hard drive.
Ok, so you have OS X and Windows in BootCamp on your Retina MBP.
You want to make a backup of both to one drive and this is what you should do.
Get another powered external drive slightly larger than your internal boot drive.
Use Disk Utility to format this external drive with a GUID partition table and two partitions each slightly larger than your MacintoshHD and BootCamp partitions
The first external partition formatted OS X extended journaled (MacintoshHD2) and the second one exFAT (WindowsBootcamp2) The OS X parittion is first at the top.
Download these two programs, Carbon Copy Cloner and Winclone 3.
Use CCC to clone the OS X MacintoshHD to the MacintoshHD2, and use Winclone 3 (runs in OS X) to backup Windows BootCamp to WindowsBootCamp2.
The OS X clone on the external drive is bootable if you hold the option key down while booting the computer.
The Winclone 3 partition on the external drive is not bootable, it's a backup only as Windows is copy protected and will invalidate itself if it ran.
Warnings:
Don't use CCC to clone BootCamp, it's not designed for that and won't restore to run Windows.
There is no software that can do both parittions at the same time and be bootable or restore properly to a different sized drive or restore the RecoveryHD partition. Some have tried with some other softwares and have problems with lost drive space.
Both partitions have to be cloned/backed up seperatly as there is some intelligence involved and the user needs the option to adjust partition space.
Also, backup your files in Windows (and OS X) to a regular external exFAT drive that was formatted on the oldest Windows machine your going to connect to, OS X doesn't do exFAT correctly so Windows can't read it. The exFAT partition using Winclone likely won't be readable by a Windows PC.
Most commonly used backup methods
.Drives, partitions, formatting w/Mac's + PC's
Again, you can't run Windows from a external drive, it's copy protected and takes the hardware id's into that, so it's essentially worthless to use NTFS on the external WindowsBootcamp2 partition.
All you need is a partition format that can handle over 4GB sized files, and exFAT is ideal and free to use. FAT32 can't handle 4GB+ files and is being phased out.
