Lost password on a SPARCstation Voyager

Hi, I got hold of a SUN SPARCstation Voyager today, but I don't have the root password. I made a linux bootdisk and tried to sue that to edit the shadow file, but it comes up saying "magic number" (since it's not a UFS floppy). I haven't got any recovery disks for it, and no documentation. ...

SPARCstation 5 broadcasting

Hey guys...hopefully this will be a fairly easy one. I've got an old SPARCstation 5 running Sun 5.5.1 that I just hooked up to the network so that I can run HP OpenView. The box is working fine, but it is broadcasting as a boot server. In other words, when co-workers come in and get ready to log...

SPARCSTATION 20 - No Video

I apologize in advance that this is probably more of a hardware question than a unix/software one. I've got a seemingly brand-new sparcstation 20 that came with 2 memory modules and that's about it. I've added a new 2 GB HDD and a VSIMM Onboard SX Graphics module. So, I assume with the...

scsi_address

scsi_address(9S)					    Data Structures for Drivers 					  scsi_address(9S)

NAME

       scsi_address - SCSI address structure

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/scsi/scsi.h>

INTERFACE LEVEL

       Solaris architecture specific (Solaris DDI)

DESCRIPTION

       A scsi_address structure defines the addressing components for a SCSI target device. The address of the target device is separated into two
       components: target number and logical unit number. The two addressing components are used to uniquely identify any  type  of  SCSI  device;
       however, most devices can be addressed with the target component of the address.

       In  the case where only the target component is used to address the device, the logical unit should be set to  0. If the SCSI target device
       supports logical units, then the HBA must interpret the logical units field of the data structure.

       The pkt_address member of a scsi_pkt(9S) is initialized by scsi_init_pkt(9F).

STRUCTURE MEMBERS

       scsi_hba_tran_t	 *a_hba_tran;  /* Transport vectors for the SCSI bus */
       ushort_t 	 a_target;     /* SCSI target id */
       uchar_t		 a_lun;        /* SCSI logical unit */

       a_hba_tran is a pointer to the controlling HBA's transport vector structure. The SCSA interface uses  this  field  to  pass  any  transport
       requests from the SCSI target device drivers to the HBA driver.

       a_target is the target component of the SCSI address.

       a_lun is the logical unit component of the SCSI address. The logical unit is used to further distinguish a SCSI target device that supports
       multiple logical units from one that does not. The makecom(9F) family of functions use the a_lun field to set the logical unit field in the
       SCSI CDB, for compatibility with SCSI-1.
