Solaris 2.6 i386 on HP NetServer E800 - problem in detecting SCSI disk

Hi people,
We have HP Netserver E800 with a 9G scsi drive attached to U2W onboard SCSI Controller.
Solaris 2.6 boot disk doesn't seem to detect the 9G drive, we assume the problem is the scsi controller did not get detected at all. I found an article that explains how to get a hard drive that is > 8Gb...but our problem is the solaris cannot see the disk drive at all.
Our current assumption is due to limitation of solaris 2.6 i386.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Asgorath,
Unfortunately I do not have an answer for you but I
am experiencing the identical problem on a HP
Proliant BL25p Blade Server. Here is my hardware
config:
CPU - Dual Opteron 2.6 Single Core
Memory - 16gb
Controller - HP Smart Array 6i
Logical drives - 1 (2x72gb RAID1+0)
I have tried the same things as you and I still get
intermittant boots. Power on and off does not always
work as the system still hangs. It's totally hit or
miss. Once it soes boot it seems to work fine. I have
also installed the latest Solaris 10 for x86 Patch
Cluster in hopes that some of the kernal patches
would fix the problem. So far no luck as the system
continues to hang...HARD!! HP was out to my site
today and the Eng. is going back to the group that
qualified Solaris10 on the HP Blades and see if they
have any input. If I receive anything back I will
post it here. I know this post is late and if you
have resolved please post your fix.Hi doc42755,
I have not come up with a solution as of yet, if I do come up with a solution i will most certainly post it here.
However, if you find the solution could you let us know in this thread aswell.
Thanks

Solaris 8 on Intel STL2 server board - installation problem

Hi,
I try to install Solaris 8 (4/01) on Intel STL2 server board (P III 866 MHz, SDRAM 512 ECC Reg, Adaptec AIC7899 Dual Channel-one Ultra160/LVD channel, Intel PRO/100+ Fast Ethernet Controller, ATI Rage* IIC SVGA) - without success.
It recognizes all devices but after I choose Solaris Interactive installation (from CD labeled Solaris 8 Software 1 of 2 Intel Platform Edition) it displays:
Booting kernel/unix...
SunOS Release 5.8 Version...
then reboots after 2 seconds.
Since Intel STL2 board appears in the HCL for Solaris 8 I have struggled a while with the problem. I have not found neither post nor driver update information concerning this issue on the Solaris' related Web sites.
Finally, I found the very strange specification update info of STL2 board, published by Intel:
"13. Sun* Solaris* 8 installation issues
PROBLEM: Sun Solaris 8 cannot be installed on the STL2 server board with any BIOS version later than BIOS Release 1.1, Build 15. The system reboots during install and therefore the installation cannot be completed.
IMPLICATION: Installation of Sun Solaris 8 cannot be completed on an STL2 server board running any BIOS release later than BIOS Release 1.1, Build 15.
WORKAROUND: Sun Solaris* 8 will successfully install on the STL2 server board with BIOS Release 1.1, Build 15."
My BIOS release on the STL2 board is 1.7. It's too new to install Solaris 8 !?!
I am unable to get an old STL2 model with BIOS 1.1. Is there a way to update anything in the Solaris 8 in order to set it up on the new model of Intel STL2 server platform?
I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
Matt

The problem has been resolved.
I got the older BIOS 1.1 Build 15 for Intel STL2 from Intel Internet Support. After I installed BIOS 1.1 instead of BIOS 1.7 had no problem with installation of Solaris 8.

Solaris Express, Dev. Edition 2/07 install problem

Im trying to install the solaris express developer edition 2/07 dvd i got in the mail.
Everything goes fine until i have to set up the hard drive for installation. I have two hard drives, 1 SATA (Server 2003), and a 20Gb IDE for this Solaris install.
When i click next to start installing, it drops out with an error against Solaris Software. the error is as follows:
ERROR: Could not create Fdisk partition table.
ERROR: Could not label disks
ERROR: Could not update disks with new configuration
ERROR: System installation failed
Pfinstall failed. Exit stat = java.lang.UNIXProcess@2af0812
sing existing Solaris fdisk partition (c2d1)
Im not a nub to linux but i have never used solaris and its been a few years since i've touched it - but im familiar with console.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. =D

You do not supply more comprehensive info on Your hardware. Therefore I would like to suggest quite conservative approach.
1. First of all it will be helpful to get from SUN's website the "Install check tool". It is an image (bootable CD) of diagnostic soft.
2. Disable in Bios the SATA disk.
3. Boot the computer with "Install_check_tool" CD inserted into the drive. I hope that this diagnostics will be OK.
4. Restart the computer and start Solaris installation. You can perform this step directly after step no. 2. Now Bios will see only IDE disc and installation should proceed OK. If not - supply more info on Your hardware and resulting (in this situation) diagnostics.
Good luck!

