Full Discussion: Solaris can't detect external HDD on HP server
Operating Systems Solaris Solaris can't detect external HDD on HP server Post 302922806 by Aratai on Tuesday 28th of October 2014 11:45:56 AM

@jlliagre: I would like to put any FS that Solaris would recognize, but I didn't find a (freeware) tool on the net which lets me do so.

@hicksd8:
The format on that USB drive could be any that Solaris can read (UFS, ZFS,...).

I tried rmformat -l, but I simply don't get the exHDD which I pluged in.
This is all I get (only the DVD drive):
Code:
root@...:/# rmformat -l
Looking for devices...
     1. Logical Node: /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0p0
        Physical Node: /pci@0,0/pci-ide@1f,2/ide@1/sd@0,0
        Connected Device: hp       DVDROM DT80N     DA00
        Device Type: DVD Reader
root@ossrc1:/#

I tried that with or without the volfs. The fdisk, I didn't try.

Could it be that the problem is in the USB 3.0 port and that the server doesn't support that? or
Could it be that the disk needs to have its own power cord?

sysdef

sysdef(1M)                                                System Administration Commands                                                sysdef(1M)

NAME

       sysdef - output system definition

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/sysdef [-i] [-n namelist]

       /usr/sbin/sysdef [-h] [-d] [-i] [-D]

DESCRIPTION

       The  sysdef utility outputs the current system definition in tabular form. It lists all hardware devices, as well as pseudo devices, system
       devices, loadable modules, and the values of selected kernel tunable parameters.

       It generates the output by analyzing the named bootable operating system file (namelist) and extracting the configuration information  from
       it.

       The default system namelist is /dev/kmem.

OPTIONS

       -i              Prints  the  configuration information from /dev/kmem. This is the default and only needs to be specified if the configura-
                       tion information from both /dev/kmem and the system file specified with the "-n namelist" option is needed.

       -nnamelist      Specifies a namelist other than the default (/dev/kmem). The namelist specified must be a valid bootable operating system.

       -h              Prints the identifier of the current host in hexadecimal. This numeric value is unique across all Sun hosts.

       -d              The output includes the configuration of system peripherals formatted as a device tree.

       -D              For each system peripheral in the device tree, display the name of the device driver used to manage the peripheral.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Sample output format

       The following example displays the format of the sysdef -d output:
