Solaris 8 don't recognize a SCSI CDROM for installation

My Intel system has a IDE hard disk and a SCSI Adaptec 1542CP. I'm trying to install Solaris 8 using a Matsushita SCSI CDROM ( scsi id=5 ). The hardware it's fine because I'm booting DOS 6.22 and Unixware 7.11 using the same system.
Solaris diskette recognizes my SCSI controller but don't recognizes my CDROM. Please could you help me ?
Sorry, English it's not my first language !!

Can you see them from the OBP with a probe-scsi-all etc....
Are they actually Sun qualified disks, have they got Sun firmware on them, what are the model numbers.
Have a search on sunsolve for the ST number if it's a Seagate etc etc and try and find some firmware to burn to them from another system.
Failing that connect to another system and run format and low level format time. The RAID cont might of burnt somekind of special headers to them, god knows....
What kind of RAID cont was it? What type of system are you using, and what system were they in?

  • X86 Solaris8 can't see the scsi HDs for installation

    First, the three HDs were configured for a RAID card which I could not find support for by Solaris8. So, I put in a dual-scsi card (one for the external tape drive & another one for the HDs). Solaris8 first sees them and lists them as a choice of devices to boot from, I choose cdrom and continued with the installation. Later when it's time to pick a HD to start writing the OS to (right after host identification step of the installation process), it says: "No disks found: Check to make sure disks are cabled and powered up".
    Can someone please help?
    Many thanks in advance, and HAPPY NEW YEAR.

  • Old mac won't recognize OS 10 disks for installation to allow upgrade.

    I have an old Power Macintosh G3 300 Desktop (M7105LL/A) currently running OS 9.1. I want to upgrade to OS 10.3 or 10.4 (I have both disk sets).
    I tried starting up from either of the disk but the PM won't recognize the 10.4 or start up from the 10.3. I get error messages offering to erase the 10.4. The 10.3 starts up on my mac in OS 9.1 even with "C" held down.
    I somehow did this once b4 but do not remember the trick I used.
    Unfotunately as my printer and internet did not work went back to OS 9.1 but now I am willing to work on those isses but cannot even get to that point.
    Many internet sites won't work with OS 9.1 so I do need to up grade.
    Note that when I start these disks from my mac laptop running OS 10 they are recognized? I'm stumped and need help.

    Hi, I am tring to bring an old indigo imac g3 500Mhz 20Gb HD into the present day for my mother-in-law and have just put in 1Gb ram in order to install either 10.3 or 10.4 (I have been told that 10.5 is a no go). I have two copies of 10.4 that came with an old ibook G4 and a Mac Mini G4 and also a copy of 10.3 that also came with the Mac Mini. None will install on the iMac G3 with the note "this operating system and softare bundle cannot be installed on this Mac" (incidentally, although I am not sure this is relevant, I am using the DVD drive on my MacBook Pro by firewire link as the G3 only has a CD-Rom drive). I believe that if I buy a retail copy it will work, but at £90 it's maybe not worth it having just spent £70 on the Ram, however as I no longer use any of the other copes of 10.3/10.4 mentioned on another Mac I feel agrieved that I cannot use one of these. Does anyone know a way that will let me install one of the copies that I already have? Any help much appreciated.

  • SCSI Emulation for IDE Tape Devices

    Linux has a nifty driver called ide-scsi.o, an SCSI emulation for IDE devices, that allows SCSI commands to sent to IDE devices. These IDE devices (CDROM, tape drives, etc...) appear as SCSI devices.
    Does Solaris have something similiar?
    Thanks,
    Quang

    I have tried burning without setting scsi emulation but give me some errors, so how can I set scsi emulation for burning CD/DVD on k3b???
    It's in rc.conf by adding "ide-scsi"???
    I'm using Kernel 2.6.4 (IDE version), KDE 3.2.1 and K3b 0.11.6.
    Note: I've tried to upgrade k3b from 0.11.6 to 0.11.7 with "pacman -Su k3b" but say to me that already in last version - 0.11.6.
    with kernel 2.6 you don't need anymore scsi emulation for cd burning, i do that, on the bootloader ( lilo is what i use) i add at the append line this -->     hdc=ide-cd  , and that's all, maybe even that is not needed, not sure. If you want to test if that works open a shell and type --> cdrecord --dev=ATAPI --scanbus
    It should show your burner.
    For k3b you maybe need to run the setup program first, and make sure your cdrdao is uptodate.

