Ultra 5 Solaris 8 Drivers

Hi have downloaded and tried to install Solaris 8 on my Ultra 5 Series 3 and it would not allow me to install networked so I chose non networked and now want to install the correct drivers. Does anyone know where these might be (if not on the Solaris CD) I would have thought being Sun hardware the internal Ultra 5 NIC would be included.
If anybody know the driver or how I go about installing it I would be grateful.
Nigel...

The drivers for the onboard hme should be installed on the system if the hme was detected during installation. The easiest way to enable them & the network is to type sys-unconfig, as root, and re-identify the system and enable network connectivity.

Neo 2 Platinum nForce 3 Ultra chipset drivers?

Does anyone know of a place that I can grab the chipset drivers that MSI provides for the nForce 3 Ultra chipset? I have tried the ones from the nVidia site and after they install my network card the machine reboots and windows won't load. Prior to that(about 2 weeks before this reformat) I installed the drivers from the MSI site without a hitch. Normally i'd just grab them from here but the problem is it has been almost 8+ hours now and the site containing all the drivers/bios etc.. is giving me mysql errors or not loading at all.
edit nm finally came back up.

The 5.11 driver set has caused a lot of people problems with the network driver; many people are sticking with 5.10 drivers instead, which also be downloaded from the nVidia site and are arguably the most recent stable set. The ones on the MSI site work for you because they're older (5.03 IIRC), but you can probably update to 5.10 without any problems.

SOLARIS 8-10/01 on INTEL-CAN'T FDISK DRIVE...

I'm trying to install Solaris for Intel form CD media onto an HP Visualize workstation with the following specs: PIII-866, 512RAM, 9GB SCSI HDISK,FX5 GRAPHICS.
I've tried installing with a newly created 2GB DOS partition, removing all other partitions, and removing all partitions. Yet I still get the following error when I believe I should be getting the opportunity to 'fdisk' by hard disk:
WARNING: Timeout on Target 0 Lun 0. Initiating recovery.
(FYI- "Target 0 Lun 0" is the SCSI ID that my SCSI Host Adapter BIOS is assigning the hard disk)
I've also tried downloading the latest Solaris drivers for my SCSI drivers from Adaptec's website with no luck...
Does anyone know what this means...??? And what can I do to get 'fdisk' to see my hard disk and create the Solaris partitions?
Thanks in advance...

At this point I can't give you any reasonable pointers, other than that you should call Adaptec. But don't tell them it's an onboard SCSI chip from HP. =)
Calling HP will leave you hanging because they really don't support anything.

No /dev/lp? on COMPAQ Proliant ML370 with Solaris 8 x86 10/00

Dear Sir,
I have a problem about the /dev/lp? port in Solaris 8 x86 with COMPAQ Proliant ML370. I have seen in the boot interpreter it has detected a parallel port
device isa/lp@1...., but after I boot -r to start Solaris 8
OS it don't make any /dev/lp? or /devices/isa/lp*... and if
I mknod /dev/lp? myself it cannot print out ( I use cat /etc/hosts >> /dev/lp1, /dev/lp1 major=83 minor=1 ) It say "cannot create". I wonder why this happens, If I install this Solaris 8 x86 on other PC model. It has /dev/lp1 and can print out successfully. I try many ways such as: upgrade latest ROMPAQ BIOS firmware,
install lp driver patch set, install acpi patch. But still don't work. I found that serial ports (asy) which are ACPI is working because I can redirect console to serial port (asy).
Do anyone have the idea to solve or track down this problems. Thanks a lot...

Check out the HP Compaq web site and you shuld be able to find the Solaris drivers that are needed. http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/19340.html

Solaris 8 (Intel) install - graphics adaptor

This product seems to operate with a limited range of graphics cards.
I have a TX Pro motherboard with an SIS 6326 AGP graphics chip, and 8 Mbytes of on-board VGA memory. I can't install Solaris unless I can configure the display adaptor correctly, and it works with none of them.
As you can guess, I am trying to avoid buying a new card. SIS do not supply Solaris drivers.
Any suggestions ?

Have run into this problem on a tnt ultra2. Found that if I just accepted the default resolution during the install, it worked fine. After the install, I ran kdmconfig again, and had no problems changing the resolution.
Hope this helps.

