Trying to update my M5000 firmware. trying to mount my USB to upload firmware and getting the following message.
Code:
XSCF> getflashimage -v file:///media/usb_msd/FFXCP1115.tar.gz
Free space: 97MB
Making sure mount point is clear
umount: /media/usb_msd is not mounted (according to mtab)
Trying to mount USB device /dev/sda1 as /media/usb_msd
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device
Trying to mount USB device /dev/sda as /media/usb_msd
mount: /dev/sda is not a valid block device
Error: Unable to mount USB device.
Any ideas?

Hi all
A couple of new M5000 servers will be arriving soon and I need to work out how to configure the underlying domains.
It will come with 4 x CPUS, 32 Gb of memory, 4 x HD, 2 x IOtrays.
Reading the XSCF manual, I can configure the item into 2 domains, something about uni / quad xsb.... (9 Replies)
My previous post seems to be erased and I didn't get any help. I'm logged as root now but no mounting command seems to work, I've tried:
Mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /mnt/USB
Changing "sdc1" for hda1-7, and sdc1-7, and still nothing. Sometimes i get:
"special device not found" and others "device... (4 Replies)
I am very new to Solaris.
The machine I am working with is running Solaris 10.
I have a 1.5 TB hard drive plugged into a USB dock plugged into the Solaris machine. I ran 'cfgadm -al' and can see that the usb0/1 is usb-storage that was not there before.
How do i mount this drive and format... (3 Replies)

Hi,
I've configured this Sun M5000 to use two system domains (added a second domain to it). The following is the info about the settings. The showdevices command can't show devices on domain 1 because Solaris is not loaded on it yet.
My question: How can I confirm the hardware devices such as... (5 Replies)
Hi,
I would appreciate some help.
I remotely access, across a VPN, an M5000 and when I connect to the XSCF I can then access the OS using console -d0 and then I can get to the console.
The problem I have is that I need to run something which will take many hours and I can't run it in the... (6 Replies)
Hi all,
I'm developing a short program to look-up for all devices connected to the computer. Using udev and libusb libraries I achieved some progress but I can not find the way to find the mount point.
For instance, given a device that I can retrieve using libusb, I would like to know... (4 Replies)
Hi,
I'm planning to upgrade the XSCF firmware on an M5000, and have a question regarding the OBP part of the upgrade. At the moment, the system looks like this:
XCP0 (Current): 1100
OpenBoot PROM : 02.18.0000
XSCF : 01.10.0000
root@server01 # /usr/sbin/prtconf -V

fpga_load
FPGA_LOAD(8)FPGA_LOAD(8)NAME
fpga_load - Xorcom Astribank (xpp) firmware tool
SYNOPSIS
fpga_load [-g] [-r] [-v] -D {/proc/bus/usb|/dev/bus/usb}/BUS/DEV
fpga_load [-g] [-v] -D {/proc/bus/usb|/dev/bus/usb}/BUS/DEV -I firmware.hex [-b dump.bin] [-i]
fpga_load -h
DESCRIPTION
fpga_load loads the FPGA firmware to the Xorcom Astribank device. The syntax resembles that of fxload(8).
OPTIONS -b dump.bin
Before writing firmware, bump the processed binary file to dump.bin.
-D DEVICE
Required. The device to read from/write to. On modern UDEV-based system this is usually /dev/bus/usb/bus_num/device_num, where
bus_num and device_num are the first two numbers in the output of lsusb(8). On older systems that use usbfs, it is usually
/proc/bus/usb/bus_num/device_num.
-r
Reset the Astribank and renumerate its USB connection to power on product ID.
-g
Dump all eeprom data to standard output.
-I fireware_file
The firmware file to write to the device.
-i
Show information about the firmware file (valid only with -I option). Example:
./FPGA_1151.hex: Version=3297 Checksum=58270
In particular, the calculated checksum should match the output of sum(1) on the binary firmware file generated by the -b option.
-v
Increase verbosity. May be used multiple times.
-h
Displays usage message.
