Mount problem with Oracle CD

Lee Joon Moon — Fri, 21 Nov 2003 03:53:46 GMT

Hello Everyone
I tested my HP rp5410(HP-UX 11.i), but I got a
problem that mounted oracle CD.
===============================================
HPUX[/]# mount -r /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /cdrom

HPUX[/]# ls -al /cdrom
total 40976

=============================================
If you see the result of ls -al /cdrom
, you could see gabage like INDEX.HTM;1*

When I used Tru64 V4.0F, I got the same problems. If you know this problem, would you answer me.
Thank you

Hi,

see the installation manual ;)

Oracle uses Rock-Ridge format, so mount with pfs_mount or "mount -o rr".

good luck,
Thierry.

Hi there,

Please check again the installation manual.

Perform the following steps when using pfs to mount an Oracle CD:

1. Kill any active pfs daemons.

2. Re-start the pfs daemons:

pfs_mountd &
pfsd &

3. Mount the CD:

pfs_mount -o xlat=unix /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX /cdrom

Use pfs_umount to umount the CD.

Hope this information can help.

Best Regards,
AW

There is no need to use pfs_mount.

Just install the Rockridge patches

PHKL_25620 - s700_800 11.11 Rock Ridge extension for ISO-9660
PHCO_25841 - s700_800 11.11 Add Rock Ridge extension to mount_cdfs(1M)

Then do a
# mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/dsk/cxtydz /cdrom

If you have installed the 11i latest OS then the RR patches are there in and you can just use the mount command

Hi,

in general:

http://www.openfieldsolutions.co.uk/cdrom_mounts.html

Anyway commands are:

- on HP-UX 11.i:

to see exact CDROM device files:

# ioscan -fnC disk
(anyway I see that you already know what it is ;-))

and mount:

# pfs_mount -o xlat=unix /dev/rdsk/c3t2d0 /cdrom

- on True64 4.0F:

to see exact CDROM device files:

# scu scan edt
# scu show edt

here you should calculate the correct device file for CDROM (my attachment explains how to do it ;-))

and mount:

# mount â t cdfs â r â o nodefperm,noversion,rrip /dev/ /cdrom

In any cases just works

mount â t cdfs â r â o /dev/ /cdrom

If the first one doesn't work you can try the second one.

I hope this helps you.

Oops...I don't know what bad characters my previous post took.
I am going to report again two mount commands on Tru64 system:

# mount -t cdfs -r -o nodefperm,noversion,rrip /dev/ /cdrom

# mount -r -t cdfs /dev/ /cdrom

I hope that in this time they are ok.

Best regards,
Ettore

Attaching my oracle cd mount script.

Just change the cd device drive to the correct one.

Hey!

Install the Rock-Ridge extension patches instead and never worry about these problems. For HP-UX 11.11 (11i) you need PHCO_25841, PHKL_26269, and PHKL_25760.

Add this to your /etc/fstab:
/dev/cd0 /cdrom cdfs ro,rr,noauto 0 0

(/dev/cd0 is assumed to be your device file for the cdrom drive)
