The c3t0d0? stuff is the removable media controller (c3 bit) on your hardware managed by the rm manager. You could try deleting the device node that it is trying to format, eg,

Code:
rm -f /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s0
rm -f /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s0

or whatever.

See what device nodes exist starting c3......

If the device really doesn't exist, the removable media manager may not recreate the device node thereby fixing the problem.
Oh, that could be fun if c3 is the USB controller and the box has a USB mouse and/or keyboard. Smilie

A reconfiguration reboot via "reboot -- -r" would probably clean it all up. That's a really old version of Solaris, and IIRC the handling of USB devices back then wasn't all that good.

Look at "cfgadm" and "devfsadm" man pages, too.

Here is
Code:
find /vol -ls

output

Code:
devfsadm -Cv

is a great command, but did not help. Smilie

Post the content of:

Code:
 
 /kernel/drv/scsa2usb.conf

and compare with your working system if you can.


Refer to:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/...-12/index.html

regarding USB on Solaris 10u6
See this link for instructions to remove the respective driver.
