Hello,
My DVD device is not seen by solaris.
Seen by probe-scsi-all at the O.K. prompt.
OK boot cdrom works
After booting solaris, I put a CD on the device, but the volmgt doesn't show nothing. volmgt stop and volmgt start, but nothing in /cdrom
Mount manually doesn't work.
No link in /dev/dsk
Nor in /dev/rdsk
Someone can help ?
I had something like this on a V480 - installed Sol 9 from DVD, then once installed wanted to install something else and there it was ... gone! After a frustrating stooge around SunSolve I identified a potential patch and after getting it and applying it, that fixed the problem. Now, if I could but remember what the patch was ...
I will see what I can find and report back.
Do you have the following line in /etc/inetd.conf commented out:
# smserverd to support removable media devices
100155/1tlirpc/ticotsordwaitroot /usr/lib/smedia/rpc.smserverd rpc.smserverd
It may be commented out if you upgraded to Solaris 9 or you "hardened" the system using JASS
You're both right. V480 = IDE & V880 = SCSI.
Toshiba firmware patch was for Model 1401 having an issue with DVD's. CD's were OK. I think I'd try a new drive first. I've had a few problems with JumpStarting an occaisional 880 "assuming" my internal disks were c1t0d0 etc but they were being seen as c0t0d0 because the DVD was missing. DVD should usually be c0t6d0 because the SCSI path gets probed before the Fibre disks. Probe-scsi only indicates the presence of the DVD, not the functionality.
