Symptoms

Neither the 8mm DAT drive nor DVD can be accessed in the M8000 domain(s).
The links to the devices under /dev/rmt and /dev/rdsk are not present.
The cfgadm -a command does not show them.

Changes

Cause

Checking the status from the XSCF using the cfgdevice command shows:


XSCF> cfgdevice -l
Current connection for DVD/DAT:
Expander status
Port No. IOU/SAS-status SAS-status
-----------------------------------
0-0 disable down disable down
1-0 disable down disable down

note the "disable" status.

Solution

On the Sun SPARC Enterprise M8000 and Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000-32 there is only one DVD/CDROM as well as only one DAT in the system.

Run the following from the XSCF to connect the DAT & DVD to the needed port based on the domain(s) configuration.

xscf> cfgdevice -q -y -c attach -p 0-0


Confirm that this has been attached by running

xscf> cfgdevice -l


This should now look like

Current connection for DVD/DAT:
Expander status
Port No. IOU/SAS-status SAS-status
-----------------------------------
0-0 enable up enable up
1-0 disable down disable down


Now check Solaris to see if these are available.

It's recommend to run the devfsadm command with the -nv flags to confirm what would be changed before making any changes.

# devfsadm -nv

(this will then list any changes that would be made running the devfsadm command without making any changes)

If happy with the changes that would be made then run the command with out the -n switch.

# devfsadm -v

The DAT drive and the DVD drive should now be available.


The cfgadm -a command will show them:


<...snip...>

c0::dsk/c0t4d0                 CD-ROM       connected    configured   unknown
c0::rmt/0                      tape         connected    configured   unknown

<...snip...>



Alternatively you can use the cfgadm command to configure the devices:

# cfgadm -c configure c0::dsk/c0t4d0
# cfgadm -c configure c0::rmt/0
