Hello everybody.
There is a small trouble with Solaris 10 (SPARC) workstation.
The system finds every time non-existent rmdisk and issues Media Format window which offers to format that device.
There are not any connected usb device in usb ports (with the exception of keyboard + mouse).
How to remove non-existent device or disable window appearance?
The "Format" button is not aktive. I can not input "label name".
I don't undestand where system takes c3t0d0? There was only one disk (c0t0d0) in the box.
Here is version. I have looked at another box. It has identical Sol version and has not any problem.
Probably everybody put a disk or flash and the system wrote it somewhere. But where?
Great suggestion from jlliagre in post#12. Yes, try that.
The c3t0d0? stuff is the removable media controller (c3 bit) on your hardware managed by the rm manager. You could try deleting the device node that it is trying to format, eg,
rm -f /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s0
rm -f /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s0
or whatever.
See what device nodes exist starting c3......
If the device really doesn't exist, the removable media manager may not recreate the device node thereby fixing the problem.
Oh, that could be fun if c3 is the USB controller and the box has a USB mouse and/or keyboard.
A reconfiguration reboot via "reboot -- -r" would probably clean it all up. That's a really old version of Solaris, and IIRC the handling of USB devices back then wasn't all that good.
