Solaris 10 - "No Disks found"
I have a Sun Ultra 60, and I recently downloaded the four ISO images for Sun Solaris 10. The installation begins without problems, but after I select the installation media (CD/DVD), I get an error that says:
"No Disks found. Check to make sure disks are powered up."
I know the disk is powered and connected (I can hear it), OBP can see it, and when I type "probe-scsi," it returns my hard disk and cd-rom drive.
What should I be doing differently?
format keeps giving me
Segmentation Fault.
Format in Opensolaris sees the disk as a single partition, but returns seg.fault
The disk is formatted with ext2.
I tried making up a Sun Label partition (=the whole disk) with fdisk on a Linux, but the result with Opensolaris format is the same.
I tried
boot -s
fdisk <what device here???>
Does fdisk in Linux remove everything or is it that having formatted my disk with ext2 has destroyed the good Sun Label.
Is it possible to erase everything. What would format do then?
Why booting the flash-update on a cdrom and usb-key doesn't work? Why is that OBP-image twice the size of a floppy disk, so that I cannot use floppy to boot it?

"No Disk Found" error during installation of Solaris 10[11/06] on HP 6710b
Hallo Guys,
I am trying to install Solaris 10 on my HP 6710b lap top but it fails with "No Disk Found" error.
I used "Solaris 10 support tool" to check my system and it reports that my system is supported.
You can find the report bellow. I am sure that my disk is OK and I am also using "CD-ROM" option in BIOS for installing solaris from my Solaris DVD.
I have also updated the drivers using "CPQary3-1.71-solaris10-i386".
Please help me.
Thanks,
Qumar

No disk found error while install Solaris 8 intel on Compaq
I use the interactive installation method to install Solaris 8 02/02 intel platform on Compaq DL380 G2 with 4*36.4 GB harddrive and 2G memory. After I configue the network and time, an error message comes up: "No disk found. Check to make sure disks are cabled and powered up."
When I try the Web Start, it will jump the the shell prompt and say something like "No location for installation software ...."
Could anyone give me some clue? Thanks.Dir Mr. zhechang,
We had the same error with you, but we install Solaris 9 on the DL380 G3 Compaq machine. Could you please help me to solve the errors if uou the solution about it
Thanks and best regards,

No disks found. Solaris 10.
When i have tried install Solaris 10 on my laptop HP dv 6000 i have received this message "no disks found. chceck to make sure are cabled and powered up." what can i do? Maybe i should mount the disc? But i dont know how, i tried but i had a problem witch this, it is different than mount disk at Linux.
I was able to install Solaris 10 on a hp dv6000 as a dual boot system with Microsoft Vista. After installation I had two problems.
1) GRUB seems to have changed the Disk Signature in the MBR making Vista unbootable. See:
www.multibooters.co.uk/mbr.html.
I found a possible solution at: http://blogs.sun.com/moinakg/entry/vista_and_solaris_express_dual
but haven't tried it yet.
2)Installing the Patches hung the system and made Solaris 10 unbootable. I haven't tracked down which patch was responsible.

Solaris 10 installation gives error "No disk Found"
During the installation of Solaris 10 on dell XPS400, it gives error that says no Disk found:
I have already partitioned by disk in the following manner:
1st partition: 30 GB: NTFS (WIn XP installed)
2nd Partiion: 20 GB: NTFS (data)
3rd Partition: 25GB: RAW
is there any special setting that I need to do for Solaris to detect the hard disk.
Please help!I do not think you need a driver for the disk.
... you need to reconfigure your system with respect to the DISK CONTROLLER.
Solaris 10 "doesn't do Serial ATA very well".
Search the forum, keyword sata and then read and read and read.
I believe you need to reconfigure something in the PC's BIOS.
However, that may have an impact on how well your current install of WinXP works.
So, I suggest you just go get an additional disk, a conventional IDE drive (not a SATA disk),
and install to that new drive instead.
Then you choose whichever device you want as the boot drive each time you power it on.
... or just go get an older, used computer and dedicate it to operating systems other than Windows. Leave the Dell system alone.
Install... erase ... install something else ... erase ...

