I'm trying to get a Fujitsu model MCM3130SS-S, 1.3GB magneto-optical
(M-O), drive working under Sun Sparc Solaris 7. Hardware is a Sun
AXi motherboard.
probe-scsi-all reports:
/pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@1,1
Target 0
Unit 0 Removable Device type 7 FUTJITSU MCM3130SS-S 0020
But "boot -r" fails to create anything in /dev or /devices. I see
nothing during boot, or in the output of dmesg, to indicate the
system is aware of the M-O drives existence. Putting a disk
cartridge in the drive makes no difference. (Note: These carts. are
unformatted.)
The only suggestions I've seen so far, in other venues, is to either
try a 3rd-party open source package called "sformat," buy a
commercial package or upgrade to Solaris 9.
Fujitsu tech. support swears it should be possible to make this unit
work under Solaris. They say they've had customers using these M-O
drives ever since the 128MB models, up to the present. But they have
no help for me other than to say (paraphrased) "We've had customers
do this, but we don't know how and we don't offer support for this
product on Sun's operating systems."
Any ideas?
TIA,
Jim