  • Solaris 10 x86 don�t recognize hard disk of  Dell PowerEdge 2850

    Hi:
    I�m installing Solaris 10 X86 in a PowerEdge 2850, after I changed ACPI and put 119376 -01 patch, now i can see disks but when the instalation begin it go until 15% and doesn�t follow with it and doesn�t show any messages .
    I have a perc 4e/di Raid Controler and 3 hard disk off 73 Gb
    Thanks for Advance.

    Solaris 10 does not play well with certain raid controllers shipping on the Dell 2850s.
    See http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=23549
    You may want to look at the HCL entry for the 2850
    From http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/sol/systems/details/806.html
    Stephan Sachweh writes,
    If you have a DRAC4/I board inside you should upgrade the firmware to v1.20 and disable the VIRTUALCDROM and VIRTUALFLOPPY while installing Solaris.
    Also you need a patch for big drives if you have 73GB Seagate harddisks.
    In your Solaris 10 boot floppy, edit Solaris/bootenv.rc, append this line to the end of this file: setprop acpi-user-options 0x4 ---

  • SCSI CDROM wont boot Windows XP

    Hello Everyone,
    I really need some help.  I just bought and setup this msi k8n neo2 ultra mobo.
    I have two ata 133 40GB drives plugged into the ata 133 ide ports.  I have configured these as a raid stripe with no issue (I've also disabled all sata ports).  The stripe is always detected on boot.
    I now would like to install Windows XP and thus the start of my issues.
    I have an adaptec 2940 scsi card with a plextor scsi cdrom.
    I disable the raid from booting and set the boot other option within the bios.
    The scsi bios recognizes the bootable cd and I press 0 to boot it.  I then get an ntldr not found and nothing happens.
    Things I have tried:
    -disabled raid controller entirely as I thought that the raid controller and the adaptec scsi card may have a conflict
    -set floppy to boot first and set boot other device....still nothing
    I just do not have any other ideas and would greatly appreciate some help.
    Thanks to all who read and reply.
    Mike

    Yes it is possible. I am using now.You need a PCI SCSI HBA card with internal connector
    like Sun option X5010A. Use Smart Card Reader tray for trial SCSI disk installtion, first. After reset all search SCSI device probe-scsi-all, write this device path down on a paper.

  • TS3299 opticals drive disappeared in my Windows 8 computer.   After  1-1/2 on the phone this was corrected but now my Itunes don't  recognize the drive.  Error message stating registry errors.  I tried   running in windows 7 compatibility mode that don't

    Purchased a new Ipad for my wife and integrated it with my windows 7 system and Itunes and made it through.  Was able to sync and bring pictures, contacts and bookmarks over.  Not to say it was easy because I never used any Apple product except my Ipad and Itunes.  Really enjoyed using the Ipad and was thinking of getting a new Iphone this week being my contract is up.
    Then the trouble began I bought a new windows 8 system after having trouble with my old hard drive.  I have finances and Tax programs I use that I thought would be easier to continue using windows rather than trying integrating past years Quicken & Turbo Tax information into a new Apple system.
    Well now I'm sorry I bought the new windows 8 system.  First all my optical drives disappeared when installing itunes.  After spending 1-1/2 on the phone with a service rep and finally was able to see my optical drive I thought everything was OK.  Then more trouble.  When I open Itunes I receive an error message that says my Itunes no longer recognizes my optical drive try reinstalling.  I reinstalled 10 times and tried compatibility mode and the end result is my Itunes no longer could burn Cd's.  I had this problem if I'm not mistaken in the past with ME system back many years ago.  And did not want to go through this again but here I am disgusted once again.

