Hi managers,
I don't use my DVD drive very often, but the last time I did it worked like
it should on my Ultra60.
But now, when I put in solaris 9 CD1 into the DVD player now, nothing
happens.
The device is not dead: the yellow lamp blinks once or twice, and I can hear
some spinning around inside.
Then there is silence.
The CD itself is allright since I use it on other machines.
So I disabled volmgt and did a manual mount of the CD
$ mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c0t4d0s0 /cdrom
mount: /dev/dsk/c0t4d0s0 no such device
To be sure of the fysical connection I checked:
$ cfgadm -al
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant
Condition
c0 scsi-bus connected configured
unknown
c0::dsk/c0t0d0 disk connected configured
unknown
c0::dsk/c0t1d0 disk connected configured
unknown
c0::dsk/c0t4d0 CD-ROM connected configured
unknown
c1 scsi-bus connected unconfigured
unknown
c3 scsi-bus connected unconfigured
unknown
c4 scsi-bus connected unconfigured
unknown
So the device is there and there is a connection.
Then I checked for errors of any kind:
$iostat -En
c0t4d0 Soft Errors: 1 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0
Vendor: TOSHIBA Product: DVD-ROM SD-M1401 Revision: 1007 Serial No:
Size: 0.00GB <0 bytes>
We 've got ourselves a soft error here...
So I went to take a look on the low level, went to the OK prompt, and typed:
OK>boot cdrom -s
Boot device: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@4,0:f
Can't open boot device
Then I did the next checks:
OK>probe-scsi all
Target 4
Unit 0 Removeable Read Only Device Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-M14011007
OK> printenv
nvramrc devalias cdrom /pci@1f,4... (the dots are litterally there)
OK> devalias cdrom
/pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@4,0:f
Since my OBP skills are very rusty, I find myself out of options what to do
next, or what to check.
Could a change of alias be the solution here?
If yes, then I should have to know where to change to...
I hope you guru's can help out on this one.
Much obliged.
Kuba
