I've made copies of my original SunOS 4.1.1 CD onto CD-R, and " they work fine. i burned the s2.6 that my old ss2 ran on a pc too. that has nothing to do with it. it's a hd fs, wrapped in an iso. it's kind of a hack, to allow booting from cds without having to support iso9660 in openboot, and it long predates multisession.

That would be Solaris 9 Update 7 for sun4m. This is the release that the machine was running. However, doing boot net of this same boot image panics the machine (trying to mount root?). Same for Solaris 8 and 7. CD booting Solaris 7 doesn't panic (and presumably 8 and 9 wouldn't either, but as I'm preparing to divest of most of this Sun hardware, I don't have many SCSI CDROMs around (I have a Toshiba 3401, which is either 1X or 2X, and it can't find a bootblk on the Solaris 8, and cannot read the Solaris 9 CD-R I found) and I don't know. All of these netboot images work on my other two sun4m systems, a SPARCstation 5 and a SPARCstation 20. The only odd thing I can think of about the 10 is that it has a PrestoServe DIMM in it. Also, the 10's CPUs are 75MHz, and the 20s are 85MHz. Has anyone run into this problem, and/or have a solution I haven't tried yet that works?

The first part should be readable text, while the remaining parts are likely unreadable without MIME-aware tools. ---559023410-1804928587-1189430379=:1519 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed I've done more work on this since the problem is annoying me a bit more at present since I really want to stop using the external 80-pin drive to run the system off. 8-) I posted something in the newsgroups about the issue in the last few days in which I mentioned that I've replaced the generic 73 GB FCAL drive I was originally trying with two Sun-firmware'd Seagate 36 GB FCAL drives. Tonight I tried an idea gleaned from some system-migrations I've done in the past which is to boot off the Solaris 9 install media (DVD in this case since the SB1000 has a DVD drive), manually mount the root partition on the SCSI disk the system has been running off, erase /dev and /devices, then rebuild them with 'devfsadm -r root_path'. When the DVD booted, the FCAL drives were detected without any problems. When I mounted the root partition of the 80-pin SCSI drive I'm running the system off and rebuilt /dev and /devices, 'devfsadm' properly created all the devices nodes and links for the two FCAL drives. To test what would happen I replaced the path_to_inst file in /etc of the system drive with '#path_to_inst_bootstrap_1' and rebooted the system with 'reboot -- -rsv'. (see note below) What happened was that the FCAL drives were not detected with Solaris 9 booted off the normal SCSI drive, and the 'ssd' driver module wasn't loaded into the kernel (I checked with 'modinfo'). I can load it manually, however it doesn't make the OS see the FCAL drives when I run 'devfsadm', nor do they show up when I run 'format'. The device links created when I ran devfsadm with Solaris 9 running off the DVD are still in /dev. For example, here are a couple of the links: 2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 70 Sep 10 21:27 c3t1d0s0 -> ../../devices/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4/fp@0,0/ssd@w21000004cf7f1654,0:a 2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 70 Sep 10 21:27 c3t1d0s1 -> ../../devices/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4/fp@0,0/ssd@w21000004cf7f1654,0:b and so on. The system has an additional PCI SCSI card installed to run a scanner, etc. seperately from the main system disk which is itself on the system-board's external SCSI channel. The fact that the FCAL drives don't show up with Solaris 9 starts off the normal system disk even with these device nodes created by the manual use of devfsadm as described above is suggesting to me a missing software package or some sort of config problem with packages already installed but so far I haven't identified what could be missing or wrong. As well as the main fibre channel ones (SUNWfcp, SUNWfcpx, SUNWfcip, SUNWfcipx, SUNWfctl, SUNWfctlx), I've already got the SSA-related ones installed too which bring in things like 'luxadm', etc. and the ssd driver (SUNWses, SUNWsesx, SUNWluxop, SUNWluxox, SUNWssad, SUNWssadx). I had a look at the ssd.conf file and didn't see anything wrong with it, though I've included it as an attachment if anyone wants to check it out. Let me know if you think of anything while I go off to get some sleep! 8-) Regards, Craig. Note from above - possibly doing a reconfiguration boot after rebuilding /dev and /devices from scratch was not the right thing to try, so tomorrow I might do the same process again but not do the reconfig boot. However going off the results so far, it might not change the outcome when re-running Solaris 9 off the existing system disk. -- Post by Craig Dewick (tm). Web @ "http://lios.apana.org.au/~cdewick".

controller? One of the dual-channel Symbios 22801 cards would be ideal, or one of the PCI SunSwift cards with single-channel SCSI + ethernet (x1032a) will do the job too. Sun supports the 22801 card as the x6540a (and the 22802 which is the HVD version of it as X6541a). Both those cards have a pair of VHDCI connectors for external devices. Sun also supports single-channel Symbios 8751 card (x5010a). The 8951 cards should also work but some of the 8951's have a revision of the Symbios ASIC that the 'glm' driver doesn't support. The 'glm' driver will work with just about all PCI SCSI cards using the 53c875, 53c876, and related ASIC's. I've tested a varied bunch of non-Sun PCI SCSI cards without many problems. Some of the ones which the 'glm' driver doesn't work with have 3rd-party device drivers though that's not the best solution unless those cards give you a feature you can't get with run of the mill Symbios/LSI-based SCSI cards. The system handbook section on Sun-supported SCSI cards is at: ttp://www.sunshack.org/data/sh/2.1/infoserver.central/data/syshbk/Devices/SCSI/SCSI_TOC.html Check the PCI section. Lots more than those will work, but grab a Sun-barcoded card if you want to be sure. Craig. -- Post by Craig Dewick (tm). Web @ "http://lios.apana.org.au/~cdewick".

I'll cross-reference with the Solaris 9 9/05 CD's I have here and see... Yes that was indeed the problem! The SUNWqlc and SUNWqlcx packages were missing (and it didn't even occur to be to check through the package list for any referencing 'qlc' or 'Qlogic'!). So now that I've installed them off the Solaris 9 DVD, the internal drives are showing up after a re-run of 'devfsadm'. Shows how something simple is easy to overlook. 8-) I'll check through the uninstalled patches from the 9_Recommended.zip file now and see if any depend on the SUNWqlc/qlcx packages before they can be installed.

The best answer for an E450 though, (if you can find one) would be the internal backplane kit.

Someone here in Oz has a quad of 480 MHz CPU's for sale with VRM's, but I don't know if my E450 has the right system board to support them. I'm also jobless at present otherwise I'd buy them anyway! Pair of 400's is fine for now. The temp alarms are coming on regularly. I wonder if the 480's would be better for thermal efficiency. sigh. Craig. -- Post by Craig Dewick (tm).