    I finally got my nano working (no thanks to Apple, hmpf!) and it's running fine with 1.0.2 now. For those with similiar problems try this:
    +For Mac, you need to:+
    +1. Downgrade to firmware 1.0.1 by deleting the files iPod_26.1.0.2.ipsw and iPod_26.1.0.2.ipsw.signature (are in the folder iPod software updates somewhere on the harddisk)+
    +2. under Settings in iTunes you have to disable automatic download of updates, then restart iTunes.+
    +3. Enter Disc Mode by holding menu & select for about ten seconds, then pressing play/pause & select for another ten seconds.+
    +4. reconnect your nano to Reset, and when iTunes prompts to update, just don't allow it to look for updates and then reset with fw 1.0.1.+
    I'm supriced Apple support didn't tell me about this? This worked great and is a very fast fix. I can't believe Apple got me to reinstall the whole OS, which didn't even solve it btw. USB 1, blah! Yeah right..

  • Computer AND iTunes don't recognize my iPod touch.  Comp thinks it is a camera.  iTunes won't bring up devices at all.  I've already uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled after problem that happened when I updated iTunes... getting beyond P/Oed!!!

    Computer AND iTunes don't recognize my iPod touch.  Comp thinks it is a camera or something.  iTunes won't bring up devices at all.  I've already uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled after problem that happened when I updated iTunes - updated iTunes completely demolished my computer's ability to recognize the sound card and computer had NO sound at all.  I had to uninstall iTunes, QT, AND my sound card and reinstall them all.  Sound worked fine, but now I can't sync my iPod.  Computer recognizes that "something" is hooked up (thinks it might possibly be a camera) and I get that "open with" window.  In "my computer" it shows that there is an "iPod" connected, but it is pictured as a camera.  In iTunes my username is no longer appearing (although account info is there) and NO devices whatsoever get listed.  There is nothing wrong with my USB ports or cable.  And of course Apple won't help anyone unless you pay them to. ... I am getting beyond P/Oed!!!  You pay hundreds for a product and all you get are headaches with their stupid bug infested software and no support at all.
    Can anyone out there help me clean up this unbelievable mess Apple and iTunes has created in my computer?
    Thank you.
    Evie

    After three completely wasted days trying to figure all of this out I finally got it fixed - on my own - by reading dozens and dozens of rogue posts in indie forums from people that refuse to dish out money to have a company TRY and advise possible fixes on their own glitches.
    (here's a novel idea - fix the glitches Apple.  Or - don't send out updates filled with bugs in the first place)
    Everything (several applications) had to be uninstalled in a very specific order and then restarted , then it all had to be verified with manual deletions of leftovers, and emptying the recycle bin, then another restart, then iT had to be reinstalled again and the system restarted again, and two more update downloads. Holy!!!
    I love my little iPod touch, but I honestly must say, when this kind of thing happens (and it has several times now when I try to deal with iTunes or Apple), it makes me want to flush it down the toilet.

  • SCSI card for a G5 or processor upgrade for a G4?

    Hi all
    Actually, this is a question that concerns the G5 and the G4 forum, but I decided to post it here first.
    So, I have this old G4/400 PCI with an Adaptec 2930 SCSI card that I use for scanning slides with an Artix 4000t sclide scanner; this works fine, but the G4 is rather slow when it comes to using some features of the scanning software, such as removing scratches.
    I've been thinking about buying a SCSI card for my G5 (Dual 1.8) for some time now, but I'm not sure what card I should go for; I'm not even sure if there are still cards for such an "old" device as the slide scanner (about 3 to 4 years old, no Ultrawide or something like that). And then there's the problem of the drivers for the card - how long will they be available, especially now that Apple is switching to Intel...?
    The other possibility would be to buy a processor upgrade for the G4. I've seen some at OWC, and they seem to be less expensive than a SCSI card. The drawback of this solution is of course that I'll have to keep the G4 standing on my desk... on the other hand, I do know that the scanner will work perfectly with the G4.
    The G5, on the other hand... it will be faster and easier, since I won't have to transfer the files for storage and editing, I could free some space on my desk,... but will it work? The G5 is running 10.4, I'm not sure if my current scanner driver is compatible... and what when 10.5 comes out...?
    So I'm looking for a second, third, fourth... opinion:
    What would you do? Get a SCSI card for the G5 or a processor upgrade for the G4? What SCSI card would you recommend?
    TIA,
    Tina

