:" i have an ultra-1 creator with200mhz cpu.
:"
:" it has four hard drives: two internal sca
:" drives, one external 50-pin seagate 9gig drive in a 411 box, connected
:" with a 68-pin to 50pin cable, and a Quantum ATLAS10K2-TY734J73gig
:" drive in a 611 box connected via a 68 pin to 68pin scsi cable.
:"
:" the first three are seen by both probe-scsi and format. the quantum is
:" not seen by either probe-scsi or format, but during boot it is seen
:" and rejected. i separate the relevant messages from a boot with all four
:" connected by a line of = signs.
:
:you don't specify, but is the quantum first on the external chain,
:with the seagate at the end?
yes, the seagate is at the end of the chain and is properly terminated. if
remove the seagate entirely, the same failure occurs.
:
:" it has been suggested to me that this large a drive responds with a
:" self test to the load/stop/start command, and the self test takes more
:" time than the computer allows for startup. if this is so, then a much
:" smaller drive, say an 18gig one, might be a better replacement. or
:" lese, it might be a jumper problem on the hard drive.
:
:this is plausible but only on cold starts. the drive should already
:be spinning and selftested on warm reboots.
:
:" this is the second such quantum drive i have tried in this configuration.
:
:this certainly seems to rule drive failure out.

:Solaris 9 and older have a problem with some Western Digital 120 GB
:drives. We have some older drives that have worked just fine. But newer
:drives, same part number do not work. The newer drives seem to work with
:Solaris 10.

:" Hello guys,
:"
:" I just got a SunFire V100 that I bought in Ebay. It came with one
:" standard hard drive of 40GB. I heard that it can handle up to
:" maximum 137GB. Would it work if I put 2 hard drives of 120GB each?
:"
:" I am using Solaris 9. Is it true that I need patches for this OS to
:" cope with large capacity of disks? Which one would that be? And what
:" would the maximum capacity I could get for SunFire V100?
:
:i don't know specifically about the v100, but the older ultra 5/10 was
:limited to 137G/HD by its controller chip, and no patch was involved.
:they will take dual 120s, and even larger disks though you can only
:use the first 137G of each.
:
:iirc you might have to enter the disk geometry by hand to make it fit
:within what s9 format can accept; autodetect usually sets heads at 16
:and sectors at 64 but format's limits are much higher. otoh you can
:hit format's cylinder limit on autodetect with big disks.
:
:i have also found that what format [on s8 at least] can handle on
:disks and what it'll let you specify aren't the same. for instance
:you can't enter more than 256 sectors but it'll happily autodetect and
:format 303, or read 303 from a format.dat.

:Thanks Andrew,
:
:I think this is just a limitation of the IDE interface regardless of the Sun platform. It has got to do with the limitation of maximum 24 bits LBA addressing in the IDE controller itself. I found one interesting discussion related to this if anyone interested:
