If you need step by step information please start at STEP 1. Follow the next few steps and you should be up and

running in no time.

Unit Overview

The SurfSTOR DVD-RW is a Sun Compatible DVD-RW that has the same recording capabilities as any other DVD-RW on

the market. Below, in Figure A is a front view of the unit and its functions.

Figure A: Front View Figure B: IDE Rear View

For purchasers of the Internal IDE Unit, the following Figure B is provided to help aide in the configuration and

installation of the unit into the computer.

STEP 1: Halting the System

If you are installing an internal DVD-RW or adding an external DVD-RW to a SCSI channel that already has

devices on the system bus, you must shutdown the system. If you are adding an external unit to a new, empty

channel you do not need to shut down and may continue to step 3. Before halting your system find out what

operating system you are running by typing:

# /usr/bin/uname -sr

Write down your operating system here ________________

You must have root permission and be sure that all users are logged off. Use any command you would use to halt

your system normally or use the commands listed below.

# sync;/etc/halt

Once the system is halted turn off the power to the system and any devices attached to it.

STEP 2: Addressing

External SCSI: SurfSTOR subsystems have an

external SCSI ID select switch on the bottom or rear

panel of the enclosure. This switch corresponds with

the SCSI address of the DVD-RW unit inside the

enclosure. See Figure 2A below for a view of the ID

Selector:

Internal SCSI: If you are installing an internal

DVD-RW

please note that all of the jumpers have

already been preset by Partners’ technicians to ID6

for compatibility with most Sun systems. Please do

not add or take off any other jumpers aside from the

SCSI ID selection jumpers.

For a reference of the standard SCSI addresses on

Sun Workstations refer to the following GENERIC

Solaris kernel setup below. The main point with

addressing is to make sure that no two devices have

the same address. See Figure 2B below for a view of

the unit and its connections:

Figure 2B: Internal SCSI Rear View

Key:

CN1 --- 68-pin female SCSI connector.

CN2 --- 40-pin female IDE connector.

CN3 --- 4-pin power connector.

JP1 --- Sets Term Power to unit. Use pins 1 and 2

(left side).

JP2 --- Sets SCSI ID Selection and LED.

Typical SCSI Reservations:

IDs 0, 1, 2 and 3 are typically disk drives

(ID3=sd0 and is normally the boot disk mounted

internally).

IDs 4 & 5 are for tape drives or DVD-RW devices.

ID 6 is for bootable CD-ROM or DVD-RW devices.

ID 7 is for the SCSI Controller.

IDs 8 through 15 are for Tape Libraries and RAID

systems

Internal IDE: SurfSTOR DVD-RW subsystems ship in both IDE and SCSI flavors. If you are installing an

internal IDE DVD-RW, please select the appropriate Master, Slave, or Cable Select jumper setting from the rear of

the unit before installing and be sure to verify that it does not conflict with another device on the channel. It may

also be noted that some systems do not support Cable Select and you may have to choose Master or Slave. See

Figure 2C below for a view of the unit and its connections.

Figure 2C: Internal IDE Jumper Block

The Master/Slave/Cable Select setting for the drive

is determined by the mode jumper. The jumper is

placed over one of the sets of mode pins. To change

the drive from Master to Slave or to Cable Select,

you must move the jumper.

For example, to change the drive to be a Slave,

move the

jumper to the middle set of mode pins, leaving the

other pins uncovered. To change the drive for Cable

Select, move the jumper to the left set of mode pins.

NOTE: If you are using an Internal IDE, proceed to Step 5 and then Step 6A.

STEP 3: SCSI Termination

The SCSI bus is a daisy chaining system. Several devices can be attached to the bus by connecting each of the

devices together in a single line. The end of the SCSI bus needs to have a terminator installed either internally or

externally. The SurfSTOR subsystems utilize the external termination method while the internal units use JP1 pins 1

and 2 (see Figure 2B for the location of JP1). The terminator will match the characteristic impedance of the cable to

keep signals from reflecting back and forth on the bus creating noise and mixed signals. Each of the devices in the

middle of the SCSI chain should not have terminators installed so the signal will be at full power as it goes on to the

next device in the chain. If you are installing the device in the middle of the chain do not use a terminator. If you

install this unit at the end of the chain, put a terminator at the end of the SCSI chain. See Figure 3 below.

Figure 3: Termination

STEP 4: Attaching the SCSI Cable

The Sun SCSI host adapter (controller) accesses the SCSI bus through the rear of the Sun chassis with a 50 pin (8-

bit SCSI), 68 pin (16-bit SCSI) D type connector, or Very High Density Connection Interface (VHDCI). Plug the

SCSI cable into the Sun SCSI controller (usually in the back of the system). If the subsystem is in the middle of the

SCSI chain, plug in the cable from the new subsystem into the back of the next subsystem in the SCSI chain. See

Figure 4 for possible connection types to the Host Computer System.

