Two more people to thank with their replies: <jreid@vnet.net> Octave Orgeron <unixconsole@yahoo.com> Carolyn ########################################### From: Joe Reid <jreid@vnet.net> No direct help, but when I put my usb2.0 drive in my usb 1.1 sun (ax1105-500 sparc engine board) there's a message in /var/adm/messages listing the devices, I'm pretty sure I succeeded getting them mounted - no, not as a non-root user. But that should point you in the rigth direction. FWIW, I was using sol10... my drives was a PQI I-stick2 512mb ########################################### From: Octave Orgeron <unixconsole@yahoo.com> I would recommend that you use Solaris 10 GA for usb devices. It has support for memory sticks, usb mass storage, cameras, keyboards/mice, cd burners, etc. In Solaris 9, some of these devices were supported, but a normal user could not unmount them. This has changed in Solaris 10. You can setup RBAC on S9 to grant media management to a user. ------------- Begin Forwarded Message ------------- Delivered-To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org Date: Fri, 11 Mar 2005 11:54:59 -0500 (EST) From: Carolyn Mayr {ITSD/CS} <carolyn@cs.usna.edu> To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org Thanks so much to: John Malick <john@starinc.com> the hatter <sunmanagers@bang.meep.org> Will Dowling <william.m.dowling@nuim.ie> David A Stewart <David.Stewart@ee.ed.ac.uk> "NO UCE" <nouce@mighty.co.za> Replies have been posted below. Carolyn Mayr ########################################### From: "NO UCE" <nouce@mighty.co.za> I have used USB memory sticks - no hassles - on a SB100. SB50, V240, V280R and ... and Ultra 10 with a NEC USB card :-) The big thing is to insert the usb device, stop volume management, mkdir /rmdisk and restart. Thereafter all works: eject rmdisk etc - till you reboot . Then you have to redo unless device is inserted while rebooting. www.sun.com/bigadmin has some docs on this. USB2.0 support is only available in Sol 9. Make sure you are patched to data for Sol 8 for acceptable USB support. ########################################### From: David A Stewart <David.Stewart@ee.ed.ac.uk> Here's how we do it in Solaris 8 on SunBlade 1500s. 1. When you plug the device in a few lines appear in /var/adm/messages from scsa2usb. Find the appropriate line and note the device name. 2. Look through /dev/dsk to find the appropriate symbolic links. Pick the first one. 3. Add ":c" to the end of the symbolic link and mount it. 4. Remember to unmount it before you remove the device. Doing it from the shell looks something like this. # grep "(scsa2usb.) online" /var/adm/messages Mar 10 16:01:15 myhost unix: /pci@1e,600000/usb@a/storage@1 (scsa2usb2) online # ls -l /dev/dsk | grep "/pci@1e,600000/usb@a/storage@1" lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 54 Apr 1 2004 c3t0d0s0 -> ../../devices/pci@1e,600000/usb@a/storage@1/disk@0,0:a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 54 Apr 1 2004 c3t0d0s1 -> ../../devices/pci@1e,600000/usb@a/storage@1/disk@0,0:b lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 54 Apr 1 2004 c3t0d0s2 -> ../../devices/pci@1e,600000/usb@a/storage@1/disk@0,0:c lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 54 Apr 1 2004 c3t0d0s3 -> ../../devices/pci@1e,600000/usb@a/storage@1/disk@0,0:d lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 54 Apr 1 2004 c3t0d0s4 -> ../../devices/pci@1e,600000/usb@a/storage@1/disk@0,0:e lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 54 Apr 1 2004 c3t0d0s5 -> ../../devices/pci@1e,600000/usb@a/storage@1/disk@0,0:f lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 54 Apr 1 2004 c3t0d0s6 -> ../../devices/pci@1e,600000/usb@a/storage@1/disk@0,0:g lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 54 Apr 1 2004 c3t0d0s7 -> ../../devices/pci@1e,600000/usb@a/storage@1/disk@0,0:h # mount -Fpcfs /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s0:c /mnt If it fails to mount then the device is probably incompatible. And then to unmount it's just... # umount /mnt This all has to be done as root. If you script it and make the script setuid root then anyone can do it. We have two scripts "usbmount" and "usbunmount" This has been written and researched by my collegue Chris Rudd (Chris.Rudd@ed.ac.uk). We find that not all USB devices work, only some. Chris has recently updated the scripts to cover the situation where folk remove the USB devices befoer running the "usbunmount" command. We can send the scripts if you would like to see them. ########################################### From: Will Dowling <william.m.dowling@nuim.ie> What you could do is plug in the usb device and then su to root. issue the commands /etc/init.d/volmgt stop then /etc/init.d/volmgt start the usb device will then automount. The usb device can now automount everytime you plug it in. You won't have to issue those commands again. But you must do that for each different type of usb device. Hope that helps. ########################################### From: the hatter <sunmanagers@bang.meep.org> I can do you the first half, but not the second, so hope fully someone's got the full answer for you, because that'd be useful. I don't use vold, so if you're frequently adding and removing combinations of usb devices, then it'll be a bit irritating to keep changing the exact device name. In /etc/vfstab, I have : /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s0:1 - /mounts/clie pcfs - no rw Or from the commandline: mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s0:1 /mounts/clie That's using one of the usb2 ports on the back of my blade1500, if you're using one of the front-mounted usb1.1 ports, try c1t0d0s0:1 as the device. I'm not quite sure how all the numbering for bus and device works, but worst case, ls -lL /dev/dsk will show you the dates the devices were last created, so you can see which one you just created when you plugged it in. The :1 bit is solaris's way of saying "first dos-like partition table". I guess you've looked at /var/adm/messages and it lists something deep and meaningful like: Mar 10 15:39:46 angel usba10: [ID 855233 kern.info] USB-device: storage@2, usba10_scsa2usb0 at bus address 2 Mar 10 15:39:46 angel usba10: [ID 349649 kern.info] Sony PEG Mass Storage Mar 10 15:39:46 angel genunix: [ID 936769 kern.info] usba10_scsa2usb0 is /pci@1e,600000/pci@2/usb@8,1/storage@2 Mar 10 15:39:46 angel genunix: [ID 408114 kern.info] /pci@1e,600000/pci@2/usb@8,1/storage@2 (usba10_scsa2usb0) online (and several more lines of address mapping junk) ########################################### From: John Malick <john@starinc.com> I have had issues with my SunBlade150 as well but figured out a scenario that works. The SB1500 may be the same. What I found may not be applicable in your situation since it requires reboots: 1. Insert the USB memory stick 2. Perform a reconfigure boot Vold mounts it for you.. The problem is that if you have another USB stick, even the same brand, and insert that it won't automount unless you do another reconfigure reboot (PAIN). The user would then 'eject rmdisk' from the command line to unmount. You can re-insert it at any time and it automounts. If it does not automount you need to become root user and run the following: # mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s0:c /mnt The controller/target may be different for you. Since this method did not automount you must umount it manually as well before removing to reduce the risk of losing data. Hope this helps.