Installing Solaris 9 on HP ML350 G5 server - No disks found
Some weeks ago I've post a topic about problem with installing Solaris 10 on HP ML350 G5 server.
( [http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5308827] )
OK, it have been solved. Thanks!
But now I need to install Solaris 9 on this server. The problem is same - No disks found.
I can't find drivers for Smart Array e200i 128Mb v.1.66 (disk controller installed on ML350 G5) for Solaris 9.
Can you help me? Thanks in advance.Find a contact e-mail address on HP's website and ask them if the driver is available for Solaris 9.

Installing Solaris 10 on HP ML350 G5 server - No disks found
I get no disks found.
I cant find drivers for Smart Array e200i 128Mb v.1.66 (disk controller installed on ML350 G5) on HP site or anywhere else.
Has anyone had success in installing Solaris on ML350 G5 server?
Help me, please!Common problem. The HP storage controller driver, cpqary3, is not included in the Solaris 10 install media.
[Download it here|http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=1121486&swItem=MTX-2eef9b53d2194136a514218995&prodNameId=3288144&swEnvOID=2023&swLang=8&taskId=135&mode=4&idx=2]
One of the files included in the bundle is a .iso, which you'll need to burn to a CD. Then, when the installer gets to the first menu, select "Apply driver updates" and insert the cpqary3 CD. After the installer has loaded the drivers into the running kernel, pop the driver media out and re-insert the Solaris install media. Continue as normal. -

Error No disks Found during Solaris 10 installation
Hi,
i am trying to install Solaris 10 x86 on an Ml370 server that we bought. during the installation it gives the error No Disks Found. how can i correct this problem?One question:
Does this server ,ML370 G5, support Solaris in 64 bit mode?
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/systems/details/1891.html doesn't indicate if it is certified for 64 bits.
and http://h71028.www7.hp.com/enterprise/cache/493913-0-0-0-121.html indicates ony 32 bits. -
Solaris 10 "No disks found!" -- but disks are, indeed, there!
I am attempting to install Solaris 10 on an E450. I have 4 18G SCSI disks installed in the E450.
When I boot from the install cd (Solaris 10 Install Disk 1), it boots up just fine, and I go through the initial configuration menu (networking, name service, kerberos, etc.), and when it gets to "Configuring System", it stops at 4% with the error "No Disks Found! Please make sure your drives are properly cabled and powered up.".
Clicking "OK" drops me into a terminal window. Running format at this point show all the drives are, indeed, there. I have reformatted and repartitioned the drives, but all to no avail.
Any ideas? Any/all help is MOST appreciated!ALL
Found the answer!!!!
Seems that the Solaris installer doesnt understand EFI labels, and if (like me) you have been playing around with linux / freebsd ultrasparc ports, you may have inadvertently removed the backup partition (which spans the entire drive, 3rd partiton).
Without this format thinks its dealing with an EFI disk, and you can label it till the cows come home, the installer just doesnt want to know.
The answer is:
'format -e'
select the drive
'label'
select SMI
dont choose format.dat (unless it contains your drive .. unlikely)
choose SCSI 2 autodetect.
partition as per admin manual.
You may also have to do an 'installboot ...etc etc.."<br /><a href="http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-5093/6mkisoq39?a=view" target="_blank">http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-5093/6mkisoq39?a=view</a><br /><br />explains it<br /><br />I can now install Solaris 10<br /><br />The Sproggg<br /><br />PS:<br />I reckon that a brand new drive might need the same treatment....

