Trying to get a USB 2.0 external 120GB hard drive working under Solaris 8
SPARC. I can access the drive OK under Solaris 9 x86 but the Solaris 8
SPARC Sun Blade 150 just won't do anything useful with it.
I've put every USB patch on I can find in subscription SunSolve. I've run the
usbconfig.txt script from BigADmin to switch the machine to the newer USBA
framework and I've done a reconfigure reboot. Now I'm at a loss. We want to
do some secure non-network data transfer and hoped this would be an easy and
economical solution.
The machine can see and mounts in /rmdisk any memory cards in a USB2.0 card
reader. It lists this external hard drive in the messages file:
Dec 14 17:58:31 st5 genunix: [ID 936769 kern.info] usb_sd5 is /pci@1f,0/usb@c,3/storage@3/disk@0,
Dec 14 17:58:31 st5 genunix: [ID 408114 kern.info] /pci@1f,0/usb@c,3/storage@3/disk@0,1 (usb_sd5) online
The disk has a ufs formatted slice 6 partition.
Nothing appears in format or in rmdisk.
SunOS st5 5.8 Generic_117000-05 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-100
Am I missing something or not doing something?
If I try and mount what looks like the drive, I get:
mount: /dev/dsk/c4t0d3s6 is already mounted, /mnt is busy,
or the allowable number of mount points has been exceeded
When it isn't.
Regards,
Nick
