Hi gents, I've recently ran into a problem. The client is asking us not to do Network Installation on their premises and we have to install Solaris on T1000 servers. Right now I have about 6 servers (with a few more on the way) that I've upgraded to the latest firmware (OpenBoot 4.30.3). I see the USB controller in the PCI device tree on OpenBoot, but it doesn't show anything attached.
As per question #25 from http://www.sun.com/io_technologies/usb/USB-Faq.html , I was expecting for this to work, but apparently it doesn't. Any insights? The preinstalled Solaris sees the USB DVD-ROM. When it starts up, the firmware shows the devices, but browsing to them shows empty "folders" Here's the output of the OBP: SC Alert: Host System has Reset cpu cpu cpu cpu cpu cpu cpu cpu cpu cpu cpu cpu cpu cpu cpu cpu cpu cpu cpu cpu cpu cpu cpu cpu Device: pci Device: ebus /ebus at 800: serial Device: pci /pci at 780: Device 0 pci /pci at 780/pci at 0: Device 0 usb usb usb /pci at 780/pci at 0: Device 1 Nothing there (...) /pci at 7c0: Device 0 pci /pci at 7c0/pci at 0: Device 4 network network /pci at 7c0/pci at 0: Device 8 pci /pci at 7c0/pci at 0/pci at 8: Device 1 network network /pci at 7c0/pci at 0/pci at 8: Device 2 scsi tape disk (...)
