"NO HARD Disks found" while installing Solaris 10 (latest-6/06) on Poweredge 2950.
We get the error "NO HARD Disks found" while installing Solaris 10 (latest-6/06) on Poweredge 2950.
We found that the LSISAS1068 driver is needed for this. But the provision is given only to install the driver using the floppy (in downloads site). But we dont have a floppy drive in our system and external USB floppy drive is not being recognised by Solaris (If we choose "Apply driver" option while installing and then choose "F" for floppy). We tried connecting the floopy in both front and back USB ports.
So we made an ISO image of the floppy and burnt it onto the CD. while installing solaris we select option 5 "apply driver". Now if insert the CD having driver and enter option "C" for CD it says extracting the software in /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p0. But nothing happens after that.
When we continue installing the OS we get the same error of disks not found.
Then when we get a shell prompt we mounted the driver CD and then installed the driver using the install.sh present in tools directory of the driver CD. The installation is successful but if we execute devfsadm also the new disks are not found.
It would be great if somebody could help in this regard.
