Solution  1012980.1 :   Sun SPARC(R) Enterprise Mx000 (OPL) Servers: snapshot "Unable to mount USB device"  


PreviouslyPublishedAs

Description
After inserting a USB memory stick into the maintenance port of an OPL XSCF, snapshot reported that it is unable to mount the USB device.

Steps to Follow
Sun SPARC� Enterprise Mx000 (OPL) Servers: snapshot "Unable to mount USB device".

The snapshot command expects the USB device to have a partition 1 with a fat32 filesystem. (/dev/sda1) If your device does not have any partitions, the XSCF will see your USB memory stick as /dev/sda. Without the partition snapshot will not be able to mount the device correctly and report "Unable to mount USB device".
To create a partition table on your USB stick, you can plug your USB memory stick into a Windows Computer, which should re-partition and format the device with one large partition as a FAT32 file system.

Update:
This issue is fixed in XCP 1050.
