Sun Enterprise 4500 : CDROM failed to be recognized by openboot

807559Dec 22 2006 — edited Mar 15 2007
hello,

I bought a sun enterprise 4500 to run java applications.
However I failed to boot on the CDROM to install solaris 10. In fact the CDROM is powered but I can not see in the system and I can't access it. It is the same thing with the harddrives in the disk board.
The system has 12 Sparc II 400 CPUs and 12Go so :
6 boards CPUs/Mem
1 Disk board with 2 disks with 18Go
1 CDROM
I have checked the SCSI plug and the disk board is in slot 3.
The SCSI cable is fine ...

I tried some OpenBoot command :
probe-scsi -> it gives nothing !!!
probe-scsi-all -> /sbus@3,0/SUNW,fas@3,8800000/

The only problem that I see is the clock board which has an orange led and following the documentation it seems that the board is not running well.

I start to be nuts.


I gives the test log files of the system when it starts and I have seen that the diskboard is recognized and tested but I can not access it through the Openboot ...

Any idea before I panic :) , please ?

Regards
Seb

Firstly. thank you for providing that amount of data.
It is refreshing to have enough information to begin to help.
I know you have examined it, but I see no obvious problems in what you copied to here.
No blatant failures found by POST.
The OBP firmware on the I/O board is below everything else (rev 27 versus rev 30),
but that would not specifically cause the system to fail to function.

The "internal" SCSI path to the removable media bay in those systems,
(optical drive and DDS tape drive if it is installed)
does not rely on any external cabling. Your CD drive may simply be dead.
Substitute another one to make sure.


A disk board is treated in the same fashion as an external MultiPak or Array.
You must have a SCSI cable connected to it from your I/O board if you hope
to establish a data path to the drives. No cable? No disks.
POST sees the disk drives, so despite no output from probe-scsi-all,
I think you are okay in that respect. That suggests the cable is indeed fine as you thought.

Unfortunately, I have no magic answer why the OBP probe failed to see the diskboard.

Here is a link to the E4500's resource page in the SSH.
http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/E4500/E4500.html
just in case you haven't found it yet, and so that the link is here for others that
read this thread in the future.


As for the lights you see on the system ...
E4000/E4500 LED patterns and meanings (3rd party web site)
If the only active light is the wrench light, then you may consider
that it needs to be replaced. (another trip out to Ebay, perhaps?)

=======
Thinking more and more on this, and just before I click on "Post the reply" ...
... internal SCSI needs to use the SCSI chipset on an I/O board ...
... your disk board needs to use the SCSI chipset on your I/O board ...
... probe didn't find any SCSI devices of any sort ...

I realize the I/O board passed POST without error, but it may be a bad board.

Perhaps other forum contributors can jump in here with their thoughts.

Thank you for your help and I am sorry to answer so lately.

I have succeed to boot with a Sftp connection and an image of Ubuntu ( my goal is to install solaris ! but i did not get an boot image ).

I decided to buy a new SCSI I/O board card as I think the SCSI interface is dead. I am going to install it next week.
Now I have spare parts, so I can check everything. This is an interesting point to learn more about my new server.

I will let you know what s going on.
Thanks again for your answer, I deeply appreciate.

Regards.

I finally found the solution :
I used a bad SCSI terminator ... the terminator was a differencial SCSI and the system needs a SEMI-ENDED SCSI terminator.

So the symptomes are clear :
the SCSI bus is present but not devices are recognized.

Shame on me ...

I changed the terminator by a good one and now it works : my station works very well