Bizzare Disk reservation probelm with sun cluster 3.2 - solaris 10 X 4600

We have a 4 node X4600 sun cluster with shared AMS500 storage. There over 30 LUN's presented to the cluster.
When any of the two higher nodes ( ie node id 2 and node is 3 ) are booted, their keys are not added to 4 out of 30 LUNS. These 4 LUNs show up as drive type unknown in format. I've noticed that the only thing common with these LUN's is that their size is bigger than 1TB
To resolve this I simply scrub the keys, run sgdevs than they showup as normal in format and all nodes keys are present on the LUNS.
Has anybody come across this behaviour.
Commands used to resolve problem
1. check keys #/usr/cluster/lib/sc/scsi -c inkeys -d devicename
2. scrub keys #/usr/cluster/lib/sc/scsi -c scrub -d devicename
3. #sgdevs
4. check keys #/usr/cluster/lib/sc/scsi -c inkeys -d devicename
all node's keys are now present on the lun

Hi,
according to http://www.sun.com/software/cluster/osp/emc_clarion_interop.xml you can use both.
So at the end it all boils down to
- cost: Solaris multipathing is free, as it is bundled
- support: Sun can offer better support for the Sun software
You can try to browse this forum to see what others have experienced with Powerpath. From a pure "use as much integrated software as possible" I would go with the Solaris drivers.

Solaris 10 beta 7 boot problem; stops after loading mmu32 module

Hi,
I'm having a problem getting beta 7 to boot on my system, using boot -v it appears to hang right after the mmu32 module is loaded.
Is there a more detailed debug option I can use on the boot line to track down more precisely where the hang is occuring?
Solaris WAS booting intermittedly for a while, ran DAMN WELL TOO!
Hardware is a VIA CM266 motherboard, Via 1GHz C3 CPU. Solaris is installed on partition 2; NetBSD on 0, Fedora Core 3 on 1. I'm using grub but that doesn't seem to change behavior; booting off the Solaris install CD will hang in about the same place as well.
Any info/pointers/debugging hints appreciated!
-Rob

Hello,
Thanks for the informative post. I am trying to install Solaris 10 on an Athlon system. All works fine except for the nic card.
Can you provide info on what nic card your system uses?
The built in nic on my system is a Sis900 and i have not been able to locate a driver.
I tried installing a Linksys Gigabit card (EG1032). Linksys supports Solaris drivers, but not Solaris 10. (I tried the Solaris 9 driver but it would not install. The error message said 32 bit drivers could not be installed in a 64 bit kernel)
Thanks in advance.

Solaris 10 & Hardware Support

I understand that Linux depends on the communities support to develop drivers for hardware that isn't supported by the manufacturer. How does Solaris stand with support from manufactures, and support from Sun or popular manufactures. I'd like to install Solaris 10 on my x86 desktop, but if it can't support my nForce video chip then there isn't much of a question that I would stick with Linux.
Is it possible, specifically for an nForce video chip, to get just video that doesn't necessarily take advantage of graphic acceleration?
Since nVidia is partnered with Sun to bring some of their high-end cards to Solaris, should we expect to see some of their other hardware supported also?
I'm curious about other hardware as well, such as Ethernet cards, or sound cards. Is it really feasable to run Solaris on a desktop PC, or does it need to be dedicated Solaris machine that was built from the ground up with support in mind because supported hardware is so scarce?

The answer isn't easy to find, because the breadth of the
problem is wide.
As I write, I'm on an Athlon-64 running a NVidia nForce3
250 Gb chipset. Does it work? Yes. Does everything work?
No. There are some parts of the chipset which don't have
Solaris drivers yet. Unfortunately, NVidia also keeps their
driver source close and even for Linux they don't release
the source code. In my case, neither the network nor audio
drivers are available. It may be difficult to get the Solaris drivers
ported unless NVidia does the work. AFAICT, that is not
part of the Sun/NVidia announcement, though I'd be happy
to be proved wrong.
A number of sound cards do have drivers. On this machine,
the NVidia audio driver is not recognized, but I have an iMic
USB audio dongle that seems to work well.
For Ethernet, I have an old Rhine-based card (D-Link). A
driver for this, including the needed 64-bit amd64 driver :-),
is a available from
http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/
Some other vendors offer Solaris drivers directly, so you'll
find some have more support than others.

Driver alias changes during installation of Solaris

I have a HP LP1000r Netserver. It's a little 1u box with a hardware pci raid controller that is giving me some grief.
The card is a HP NetRaid-1M. This card is bascially an OEM version of the AMI MegaRaid 475(Express 500). AMI's raid cards were bought out by LSI who doesn't have Solaris drivers for this card.
There is a LSI MegaRaid driver disk for download from Sun but that seem to be just for new MegaRaid cards. Solaris has a AMI MegaRaid driver, "amr". Looking at the driver alias for the latest Solaris 10 x86 release the driver_alias does not contain the pci ids for my card.
The Solaris amr driver seems to be a port of the FreeBSD amr driver (http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/JoeyGuo?entry=hello_there_welcome_here). The FreeBSD driver lists support for "AMI MegaRAID Express 500 (Series 475)".
So is there any way for me to tell the Solaris installation that my card should use the amr driver? I need to install to hard drives connected to this card.
Would support for this card have been stripped when it was ported from FreeBSD?
Thanks,
-Matt H.

