Windows 7 fails to recognize Adaptec 39320 SCSI controller card.

I recently installed a new Motherboard in an existing system and installed Windows 7 Pro on it instead of Windows XP Pro that I had on the previous motherboard. The system included a Adaptec 39390D SCSI card
and 4 ultra320 SCSI drives. I downloaded the drivers for this card from Adaptec, there site says the driver is compatible with Windows 7. I then went to Device Manager and clicked on, clicked on Storage Controllers, Adaptec 39320-based Ultra 320
SCSI, and clicked update controller and received driver installed message.
Device Manager now shows "This device is working properly.", but
the drives do not show up in "Disk Management" were they showed up in previous installations on Windows XP Pro, for Importing.
The BIOS display during startup shows the controller and the connected drives.
This seems to be problem with Windows 7 Professional. If I made a mistake in installing the Adaptec driver would someone please tell me how to correct the problem.

Typically, and I could be wrong about this, you want to also update other drivers such as the Chipset (which the SCSI card may be plugged into as on onboard device) which will also be needed in order for the SCSI drives to be seen.
Did you install Windows 7 using installation media or did you use a deployment mechanism like Microsoft Deployment Toolkit to deploy the OS? If you used MDT, you can pre-package the device drivers (Adaptec drivers included) into the deployment to allow the
drivers to be installed during the initial install of the OS and not in the OS. This method is recommended to be used for plug-and-play driver installation.

K8N Neo2 Plat - Trouble with Adaptec 19160 SCSI

Hi, Using BIOS 1.9 and installed an Adaptec 19160 a few days ago to mainly control a tape drive.
When the machine is going through POST, there is a message that comes up just after the Nvidia RAID prompt to the effect that the machine is unable to load the option ROM, presumably because it's clashing with the NVRAID BIOS (if I disable NVRAID in the BIOS, I am able to see the Adaptec option ROM prompt to press <ctrl><A> to go into the card diags).
Anyone else seen this problem and managed to get over it? Time was when you could change an Adaptec cards mem address and IRQ from the onboard diags, but you don't seem able to do that anymore.
The card still works, but if I want to use SCSI disks, I'm afraid it probably won't.

Problem is :
Bios can't invoke a addin card with nvraid enabled (aka' the invoke error string with the addin cards vendor ID).
What kind of card it is doesn't seem to matter with bioses above 1.9x .
I have SIL 3112 SATA addincard , same thing ...

Problems setting up SCSI controller -

I'm running Solaris 8 on a PC with a newer Adaptec SCSI Card and I can
not get Solaris to recognize any drives...
A windows boot disk with fdisk on it recognizing the drives fine.
I've also tried an old SCSI card, and it can find the drives.
Any suggestions?
PS. I've also ran through the SCSI cards BIOS setup and they're setup as identical as can be.
Thanks

The only logical explanation is that you do not have the Solaris drivers for the SCSI controller. Check out the Solaris HCL to see if the SCSI controller is compatible.

Solaris 9 x86 and AHA 19160

I tried unsuccessfully last night to load my system with Solaris 9 x86. After accepting a plain VGA setting for my 64MB GeForce AGP video card, I was stopped in my tracks by a divide by zero error when the installer was searching for target drives. Even though the previous hardware scans had picked up a SCSI controller, it appears that the default Adaptec driver does not work with a 19160 (Ultra 160) controller.
I was advised that Volume 2 has some boot diskette images which might hold the key. Does anyone know if an Adaptec 19160 controller is supported? Also, is there an Nvidia driver I can use to esacape VGA purgatory? I ran out of wall clock before I was able to explore volume 2.
Thanks

I have the same NIC (RTL 8029 chip), and.. the solution 4 you. :) I made this quick guide for me, so I can add netwotk support to my system, very easily. Happy to see that another person needs that info.
Follow these steps:
1. Download the file from the link below, put it at /, and unzip it.
ftp://sun.drydog.com/pub/solaris/nei-i86pc-solaris5.7.zip
2. Run (from command line) the command:
add_drv /kernel/drv/nei; devlinks
3. Create the file /kernel/drv/nei.conf and write
name="nei" parent="isa" reg=1,0xe800,0x1f interrupts=5;
(this is the hardware address for my card, you should find your's).
4. Create the file /etc/hostname.nei0, whick will contain the line
192.168.0.1
(this is the IP addr. I use for my internal network, change that to any other reserved addr. you like, like 10.0.0.1)
5. If you use IPv6, create /etc/hostname6.nei0 ,too, with the same contents as hostname.nei0
192.168.0.1
6. Edit /etc/hosts and add the line:
192.168.0.1 myname.mydomain
7. Edit /etc/inet/hosts and make the file look like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.1 myname.mydomain loghost
8. Edit /etc/inet/netmasks and put:
192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
9. Run from command line mode or from a terminal:
/usr/sbin/drvconfig -i nei
10. Run from command line mode or from a terminal:
touch /reconfigure; /usr/sbin/reboot
11. After rebooting, type "ifconfig nei0 plumb" to make sure the device was recognized.
It should show up in the output from typing "prtconf"
Normally, now you can use your RTL8029 card.
I hope I help a little bit mate. :)