Figure 4: SCSI Connectors

STEP 5: Power Connection & Consumption

Plug the power cord into the SurfSTOR subsystem and into an appropriate power outlet. All SurfSTOR

subsystems have an auto-ranging circuit to support single phase 100-260VAC 47Hz-63Hz automatically.*

*If power in your area has voltage spikes (power goes high) or brownouts (power goes low), it is recommended that

you use a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) or a surge protector to minimize the risk of damaging the subsystem

and losing data. For more information contact your sales representative at Partners, 800-550-3005.

STEP 6: Probing SCSI Devices

Read STEP 6 entirely before proceeding! The following is for SCSI Devices, if you have an IDE unit, proceed to

STEP 6A. The easiest way to make sure that you have attached the new DVD-RW to the system correctly is to use

‘probe-scsi-all’. At this point the Sun and the new DVD-RW should be physically connected together and set up

correctly. Turn on all of the external devices and then turn on the computer. Your workstation will check

memory and run various internal tests. It may also automatically boot itself. If your system starts to boot, stop it

immediately by pressing and holding down the ‘STOP’ key (upper left hand corner) and then the ‘A’ at the same

time - also known as ‘L1-A’. This should bring you to an ‘ok’ prompt. This is the “new command mode” and has a

variety of diagnostic and system setup options available.

Now you can test the device and SCSI ID. At the ‘ok’ prompt type ‘probe-scsi-all’. You should see a listing of all

the SCSI devices attached to your primary SCSI interface.

ok probe-scsi-all

/pci@1f,4000@scsi3

Target 1

Unit 0 SCSI Disk Seagate Disk ST373307LC

Target 6

Unit 0 Removable Read Only Device Plextor DVDR PX-800A

The ‘Target” is the SCSI ID that you set on the DVD-RW before attaching it to the system. You should see a

listing of all the SCSI devices on your system including the new DVD-RW. If you do, proceed to the next step. If

you do not, check the SCSI IDs being used on the system and choose one that is not being used for your new DVD-

RW.

STEP 6A: Probing IDE Devices

Read STEP 6A entirely before proceeding! The easiest way to make sure that you have attached the new DVD-

RW to the system correctly is to use ‘probe-ide’ command. At this point the Sun and the new DVD-RW should be

physically connected together and set up correctly. Your workstation will check memory and run various internal

tests. It may also automatically boot itself. If your system starts to boot, stop it immediately by pressing and

holding down the ‘STOP’ key (upper left hand corner) and then the ‘a’ at the same time - also known as ‘L1-A’.

This should bring you to an ‘ok’ prompt. This is the “new command mode” and has a variety of diagnostic and

system setup options available. At the ‘ok’ prompt type ‘probe-ide’. You should see a listing of all the IDE devices

attached to your IDE interface.

ok probe-ide

Device 0 ( Primary Master )

ATA Model: ST3120026A

Device 1 ( Primary Slave )

Removable Read Only Device Plextor DVDR PX-800A

Device 2 ( Secondary Master )

Not Present

Device 3 ( Secondary Slave )

Not Present

Assuming that the DVD-RW device jumper was set to Slave mode, it would show up as either Device 1 or Device

3 (depending on the cable used). Setting the DVD-RW as a Master device is not recommended as Master is usually

reserved for Hard Drives.

Note: If you do not see the new DVD-RW and all the other devices previously attached to the system, repeat

all the steps starting at step 2

4. Boot the system using the -rv switch option, which will reconfigure the system for new devices added since the

last reconfigure, including your new SurfSTOR DVD-RW and verbosely log these changes.

ok boot -rv

As the Sun is booting you should be able to see it recognize the new device(s) during post.

STEP 7: OS Configuration Start Point

The following steps are intended to aide you in determining if the SurfSTOR DVD-RW drive unit has been

successfully loaded by the Solaris Operating System.

1. When the computer is done booting it will give you a login prompt. Login as root:

Password:

2. You may have been able to see that the drive was recognized during the boot up sequence at the correct address.

By default, Solaris starts an application called the “Volume Manager” which automatically mounts and dismounts

CD-ROM and DVD type units. This makes it easy to place a CD or DVD into the drive and automatically start

reading from it. To see if the “Volume Manager” has mounted and recognized the DVD-RW device, open an XTerm

to see if a symlink has been created for the device by changing directories to /cdrom and listing the directory

contents:

mycomputer# cd /cdrom

mycomputer# ls

cdrom0

This will give you a listing of all the CD-ROM’s and DVD’s attached to the system, including the SurfSTOR DVD-

RW. If you have more than one SurfSTOR DVD-RW, then be careful to note the NEW SurfSTOR DVD-RW that

has been added. If you do not know which one that is and have multiple units listed, it is recommended that you put

a CD or DVD with information on it already into the SurfSTOR and type: “ls” for each cdromX(where Xis the

cdrom number assignment) until you see the contents of the disk. Make note of the cdrom# as it will list them as

cdrom0, cdrom1, and so on.

