Problem installing Solaris 10 1/13, disks no found

1001001Apr 12 2013 — edited Apr 12 2013
Hi everyone

Just picked up a Sun enterprise T2000 with two 146G HDD but had problem to install Solaris 10 1/13

The installation does not see any HDD

If I run "format" , it will also say "disks not found"

Solaris installation program exited.
*# format*
Searching for disks...done
No disks found!

If I swap disk to another slot, I can see SC alert says, HDD been removed and inserted.

here is also probe-scsi-all

*{0} ok probe-scsi-all*
