Having a strange problem on a x4270m2 Sun server.
Jumpstarting it from dvd drive. After install the dvddrive does not exist.
Be aware jumpstart is custommade
Code:
bash-3.00# mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c1t4d0p0 /cdrom
mount: No such device
mount: cannot mount /dev/dsk/c1t4d0p0
iostat reveals only the hwraid volume
Code:
bash-3.00# iostat -E
sd1 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0
Vendor: LSI Product: Logical Volume Revision: 3000 Serial No:
Size: 299.00GB <298999348736 bytes>
Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0
Illegal Request: 2 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0
Booting from dvd/Cdrom is ok, so hardware works ok.
TEAC DV-W28SS-V
Could it be a driver issue ? & how do I detect that