3. Now determine if your SurfSTOR DVD-RW device mapped to the system correctly by running the iostat -En

command:

mycomputer# iostat -En

c0t6d0 Soft Errors: 1 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0

Vendor: PLEXTOR Product: DVDR PX-800A Revision: 1.0 Serial No:

Size: 0.00GB <0 bytes>

Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0

Illegal Request: 1 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0

STEP 8: Manually Mounting the DVD-RW

The Volume Manager needs to be turned off any time you write to a CD or DVD (This will be discussed further

in the SurfBURNER portion of the manual). Once it has been turned off however, the DVD-RW and any other

ROM type unit will not be automatically mounted and will need to be mounted manually. To mount the SurfSTOR

DVD-RW with volmgt stopped, you must do the following:

1. To mount the DVD-RW drive to a directory, put a written CD or DVD in the drive and mount it by typing the

following:

# mount -o ro -F hsfs /dev/dsk/c#t#d#s0 /some_directory

(Note: Put the desired mount point directory in place of /some_directory - i.e. /cdrom)

The actual SurfSTOR device varies based on where it is plugged in on the SCSI chain. You can find this

information from the output of the probe command done in STEP 7 or by typing: iostat -En and looking for the

c#t#d# number.

mycomputer# iostat -En

c0t6d0 Soft Errors: 1 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0

Vendor: PLEXTOR Product: DVDR PX-800A Revision: 1.08 Serial No:

Size: 0.00GB <0 bytes>

Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0

Illegal Request: 1 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0

3. At this point, you should have your # prompt back and the drive mounted to the desired directory. To confirm this

you can use the ‘df’ command with a -k option. The ‘df -k’ command will report free disk space in kilobytes on a

mounted partition. This will confirm that the disk drive is mounted.

mycomputer# df -k

Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on

/dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0 503084 503084 0 100% /cdrom

Note: If you don’t see the drive, then repeat step 9.

SurfBURNER CD/DVD Writer

The following has been provided to help in the installation, configuration, usage, and basic features. If you find

yourself having any problems with the steps herein, please contact Partners Data Systems Technical Support.

Support numbers and hours are provided at the end of this manual.

A DVD, for all general purposes of this document is nothing more than a CD with approximately 4.7GB of

storable Data. Because of this, the term CD and DVD can be used interchangeably.

SurfBURNER is an easy to use JAVA based CD and DVD Recording Software that has been specifically

designed to interface with the SurfSTOR DVD-RW units. SurfBURNER has the ability to easily drag-and-drop

files between the Solaris Filesystem and a CD or DVD, enabling you to make quick backups of files or sharable

copies of files that can be read on various types of computer systems.

STEP 1: SurfBURNER Patches

1. Log into the X Windows Session as root.

2. Insert the SurfBURNER CD/DVD Writer disk.

3. Wait for the file manager to open the CD Contents.

4. Open a Terminal session or command window.

5. cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Patches/J2SE_Solaris_X_Recommended (NOTE: X= OS version you are running)

6. sh ./install_cluser

7. Answer yes when asked: “Are you ready to continue with install? [y/n]:” yes

(NOTE: If you receive error codes: 5,9,18, or 19 and up, please review the detail logfile.

All other error messages can safely be ignored.)

8. When the installation completes, it will ask you to reboot, but you will want to install the SurfBURNER

software first before doing so. Proceed to STEP 2.

STEP 2: SurfBURNER Install

To install the SurfBURNER CD/DVD Writer application, run the sun package located under /cdrom/cdrom0. It is

suggested that you read the following install example carefully as the script will create a dir named PDSIdvdrw in

your /opt filesystem directory.

1. Change directories to the /cdrom/SurfBURNER folder. This assumes that the volume manager is turned on.

2. Once in the install directory, run the package manager to install the software using the following command:

mycomputer# pkgadd -d ./PDSIdvdrw-1.XX-sparc-local

The following packages are available:

1 PDSIdvdrw http://www.partnersdata.com SurfBURNER CD/DVD Writing utility.

(sparc) 1.XX

Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process

all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]:

(NOTE: X= OS version you are running)

3. Type all and hit enter

4. Read the Software License Agreement and type: yes and hit enter to agree to the License.

5. The installation will copy all necessary files, finish, and display the options on how to run the application.

6. You will now need to reboot in order for the process to finish and run the software correctly. Type: init 6

7. Once the system as rebooted, continue to STEP 3: SurfBURNER Registration

(NOTE: To execute the software after rebooting, type: /opt/PDSIdvdrw/bin/surfburner to start the SurfBURNER

application.)