Adaptec SCSI controller on Virtual XP mode

I am trying to get my SCSI HP ScanJet 3C/4C scanners to work on my PC. I just installed Win 7 64 bits Ultimate with the Virtual PC-XP mode I cannot get the driver to catch the SCSI controller as it is suposed to be "embedded" in Windows
XP (according to Adaptec) and thus cannot get separate drivers from Adaptec. It is an Adaptec AHA-2910C card.
It shows the card in the hardware manager of Win 7 but has no drivers for it. If I could at least get the XP mode to see it and install the driver , then I would be in good shape. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, that's just not possible, XP Mode running in Windows VPC cannot
see the real hardware of the PC. only virtual devices WVPC provides,
and pass through SCSI isn't one of the things provided.
VMWare Workstation may provide what you want, but I'm not sure about
any of the other VM solutions.

MSI Neo2 865PE and SCSI Controller Question

Hi All,
Im new here so be easy on me
Anyways im currently building a new system P4 System based on the new 800FSB, i have all the parts ready, ie. CPU, DDR400 RAM, Case, Adaptec SCSI Controller, HDD etc etc, but believe it or not i havent purchased a motherboard yet. The reason being i want to get clarification that my setup will actually work with the motherboard before i go out and buy it. WHAT SETUP you ask, please read on
Now the reason im posting here is because from what i can see on the internet this is a really top notch board (best performer in the recent THG test) so naturally its one of the boards im considering.
Now to the my QUESTION: I want to use my SCSI drive connected to the Adaptec as the OS drive and boot from it. However my main concern is that the Neo2 865PE wont let me boot of the SCSI Hard Disk attached to the Adaptec SCSI 21960 controller. Ive been told that certain motherboards eg. ASUS wont detect a SCSI controller on boot up because it will only detect the onboard RAID controller as the SCSI controller, therefore not letting you use the SCSI disk at the boot device.
Can anyone ease my mind and tell me the MSI 865 Neo2 will let me do what i intend??? ie. Boot of SCSI disk.
Any response/comments is appreciated
Cheers

Hi Domino,
Thanyou for testing the setup out for me.....
When you tested it did you have your onboard Intel S-ATA RAID controller enabled? because i believe this is where the problem will eventuate, when you enable the m/b's ONBOARD RAID controllers.
Cheers

GDT-SCSI Controller and 865G Neo2 PLS

Hi
I try to install a GDT-SCSI RAID (GDT6528RS) Controller on a 865G Neo2 PLS. While POST of the controller works fine (it detects all the SCSI Disks, says "1 Disk for BIOS"), I can not boot of the RAID. The BIOS simply does not even try. I selected "SCSI" in the BIOS as first in the boot order, but no boot sector gets detected. I already updated the Firmware on the SCSI Controller, I tried to update the mobo BIOS, but I'm not sure which one to take, as it says "BIOS > 3.x are not supported on 865G Neo2".
Has anybody a hint what I'm missing? The SCSI Card seems to need a PCI-Bus Master-Slot, there is nothing mentioned about one of those in the manual. May this be my Problem?
Thank you for your help
Flavio

I got the same issue here with a K8T-Master1 AMD64 Mainboard. The BIOS detects and displays the RAID-Controller (a ICP Vortex GDT8546RZ 4-Channel S-ATA RAID Controller), but regardless what is configured for bootup, the BIOS doesn't even try to boot from this (say SCSI) device. All worked fine with the old ASUS Mainboard before (CUBX-E). I will upgrade the BIOS now, and if this doesn't work either, i need a simple IDE "Boot-HDD", since this is a developer workstation and the RAID is very important.......

New SCSI controller on Netra T2000 with Solaris 10

I have the following problem. I just have installed additional SCSI controller to my Netra T2000. The controller is X4422A Sun Dual Gigabit Ethernet + Dual SCSI PCI Adapter. After starting OS I can see the following output of cfgadm -al:

The glm0 and glm1 are the SCSI busses. Now, my problem is to access the tape drives (in the autochanger) connected to that controller.
I cannot find out how to create mount points for those tape drives.
Any suggestions?

Sylwester

Did you do a boot -r?
That will do a 'devfsadm' which does all the /dev stuff for you.
Do you have the latest Recommended patch kit to make sure all your drivers are up to date?

Dual boot Solaris 9 and Solaris 10 on a SCSI hard disk

Hi,
I would like to dual boot Solaris 9 and Solaris 10 on a SCSI hard disk. Currenlty that 16gb hard disk has Solaris 9 installed on it.

SCSI Controller AH2940UW

I am instaling Solaris 9 on a ULTRA Sparc 10 but the installation does not detect the AH2940UW SCSI controller.
Does this controller require a separate driver to be installed or is there another configuration that needs to be done?
Thanx.

