dvd/cdrom missing after solaris 10 jumpstart

Hi everybody

Having a strange problem on a x4270m2 Sun server.
Jumpstarting it from dvd drive. After install the dvddrive does not exist.
Be aware jumpstart is custommade

 
bash-3.00# mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c1t4d0p0 /cdrom
mount: No such device
mount: cannot mount /dev/dsk/c1t4d0p0

iostat reveals only the hwraid volume

 
bash-3.00# iostat -E 
sd1 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 
Vendor: LSI Product: Logical Volume Revision: 3000 Serial No: 
Size: 299.00GB <298999348736 bytes>
Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 
Illegal Request: 2 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0 

Booting from dvd/Cdrom is ok, so hardware works ok.
TEAC DV-W28SS-V
Could it be a driver issue ? & how do I detect that

for mount

# lofiadm -a /path/to/cd.iso

Output:

/dev/lofi/1

# mount -o ro -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt
# cd /mnt
# ls -l
# df -k /mnt

Mount the loopback device as a randomly accessible file system with:

mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/lofi/X /mnt.

Note: If output messege says that "device is busy" use -d parameter after than init 6.
for umount

# umount /mnt

# lofiadm -d /dev/lofi/1

# man lofiadm

HI Getrue

Will try tomorrow - silly me forgot to insert a cd

same experience as with mount command

bash-3.00# lofiadm -a /dev/dsk/c1t4d0p0 
lofiadm: open: /dev/dsk/c1t4d0p0: No such file or directory
bash-3.00# lofiadm -a /dev/rdsk/c1t4d0p0
lofiadm: open: /dev/rdsk/c1t4d0p0: No such file or directory
bash-3.00# lofiadm -a /dev/rdsk/c1t4d0s0
lofiadm: open: /dev/rdsk/c1t4d0s0: No such file or directory
bash-3.00# lofiadm -a /dev/rdsk/c1t4d0s0
bash-3.00# 
 
bash-3.00# ls -la /dev/dsk/c1t4d0p0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          51 Jan 11 03:07 /dev/dsk/c1t4d0p0 -> ../../devices/pci@0,0/pci108e,4849@1f,2/cdrom@4,0:q
bash-3.00# ls -la /dev/dsk/c1t4d0s0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          51 Jan 11 03:07 /dev/dsk/c1t4d0s0 -> ../../devices/pci@0,0/pci108e,4849@1f,2/cdrom@4,0:a
bash-3.00#

what is the output of rmformat ?

btw. your handling of the lofiadm command is completly wrong! please read the manpage...

You should use like below;

#lofiadm -a /test/solaris.iso

not

#lofiadm -a /dev/dsk

Yes i see now it was a workaround to avoid using the drive

I have no rmformat command . It may have been "hardened out" in this custom jumpstart disc.

Today i tried to change the sata-mode from ahci to ide/compatibility mode in the bios, but still no beef (remembered touch /reconfigure before boot)

Sorry about my ignorance regarding lofiadm :o

Is this a replacement DVD drive or is it the original?

The original dvd drive which was just used to do the install - so HW is ok

I can boot from dvd drive as well

I think that the files in devices directory points to that a cdrom is detected

 
bash-3.00# ls -la /dev/dsk/c1t4d0p0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          51 Jan 11 03:07 /dev/dsk/c1t4d0p0 -> ../../devices/pci@0,0/pci108e,4849@1f,2/cdrom@4,0:q
bash-3.00# ls -la /dev/dsk/c1t4d0s0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          51 Jan 11 03:07 /dev/dsk/c1t4d0s0 -> ../../devices/pci@0,0/pci108e,4849@1f,2/cdrom@4,0:a
bash-3.00#

bios also indicates a sata device in the 4'th port
