Solaris USB devices after an unexpected shutdown
Saturday, August 7th, 2010This post is more a reminder note for myself but it may help someone else.
I currently manage my printers via a VirtualBox XP instance running on my OpenSolaris server. My 2 year old daughter was irresistibly drawn to the UPS and shut it off which left the USB devices in an unusable state, they would show up in the list of available devices but VirtualBox couldn’t reconnect them.
To fix this I did the following:
prtconf -v and look until you find the device you want to fix, in my case it looked like this
printer (driver not attached)
Go to the compatible area and grab the first usb string from the value section
usb3f0,2b17.100 in my case
rem_drv ugen
add_drv ugen -m ‘* 0666 root sys’ -i ‘”usb3f0,2b17.100″‘ ugen
This should repair the issue and allow you to reconnect the driver.