Yes, it would require driver software, and Adaptec chooses to not create such packages.
Adaptec would have to also modify the chipset on that card to make it compatible with Sun's SPARC architecture.
It will not work. Period.
Find a different HBA.
Search the Hardware forums for keyword <u>symbios</u>.
If you search those forums with keyword <i>adaptec</i> you'll find how
It has been discussed, over there, many many times in the last two years..
Don't bother to post a new inquiry, as the issue has been completely discussed.

Need PCI SCSI controller for Sparc

I am perplexed at how difficult it is to get a Sparc-based PCI SCSI controller. I need help. If I search man section 7d of Solaris 9 I can find glm, isp, mpt, ncrs, and syshisl which appear to be drivers for PCI SCSI controllers on Sparc, but no idea of where to buy one (none of these are Adaptec, which I do know where to buy). If I search the Sun Store I can find part numbers for SCSI controllers but absolutely no description of them or which drivers they use. If I search the Sun documentation site I can find a few SCSI controllers mentioned but not referred to by the part numbers on the Sun store, so I still cannot get ordering info. When I search BigAdmin for driver support I find the pages dont tell me which architecture a driver is for. For example, I look up common Adaptec controllers and find drivers such as adp, cadp cadp160 but the web pages neglect to say they are for x86 only.
This is what I need- PCI SCSI controller for SunBlade 100 and SunFire V120, Ultra 2 (LVD).

"... the SSH is your friend..."
"... the SSH is your friend..."
Go online to the Sun System Handbook. It's your resource for hardware information.
http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub
You find the SB100 and the V120 in the list of EOL systems (both are discontinued models).
http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/eolSystemList.html
For each computer, you can review the "Full Components List" link,
where there is a section that displays SCSI adapters,
including their part numbers and their sales option numbers.
You will be able to see that there was only one LVD card qualified
to function properly in the V120. You will also be able to see
that there weren't any LVD cards ever qualified in the SB100.
I anticipate the x6758a card will work fine in both, .
The SunBlade 100 desktop system is so old that it was already End-Of-Llife (EOL)
before Sun started to ship the SCSI card. Thus there was no reason
to go backwards and qualify the card to a disco'd platform.
If you do decide to purchase and install that card, be sure to read its manual carefully.
You will need to install separate driver software to the computers.
The QUS drivers ship with newly purchased x6758a cards, or can be downloaded from Sun.
... not difficult at all.

Cannot configure SCSI controller

Hi, this task has landed on my desk and i have little or no knowledge of what this involves (lucky me). I am trying to configure a SCSI controller using the cfgadm command and it will not configure?
SCSI controllers and attached drives:
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition
c2 scsi-bus connected unconfigured unknown
Basically the host system is running solaris 9 and is connected to one half of a Storedge d1000 which i am trying to get running (disks not running at the moment on one side). I have been led to believe that i need to perform this configuration to get the disks up and running? The other side of the d1000 is connected to another host and is running fine. Any help/advice is much appreciated in advance.
Cheers.

Has the SCSI controller in that Solaris 9 system ever+ functioned with a D1000?
The D1000 is a HVD SCSI device, not LVD, not Single-Ended.
You may just be trying to use the wrong SCSI card.

6580 i845pe and Adaptec 2940UW

Adaptec 2940UW card hangs at POST, updated to the latest BIOS version for the 6580 i845pe Max and Adaptec card - problem still exists.
example:
"Device 1 - plextor cd
Device 2 - toshiba 32x ..
SCSI BIOS NOT INSTALLED ! "
now, system is hung.
terminations are correct, moving the 2940UW to different slots and removing all cards except video doesn't help, I suspect a problem in the 6580's bios. Same scsi rig has no trouble in 3 other systems I tested on. I've also tried with scsi bios enabled - same results. Please advise !

Hmmm.... I dunno.
Adaptec says this:
The BIOS of the SCSI card is used as the bootstrap loader to link hard drive(s) (INT13 devices) through the Interrupt vector table into the system BIOS.
If there are no hard drives connected to the SCSI card, the message is normal.
The Bios looks for hard drives at ID's 0,1,2 and if none are found the message: " BIOS not installed " is displayed. The primary reason for a BIOS is when you have a bootable SCSI hard drive.
To prevent the message from being displayed, "Disable" the BIOS function in SCSI Select: Press Ctrl+A to enter SCSISelect, and go into Configure/View Host Adapter Settings, then go to Advanced Configuration and where is says Host Adapter BIOS or SCSI Controller Int-13 Support set this option to Disable or Disable Scan Bus depending on the BIOS revision and the SCSI card.
Note: This is not an error message, but a BIOS display message only, stating the BIOS was not loaded into memory and all control of device, will be done through the driver.
So you might try disabling INT-13 support?

SCSI controller no - the C?

I have two JNI cards installed:
"/ssm@0,0/pci@18,700000/JNI,FCE@2" 0 "jnic"
"/ssm@0,0/pci@19,700000/JNI,FCE@2" 1 "jnic"
the two controllers become c7 and c8. Disks attached to them have name c7t?d?s2, c8t?d?s2.
How does Solaris assign the number to controller? Is there a mapping table in system?
