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 : )
TIA

Try 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?

Solaris 10 Install CD Not Found...

Hello,
i'm trying to evaluate solaris 10 11/06. I'm using a Tyan Tiger K8SSA (S3870G2NR-RS) motherboard, and an Areca ARC1110 SATA2 PCI-X 4-Port RAID Controller.
I have...
1 sata drive plugged into the onboard sata controller
3 hard drives plugged into the arc1110 raid card
1 cdrom plugged into the onboard ide controller
1 floppy drive plugged into the onboard floppy controller
When my bios is set with the sata controller emulating pata (default bios setting) after the the network interface configuration screen, solaris complains that it does not find any valid solaris os cd/dvd install disks. (does not see cdrom?)
When my bios is set with the sata controller emulating sata after the network interface configuration screen, solaris complains that there are no hard disks (does not see the sata hard drive?)
The Tyan motherboard has an xgi volari z7 onboard video which solaris doesn't seem to recognize because the graphical install screen never shows up.
Any help you be appreciated. Thanks!

@tsienv,
The original post was about incompatible x86-based architecture.
Your question appears to be about a bad individual home-made CD disk
and how it seems to behave with a SPARC-based system.
If the Ultra-30's optical drive can still work with disk #1 and disk #2 and disk #3,
then the problem is with how you created disk #4. Do it again... at 4x speed.
If the Ultra-30's CD drive has suddenly developed problems reading
more than just the one individual disk, then replace the drive.
It's old.
Ten years old.
The Ultra-30 has a resource page in the Sun System Handbook.
http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/U30/U30.html
There is a link on that page to your OBP patch.
Patch 105930will get your systemboard up to version 3.27.0
Your OBP version of 3.7 suggests the computer has never had any maintenance of any sort.
Thus my vote is for that SCSI CD drive.

Downloaded & Installed Lion - Disk found corrupt

I am fairly new to the whole MacBook thing. I've had an iPhone since they first came out but this is the first time I have an Apple instead of PC.
I downloaded and installed OS X Lion. System restarted and immediately went into the Disk Utility. If I try to repair the disk, I get the messages:
"Journal need to be replayed but volume is read only.
The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
Error: Disk Utility can't repair this disk...disk, and restore your backed-up files."
The pop-up that comes up is similar:
"Disk Utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files."
I don't have a back... had this MBP for about 2 months now. There are minimal files that I would want to keep, but cannot get them off the HD now.
Any ideas, please

If Lion properly prepared the Recovery HD, the restart, holding down the CMD+R keys. If it boots into recovery mode, select Disk Utility, and repair the disk. Details in Recovery and About Lion Recovery. Also, see Internet Recovery.

Solaris 8 x86: How to install on disk connected via IDE controller

I have a PC with a Pentium 4 processor and the following IDE disks:
Disk 1 and 2 at the primary IDE bus.
Disk 3 connected via Promise Ultra 133 IDE controller.
I want to install Solaris 8 Intel x86 edition on Disk 3, but the installation
program only lists disks 1 and 2 as locations for install.
Is there any method how to get Solaris 8 installed on Disk 3?
Thank you very much for your help!
Thomas

Hello Michael,
thanks for the information.
There is no support for the Promise Ultra 133 IDE controller listed.
Also, searching the internet for a private developed driver was not
successful.
Anyway, I have tried to make a test installation on a hard disk
connected to the primary IDE controller and I detected a lot of
further installation problems with my equipments because of
missing or not properly identified drivers.
So I think I have to make further investigations on concepts
how to get Solaris 8 run in the best way.
Thanks again for your help,
Thomas

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.

Installing Solaris 10 on HP ML370G5 server -No disks found

I get no disks found.
There is no way to disable Smart Array P400 using ROM based settings which appears after pressing F9.
It seems the DISABLE option for P400 controller is removed.
Has anyone had success in disabling the array controller on ML370G5
server?
please help

I want to configure RAID in such a way that Solaris sees all the 6 disks(72GBx6) separately.on the system post on power up, you should see ORCA banner select F8
you should also make sure you have the latest firmware loaded as well
HP Smart Array verify which one you have http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00572169/c00572169.pdf ?

"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 Disks Found! error during install of Solaris10 R10 on OracleVM 3.0.1

Has anybody got Solaris 10 R10 working in OracleVM 3.0.1? I have Linux 6.1 and Solaris11 working fine. But get no disks found during iso install of Solaris10 R10.

Still no luck, I get through the installation until it asks about CDROM media, then I get a pop up window with the "No Disks found" eror, after that the install exists to xterm window.
Here's my vm.cfg in this instance I did not change xvd to hd as all my attempts to change this cause vm not to boot.
-thanks for any advise.

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 ...
etc, etc, etc

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.