I'm tring to install this on an IBM netfinity 5100 server which has ultra 160 scsi drives.I get this message
"No Disks that meet the citeria in the Solaris installer documentation found. Please check the system or try another installation option #"
Please help me. I new to UNIX and SOLARIS.Thanks!
VCYou are probably using the INSTALL CD that comes with Solaris x86.
Don't use it but use the Software CD 1/1 to boot and install the system instead. The INSTALL CD is supposed to be used on a completely blank system (no other OS's) although even there I think Software CD 1/1 does the job.
Also, if you are new to Solaris I advice you to get the FAQ (you can find it on e.g. http://www.science.uva.nl/pub/solaris/solaris2- it should be really helpfull during the first few weeks/months on Solaris -
Solaris 7 install 'no disk found'
Good day,
I'm trying to install Solaris 7 on a Sun Ultra5. However it gets part way through the install then it displays an error message "'no disks found' - please check that all disks are cabled and powered".
I have tried a couple of different disks and a variety of disk packs, (models 611, 711, 911).
There's probably an obvious reason but I have exhausted all ideas thus far, so I apologise if this problem is a little simple : )
TIATry these comments:
Are they Sun disks, if so, reformat and try install again
if not Sun disks, you need to go to the manufactures website to get the make up of the disk, ie, block, sectors etc then use the 'type' command within format to create the disk.
are the devices set to cable select?
have you tried new ide cables? -
Hi guyz,
I am trying to install Solaris 8 in a compaq machine. The installer started and proceeded until setting up of Time Zone. After that I got the following error:
No disk found. Check cable or connection.

AminDid you check that your compaq machine has a Solaris supported disk controller?
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/
Does the vendor (Compaq / HP) provide drivers for the disk controller, in case the standard stuff included
with Solaris doesn't support the disk controller? -
How to mount USB & CDROM drives from single user mode - Solaris boot disk?
Hi All,
I need to carry out ufsrestore on a single newly replaced system disk (no redundancy / mirroring) from either USB or CDROM drives from the following steps:
( i ) GRUB => e, e, cdrom –s, Enter, b (boot from Solaris 10 x86 media).
( ii ) Choose menu 1 for Install Solaris Interactive Mode to reach single user mode.Below are the commands that I have tried in single user mode without success:
mount –r –F pcfs /dev/dsk/c1t0d0p0 /cdrom (after unmount Solaris CD)
mount: /dev/dsk/c1t0d0p0 is not a DOS filesystem.
svcadm –v enable smserver
svcadm: Pattern ‘smserver’ doesn’t match any instances
svcadm enable autofs
svcadm: Pattern ‘autofs’ doesn’t match any instances
devfsadm
devfsadm: mkdir failed for /dev 0s1ed: Read-only file system
mkdir /mnt
mkdir: Failed to make directory “/mnt”; Read-only file systemPart of the problem is due to the current READ ONLY filesystems which does not allow the creation of mount point such as /mnt.
I have been able to create both / root (/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0) and /export/home (/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0) filesystems with newfs that are awaiting for restore using ufsrestore.
The only option I am left with is to attach a secondary disk to install Solaris 10 on either of them before bring the system to multi-user mode so that service such as volmgt, autofs, volfs are available to access USB & CDROM drives.
Any suggestion on how to resolve this issue?
Many thanks,
JackHi JKGN,
Is the directory a located under the root filesystem. ie /a? Are there any other mount point for say USB drive as well? I am not in a position to try it out right now but will get back
to you soon on whether /a exist or not.
Btw, the last thing I managed to do on this system at the time was added a secondary 1TB internal disk with the intention to restore both / and /export/home data onto this disk while
making use of all the disk device management services such as the following services only available in a fully installed Solaris system (both single & multi-user modes) installed on the
primary disk:
# svcs smserver

# svcs autofs

As a result, I am left with no option but the need to rebuild this system with only a single primary disk while in single user mode. However, the single user mode that I am in is the
one from Solaris installation disk with restrictive (_cannot create folder for mount point or running disk management utilities_) capability such as those services just covered, compared to one from a completed Solaris installation system with full access to all filesystems and utilities / commands in general.
I would very much value your assistance on how to mount both CD & USB in this restrictive limited Read Only OS (assume that it is running from memory) in order to get complete access to
the blank primary disk so that full restore with ufsrestore could take place.
Thanks in advance,
Jack