I've installed FreeBSD on the system to verify that the HP NetRAID-1M is supported by the original amr driver, and it is.
At the grub menu I've tried to modify the kernel parameters when launching the install to:
kernel /boot/multiboot kernel/unix -B install_media=cdrom,"target-driver-for-pci103c,60e7"=amr
I've also tried sd instead of amr. The quotes are because of the comma in the key name. I'm kinda guessing on the quote usage based on the info at the end of http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2379/6n4m1vldu?a=view.
I came across http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?forumID=291&threadID=89269 which sounds like it might work for me but building an install server just to modify a driver alias for a single machine is just a little much.
If there is no way to just make Solaris see the card correctly during install, is there some way to make a driver disk that just adds extra alias and what ever else is need to make the existing driver work?

Recommendations for Multipathing software in Sun Cluster 3.2 + Solaris 10

Hi all, I'm in the process of building a 2-node cluster with the following specs:
2 x X4600
Solaris 10 x86
Sun Cluster 3.2
Shared storage provided by a EMC CX380 SAN
My question is this: what multipathing software should I use? The in-built Solaris 10 multipathing software or EMC's powerpath?
Thanks in advance,
Stewart

Solaris 10 and Intel RAID Controllers SRCSAS144E

Where can I download a drivers ?

That answer was trollish.
Did you look into this card - did you even try to see if Solaris could support a PCI-express MegaRAID SAS? This is the heart of the - ssr212mc2 - http://www.intel.com/design/servers/storage/ssr212mc2/index.htm . This is a pure Intel reference design. This is the most drives that fits into a 2U **EVER**. This is the best storage product in existence today. So being snarky and not supporting it will only hurt Sun. The SRCSAS144E is a MegaRAID SAS controller. Need I remind you that the Sun v60 and Sun v65 were pure Intel reference servers that worked GREAT! It works in Linux, want to see:

Compiling Solaris device driver

Hello, I am new to writing device drivers for Solaris 10 OS for x64 platforms (actually EM64T).
I am still getting started on the Writing device drivers tutorial and help files. I have over 8 years of experience doing device drivers for Windows(LAN, USB, PCI, PCIe, IB) and over 5 years of experience writing device drivers for Linux(2.4 and 2.6).
I am thinking I need Sun Studio. What other tools do I need just for compiling drivers and loading the driver on the target?. How about debugging?.
Is it possible to use gcc for compiling and linking drivers?.
Thanks,
RK

Hi RK,
Visit http://www.bolthole.com/solaris/drivers for lots of good information and example drivers. I use gcc exclusively for driver development.
Debugging drivers pretty much requires mdb/kmdb. mdb is an excellent incentive to never, ever make mistakes. It's definitely one of the most obtuse/arcane debuggers I've ever seen, but the Sun guys treasure it.
Good luck,
Dave

Installing solaris 10 on an IBM server with ServeRAID

G'day,
I want to install solaris 10 on my IBM xSeries eServer 235 and install starts fine but straight away it complains about not finding any HDDs and exits.
I do have HDDs installed, three infact.
They are SCSI on the IBM ServeRAID adaptor and i have used ServerGuide to reformat the disks but solaris just cannot find them.
Why is this??
thanks,
jason

I did some idgging and i pretty much concluded that
we need serveRAID drivers for the OS be find the
disks.I've got the same thoughts. Though Solaris 10 is listed in Release Notes for the latest IBM ServeRAID Support CD, and CD itself contains floppy images for what it thinks is a 'solaris drivers', but either those drivers doesn't work or there is wrong drivers. Doing as described in "Installing" readme doesn't give much result. BTW - it's initial release of ServeRAID Support CD where support for Solaris OS is offered.
So all the OSs in the serveraid list are the oes that
serveraid will provide a driver for automatically.If only you have had updated both Server BIOS and RAID Adapter firmwares as described in relative readme's.
I am not sure what to do from here, sell the damn
server i supose!Me too.
I've got RHEL ES4 installed in RAID logical volumes, directly from OS installation distro, without using ServeRAID Support CD drivers. But I was supposed to use Solaris and not the RHEL.
Funnily enough when i got it a heat sink fell off the
northbridge or chipset, not sure which it is. A tad
dodgy.
