Does anyone have an idea why, after disabling power management for an
mpt_power glitch on a sun Blade 2500, the system no longer recognizes
anything inserted into the DVD drive? It was working fine until I
disabled power management, which to me means the power is always on.
Am I right on that?

This is on Solaris 10 in the Gnome desktop.


Thanks

I ran into a strange power management problem with the Sun Blade 2500
just a few days ago. The disks would just disappear until I disabled
power management. The DVD drive still works for me, however, even
with power management disabled.

Yeah, those drives disappearing...they're a glitch in the 2500.

I don't know what to think about the DVD drives. Autofs is up an
running (online) but they're just not responding to anything. Same
thing happens with my Sun Fire V880...disable power management and
poof!...no more vold running.

What does svcs volfs say?

I learned from another source that it was indeed the volfs that was at
fault.

I'm new to Solaris 10 and wasn't even aware there WAS a volfs. All it
took was a restart (enable, actually) and everything's running fine
now.

Thanks for all your input.
