pfs_mountd

[ANITH PRABHAKAR .C]

hi experts

I am facing one problem on my HP box which have HP-UX 11i in it. My problem is i couldnt eject the cd which has been mounted through following commands
#nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
#nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
#/usr/sbin/psf_mount -t rrip -x unix /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom

i tried both umount and pfs_umount commands to unmount the drive , both the cases the drive is getting unmounted and we couldnt eject the drive

where as the if i use the mount command to mount the drive and umount to unmount, we are able to eject the cd

with thanks and regards

Shalom,

Common issue, you cd into the /cdrom mount directory, start an oracle install process and then can't eject.

You are done, you must kill the install and start over.

Next time:
cd /home/oracle #wherever

/cdrom/runInstaller &

Now you will be able to change cd's when you need.

There is a better way to mount oracle cd's as well. Here is the code:

/usr/sbin/mount -F cdfs -e -o ro,rr /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /cdrom


Change c3t2d0 to the actual device of your cdrom..

Script code for you.

/usr/sbin/mount -F cdfs -e -o ro,rr /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom

Have fun and its happened to me, so don't feel bad.

Shalom Anith,

Its an Oracle produced cd? I'm shocked. My code was worked on every continent that has HP-9000 servers.

If the cd is self produced my code will not work.

The bottom line is the other part of my solution about running runInstaller form outside the /cdrom folder will sovle the problem.

I was in the same situation.
Are you sure that any terminal is using /cdrom mount point ?