Solaris 10 with Adaptec 7902 with 36G or 73G, not correctly find disk space

I'm trying to install Solaris 10 x86 on an server on TYAN platform k8sr. Its got an Adaptec 7902 SCSI controller, without RAID.
It used 36G drive - Solaris interface thinks there is only a 9G drive in the system!
I change drive on 72G drive - Solaris thinks there is only a 18G drive!!!! After update, so on!!!!
Solaris 10 Express find full space drive, but not boot from this drive, Solaris 9 find full space drive, but not load to this drive. I'm test this drive on Windows, and FreeBSD - it's good
Please, help me,
Thanks

Solaris 2.5.1 Workshop 5.0 Debug Problem

I've posted this on comp.unix.solaris and haven't received any answers, so I thought this might work.
I was having trouble with a C++ system I'm wrapping up where a third
party library was requiring that I compile with the -mt flag for
multi-threading. This was causing iostreams in my program (which is
not multi-threaded) to hang on mutex locks. I was told this was a
known problem and to load all of the latest OS and Workshop patches.
So, I loaded the following patches and patch clusters:
Workshop
107311-17
107355-07
107357-11
107390-16
p-15569
p-15577
p-15589
p-15595
OS
2.5.1_Recommended
Now, I can't test the mutex problem because before I can get there, I
get the following message from the Teamware Debugger while stepping
through my program:
"Cannot resume process -- continue failed -- Device busy"
I am running Workshop 5.0 Dated 12/15/98.
Unfortunately, upgrading is not a possibility as the third party
software will not work on anything else. Also, the work I'm currently
doing is some touch-up before we port the whole thing to Java in a
couple of months.
If anyone has any ideas, I would be greatly appreciative.

When the keyboard is disconnected...display automatically goes to the serial port. If your keyboard is connected, reboot and make sure you have a video card installed. The onboard one may not have the vsimm(video memory) option, in which case you will have to get memory for it(very, very expensive) or get a separate sbus video card(these can be had very cheap on ebay). Let us know how it works out for you.

Solaris 10 x86 custom jumpstart pxe/dhcp install problem

Ok, I have a custom jumpstart server installed and working (sort of...) when installing onto just a single client. It works perfect. It installs, reboots and comes up just fine. BUT...
The DHCP portion of the server has 230 addresses allocated from an private IP block.
The problem is, when i try to custom jumpstart 20 servers at the same time, the PXE portion times out and fails on all of the clients.
Any ideas?

Thanks for your answers.
Yes, both machines have the same hardware exactly. Finally, I could find where the problem was.
The file bootenv.rc, for some reason that I don't know, was corrupted: In it there was a correct line with bootpath variable correctly defined, but, at the end of the file, there was another line setting the bootpath variable to a long and incoherent string of chars. Booting in failsafe, mounting the system in /a, and removing that stupid line from the bootenv.rc, solved the problem.

Solaris 10 x86 b72 "Cannot find boot.bin" booting from SCSI.

Hello,
After several gyrations of installation attempts and dealing with early BIOS PnP issues, I've finally managed to get Solaris 10 x86 installed on an old dual P2 333Mhz system. So far the system is running flawlessly, but I'm still not able to boot directly off the SCSI disk. The primary boot handler is erroring out that it cannot find boot.bin.
I can boot fine off of the IDE CD drive and the floppy (currently pointed to autoboot into the SCSI disk as a workaround). But when I try to boot directly off the SCSI drive, I get the error from the Solaris boot manager that it "Cannot find boot.bin".
I have booted off the CD & Floppy and compared the /boot files from both the CD & floppy, but I cannot find any difference that would prevent the primary boot loader from finding boot.bin. I've even compared files to make sure they were not corrupt, and even force re-installed the boot handlers, and manually partioning, always with the same results. I've also tried both enabling and disabling the DOS >1G translation of the Adaptec SCSI BIOS with no change. I can't find any reason that the boot loader is not seeing boot.bin, or that the file is corrupt in any way (even after several wipe and install attempts).
My System is:
Supermicro P6DLS dual Pentium II 333MHz & 512MB RAM, w/ Adaptec 7880 SCSI-UW and IDE (whopping UltraDMA 33) interfaces.
CD/DVD reader is configured as the secondary master (moved from primary master in an attempt to fix boot problem)
HD is a 16GB UW SCSI disk.
(Other particulars ommited unless someone feels they are relevant to the boot process).
The system came to me with Windows 2000 installed and functioning. I also had Fedora Core 3 installed, both with no boot problems of the SCSI disk. (Although FC3 would not see the second processor even with the canned SMP kernel).
This system is intended to replace a Fedora Core 3 system to be a multi-purpose firewall gateway & proxy server and I'm really liking the performance I'm seeing with Solaris 10 on this system but would like it to be able to go through a normal boot process and not have to depend on a floppy as a boot device to get started.
Anyone have any ideas why the Solaris x86 boot loaders think that they cannot find boot.bin when the full /boot partion is intact?
TIA,
-Troy

