Copying files unto a usb pendrive/external disk from Solaris 9
Hi all,
Can anybody help me with how I can connect a usb pendrive or external disk to a Sun Server which runs on Solaris 9? I am able to connect the usb drive to a windows server easily and copy files but am wondering if it is possible to do that with Solaris.
Any help will be appreciated. thanks.

Is there a way to install Solaris 10 x86 with an external DVD drive that connects through the USB port? I would think I would run GRUB off of a floppy disk and somehow use that to make it look to the USB port to boot from but I don't know how to do that. Can anyone help me out? (1 Reply)

usb_get_current_frame_number
usb_get_current_frame_number(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers usb_get_current_frame_number(9F)
NAME
usb_get_current_frame_number - Return current logical usb frame number
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/usb/usba.h>
usb_frame_number_t usb_get_current_frame_number(dev_info_t *dip);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI)
PARAMETERS
dip Pointer to the device's dev_info structure.
DESCRIPTION
The usb_get_current_frame_number() function retrieves the current logical USB frame number.
Isochronous requests can be started on a particular numbered frame. An offset number of frames (typically between 4 and 10) can be added to
the current logical frame number to specify the number of an upcoming frame to start an isochronous request.
The USB specification requires that the frame frequency (the period between start-of-frame packets) is one millisecond. The Solaris oper-
ating environment USB implementation uses a running counter of the number of milliseconds since boot as the current logical frame number.
RETURN VALUES
On success, the usb_get_current_frame_number() function returns the current USB frame number. On failure it returns 0. The function fails
if dip is NULL.
CONTEXT
May be called from user, kernel or interrupt context.
EXAMPLES
usb_pipe_handle_t handle;
usb_frame_number_t offset = 10;
usb_isoc_req_t *isoc_req;
isoc_req = usb_alloc_isoc_req(...);
...
...
isoc_req->isoc_frame_no = usb_get_current_frame_number(dip) + offset;
isoc_req->isoc_attributes = USB_ATTRS_ISOC_START_FRAME;
...
...
if (usb_pipe_isoc_xfer(handle, isoc_req, 0) != USB_SUCCESS) {
...
}
