Usb-Connected External Cd-Rom Drive Will Not Function; Inability To Boot Server When An External Scsi Hard Drive Is Connected; Ps/2 Mouse Misidentification - Sun Microsystems Sun Fire V60x Manual

1.1.2 USB-Connected External CD-ROM Drive Will Not
Function
Some USB-connected CD-ROM devices perform unreliably on the Sun Fire V60x and
Sun Fire V65x servers. Use the internal CD-ROM device when possible.
1.1.3 Inability to Boot Server When an External SCSI
Hard Drive is Connected
The external SCSI bus is scanned for disk devices before the internal bus is scanned.
As a result, the operating system may label external drives before internal drives.
Exercise caution when adding and removing external devices because the operating
system drive device names may change, leaving the system unable to boot because
the external SCSI device may not be a boot drive.
See "Some Hard Drives Do Not Show Up During POST" on page 2-5 for more
information and a procedure for forcing the system to boot from internal drives.
1.1.4 PS/2 Mouse Misidentification
A PS/2 pointing device (mouse) may be misidentified during Linux OS installation.
To correct the mouse configuration for a Linux OS:
1. Type setup at the command prompt to run the setup tool.
2. Select the Mouse configuration option, then select the connected pointing device.
3. Save the change and exit the setup utility.
A Solaris OS automatically detects the mouse, and if it finds that it needs to change
some information, it starts the kdmconfig on reboot.