    I've done some research on G5 and SCSI and scanners, and obviously, what I remembered was correct... making it work seems at least tricky, and maybe expensive too (if you've got to buy new scanning software and and..).
    So I guess that's decided: No SCSI on the G5. Leaves the question, should I buy a processor upgrade card for the G4? Getting some dual G4 on eBay might be an option, but then, that would be another computer in my already crammed office, and I just can't throw the G4 away, it's one of the very first models...
    I came by the idea of a processor upgrade because I just played around with an old Mac SE, which has an 68030 accelerator card installed, and this seems to work fine. Anyone has any experience with G3 /G4 upgrades (good or bad)?
    Smokerz: Why would you not recommend an upgrade? Any bad experiences?

  • Opening Blend, I'm met with TWO device choices my Z10 and another that I don't recognize

    Actually, when I first open Bland on Samsung Tab S, I see my Z10.  I enter the Password.  It goes through some process and then I am met with TWO device, the Z10 and Device-xxxx where I guess XXXX is some partial PIN number but I don't recognize it.  So I then have to reselect the Z10 and again enter its password.  Basically logging in TWICE.  Somewhat irritating but I'm more curious what's the other device and how do I eliminate it.  Going to BBID site I don't see any place to specify devices associated with my BBID.  And it is not the partial PIN of either of my Playbooks (heaven forbid Blend from supporting BB's own devices).

    f2 wrote:
     So, I gather it is some residual device that BBID had/had associated but I don't know where to go to remove it from the pool. 
    The current Z10 replaced a defective one about a year ago and I don't recall its PIN number. 
    Where does BBID store the devices that share it? 
    I will charge the 9930 and see what its pin is.
    I think that is likely it.
    ON a PC, login to www.bbid.com and see if that device is still listed and you can remove it there.

  • Office 365 Web Portal - We don't recognize this user ID or password

    We are currently in the process of rolling out Office 365 in our organisation. This deployment is to 80-90 users, for up to 10 users i am having the following issue.
    Users appear to be successfully syncing from our AD to the O365 cloud using DirSync. I have verified this by changing an attribute of an AD user and
    performing a sync and confirmed the changed attribute is shown in the O365 administrative portal.
    When attempting to activate the Office suite after installation the activation fails stating that the username or password is incorrect. When this
    user attempts to login to the online portal at portal.office.com the user receives a "We don't recognize this user ID or password". I have confirmed that the user id and password are correct and that the user is listed in the admin portal and has
    the relevant subscription assigned to them.
    From within the O365 admin portal (where i am a global administrator) i have blocked this user from being allowed to sign in or access services within
    the user’s settings screen. On attempting to sign in with this user on the O365 portal it informs me that the user is blocked and I need to contact an administrator. This is what I’d expect, to me this confirms that the user I am manipulating in the O365 portal
    is correct,  but after allowing sign in once again on the user’s settings page I receive the same “We don’t recognize this user ID or password” error message.
    Is this something anyone else has come across and successfully resolved in the past? If more detail is required to assist let
    me know.

    Hi,
    Thanks for sharing the steps here. And good to see that it works for you, at least for one affected user for now. 
    If you have any follow-up questions about this, I would suggest you to post in the dedicated forum of

    Office 365 admin/host/integration aspects here:

    The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.