I'm getting the same problem trying to install
Solaris 10 in VMware from DVD.
It brings up the Solaris Primary Boot Subsystem, so
it appears to be reading fine, but the only thing
that happens is I get the Cannot find boot.bin
error.Hmm, the "Cannot find boot.bin." message comes from the
CD/DVD's boot code, which is contained in the first 16 sectors
of the media.
The boot.bin file is supposed to be read from the Solaris UFS
slice, which starts at 512 byte block #5151360 (or 2048 byte
dvd sector #1287840). This a byte offset of ~2.6 GBytes.
Maybe an issue with your system's bios not being able to read
DVD media > 2GB, during DVD boot?
Or a problem with burning the DVD media? Maybe some
"smart" PC DVD burning software has decided only to record
the 2.6 GB ISO filesystem, and the 100 MB Solaris UFS
filesystem that follows the ISO filesystem is missing on the DVD?
Or a 2GB filesize issue while burning the DVD?
Do you have a pc / windows utility that can print some information
about the S10 DVD media, especially the size of that DVD?
Maybe your CD/DVD recording software?
The original S10 GA x86 DVD image has a size of 2732195840
bytes, or 1334080 2K DVD blocks.

Solaris 10 x64 instalation problems

Hi,
I install solaris on Tyan S2882 ( dual opteron ) mainboard
with Adaptec 39320A-R SCSI card and two SCSI HDD:
40 GB Seagate and
1,25 TB EonStor A12U-G1410 RAID matrix.
When I install system from DVD, solaris boot only in 32 bit
mode and dont properly detect big disk (disk is too large in 32 bit mode).
I can't force solaris to boot in 64 bit mode.
When I install solaris in 32 bit mode and later modify "boot-file"
to "kernel/amd64/unix". kernel start in 64 bit mode.
Unfortunatly wnen I run "format" to add big disk manualy

How force solaris to start installation from DVD in 64 bit mode.
How add disk greater than 1 TB to system.

I can't force solaris to boot in 64 bit mode.That is correct since the miniroot is a 32 bit kernel. There are couple of
options. First, since you mention that its a RAID device, are there tools to partition that RAID disk into smaller chunks ? Typically this is feasible and then that RAID device will appear as 2 disks to the kernel. If you have another disk to install to and you want the entire device to be visible under Solaris, format is is the right way to do it. You need add an GPT (EFI label). If format is core dumping then please file a bug or check if you need a patch to address it.

No disks found on install, need driver?

Hi All,
I have a Compaq/HP Proliant ML350 G2 server which I would like to install Solaris 10 onto. The install program says it cannot detect any disks and exits so I am guessing that it requires drivers.
The controller card is detected as this under Linux:
scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 7.0
<Adaptec (Compaq OEM) 3960D Ultra160 SCSI adapter>
aic7899: Ultra160 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs
Can anyone please provide guidance as to how I can install Solaris onto the machine?
Many thanks.

Multiple disk failures within two months

Hi,
We have six fiber disks and six scsi disks on our Sun V880, solaris 9. Within the last two months we have two scsi disk failures and four fiber disk failures. We replaced the disks. To avoid possible future problems, Sun suggested us to replace the FCAL disk backplane and cables, and I am not sure whether this is a good way to go. Thanks for your input!

StorageReview use to have an excellent drive reliability database. MLII and DM9, anything prior to MaxLine III or DM10 were not that good, but had been since. Unfortunately, outside the few enterprise MaxLine Pro or DM11, Seagate has gutted their line and trying to turn Maxtor into low end consumer... while the 7200.10 series has problems of its own.

"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

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

Problem while installing solaris 10 on HP proliant DL 380 G5.

Hi,
facing problem while installing solaris 10 05/09 on HP proliant DL 380G5. The array controller is E200.
i have installed the raid controller driver CPQary3-2.1.0-solaris10-i386, it is going ahead but not detecting the whole hard disk space. My hard disk space is SAS 146GB. There are two 146GB hard disk present. It is showing only 978 MB & only one hard disk. So please help me out. my mail ID is [email protected]

I have a similar issue trying to load Solaris 10u4 on an IBM x236.
I had to put in a recognized SCSI card, attach an external array to the card, and install Solaris 10u4 on the array. Then I had to install the correct driver from OpenSolaris (an Adaptec one for IBM ServeRAID), and do a live upgrade onto the now-visible internal disks. Then I removed the array and cleaned up the traces from the live upgrade.
You may have to do something similar.
And last month the boot drive got corrupted when power was interrupted. "Oops. Wrong plugs..." This time the external array will stay connected.
