Operating Systems Solaris "NO HARD Disks found" while installing Solaris 10 (latest-6/06) on Poweredge 2950. Post 302100017 by S.Vishwanath on Friday 15th of December 2006 11:15:10 AM

"NO HARD Disks found" while installing Solaris 10 (latest-6/06) on Poweredge 2950.

We get the error "NO HARD Disks found" while installing Solaris 10 (latest-6/06) on Poweredge 2950.

We found that the LSISAS1068 driver is needed for this. But the provision is given only to install the driver using the floppy (in downloads site). But we dont have a floppy drive in our system and external USB floppy drive is not being recognised by Solaris (If we choose "Apply driver" option while installing and then choose "F" for floppy). We tried connecting the floopy in both front and back USB ports.

So we made an ISO image of the floppy and burnt it onto the CD. while installing solaris we select option 5 "apply driver". Now if insert the CD having driver and enter option "C" for CD it says extracting the software in /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p0. But nothing happens after that.
When we continue installing the OS we get the same error of disks not found.

Then when we get a shell prompt we mounted the driver CD and then installed the driver using the install.sh present in tools directory of the driver CD. The installation is successful but if we execute devfsadm also the new disks are not found.

It would be great if somebody could help in this regard.

FDFORMAT(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					       FDFORMAT(1)

NAME
fdformat -- format a floppy diskette SYNOPSIS
fdformat [-f device] [-t type] [-n] [-B nbps] [-S nspt] [-T ntrk] [-C ncyl] [-P stepspercyl] [-G gaplen] [-F fillbyte] [-X xfer_rate] [-I interleave] DESCRIPTION
The fdformat utility formats a floppy diskette. With no arguments, it formats the default floppy device with the default density parameters (as provided by the floppy diskette device driver). As the each track of the floppy diskette is formatted, it is read to verify the format was successful. The fdformat utility does not create a filesystem of any kind. Use tools like newfs(8), newfs_msdos(8), or mformat(1) (part of the pkgsrc/sysutils/mtools package) depending on what filesystem type you want to use on the floppy disk to do so. Available command-line flags are: -f device Format the floppy using device instead of the default /dev/rfd0a. -t type Format the floppy using parameters for the diskette named type in /etc/floppytab instead of the device default parameters. -n Do not verify each track as it is read. -B nbps Set the number of bytes per sector for the formatted diskette. -S nspt Set the number of sectors per track for the formatted diskette. -T ntrk Set the number of tracks (heads) per cylinder for the formatted diskette. -C ncyl Set the number of cylinders for the formatted diskette. -P stepspercyl Set the number of motor steps per cylinder for the formatted diskette. -G gaplen Set the sector gap length for the formatted diskette. -F fillbyte Set the fill byte for the formatted diskette. -X xfer_rate Set the bit transfer rate for the formatted diskette. -I interleave Set the interleave factor for the formatted diskette. SEE ALSO
fdc(4) (amiga, i386 and sparc ports) HISTORY
The fdformat utility appeared in NetBSD 1.3. BUGS
Some floppy drive units have physical diskette format sensors which automatically select a diskette density for reading. Such drives can format at alternate densities, but they cannot successfully verify the formatted diskette except at the diskette's normal density. BSD
