CDROM I/O Error reported

Pete Kelly — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 07:26:11 GMT

Hello All,

I have an RP3440 server with a DVD-ROM 305 attached. I've just come to mount a CD on this device and I'm getting a I/O error. If I use the diskinfo on /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0 I get the normal info about it being a DVD-ROM. However, if I run diskinfo against /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 I get an I/O error.

Do I have a hardware issue? Or is it software related? Please advise

First thing to consider is a bad media.
Did you try another disc?

If the disc is bootable, you should use "mount -r ..."

Shalom,

ioscan -fnC disk

if it says NO_HW for the DVD then its hardware.

If not, try different media, you may just have bad media.

Hardware includes cabling issues just so you are clear.

Thanks Guys. It wasn't a hardware error. More media related. Thanks for your assistance.
