Mount ISO CD on HP-UX 11.31

[Mario Cárdenas]

Hi, good morning.

I download a GlancePlus demo from "https://h20348.www2.hp.com/ecommerce/...". This creates a file () wich is a ".iso". I bourned it on a cd on my Windows XP PC, but I was unable to mount it on the HP-UX 11.31 machine.

Does some body centanly know how to mount it?.

Thank you in advance!.

What means "unable to mount"?

What command did you use? What result did you get?

Try

# mount -F cdfs -o rr ...

do ioscan -funCdisk and find device file of cd/dvdrom. create a directory to mount ie. /cdrom. then mount it:

mount -F cdfs -e -o ro,rr /dev/dsk/cxtydz /cdrom

Hi Torsten.

I tryed this:

mls01:/home/ust>>mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom
mount: /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 on /cdrom : Device busy
mls01:/home/ust>>


mls01:/home/ust>>mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom
mount: /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 on /cdrom : Device busy
mls01:/home/ust>>

[Torsten.]

Some things to try:

# diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0
# mkdir /cdrom1
# mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom1

How about fuser /cdrom or lsof /cdrom

Can you mount a different CD/DVD, maybe like an HP software release ?

If you can mount another and not your homemade one then.....

In previous versions you could use PFS to mount an ISO file as a filesystem.. Fortunately PFS is no longer included with OS and I do not see any option in the mount commands to do the same.

Some would believe that this was your first
big mistake. (It's also not a very complete
description of what you did and how you did
it.) A Forum search for:
"device busy" mount cd xp
might have led you to this recent experience:

Hi.

Just for the next gay with this problem.

On a windows PC with ROCIO software, I chose ISO IMAGE to burn up the CD.

Then mount the CD this way:

mount -r -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom

Then, install it as we know:

swinstall -s /cdrom

As easy as that.

Have a nice day.

Chao.
