Old SCSI disk not supported on Solaris 2.4 ?

Old SCSI disk not supported on Solaris 2.4 ?

Post by Henrik Schul » Fri, 08 Sep 1995 04:00:00



We have a SPARC Classic system that runs our FTP server.
We reused a 4-5 year old MAXTOR 760Mb SCSI disk, and that ran
fine under Solaris 2.2.

Today I upgraded the system to Solaris 2.4, and to my big
surprise the can't system create the /dev -> /devices links
for that device at boot time.
Other disks works OK, and the probe-scsi command can see the
old MAXTOR disk OK, so it doesn't look like it's the controller
that has died on me.

So, the situation is that I have all the FTP data on a disk
drive that I can't access... bummer!

Is it true that the SCSI drivers in Solaris 2.4 dropped support
for such older disks? Would there be additional drivers I can
install from the net somewhere?

Any input is appreciated! Our FTP server is dead!!!

Thanks, Henrik

 
 
 

1. Solaris 2.4 x86 on 2nd SCSI Disk?

Hi all!

I'm a newbie to Solaris x86, and having an install problem.
I have 2 scsi drives on my machine.  I'd like to have Win95
on the first drive and Solaris on the second drive.

What I did was install Win95 first, then installed Solaris.  It
said something about "since not installing on c0t0d0, will need
to use boot disk".  I proceeded anyway, and sure enough, next
boot, I just got the "Starting Windows 95.." boot and no option
to boot Solaris on the 2nd disk.

Question is: how do I make this boot disk?  Better yet, how can
I setup my booting hard disk so I can choose which OS to boot?

Thanks for any help!
