cd-rom

May I know how to mount/umount the cd-rom of the server?

I have a CD-ROM in hand, which contains some software/patches.
I want to see its content through SAM in the server, what can I do?

Thanks!

Hi Li

Firstly, do an 'ioscan -fnC disk' to determine your CD-ROM device file. Then use:

mkdir /SD_CDROM # (may exist)
mount /dev/dsk/cXtYdZ /SD_CDROM

using your CD-ROM device file in the command.

insert CD in cdrom drive.
run sam and go to software managment
go to install s/w on local host
Click on find CDROM (It will detect cdrom and give you list of s/w on cdrom

then select desired product and go to action and install

Hi,

run "ioscan -fnC disk", look for the device file of the cdroom e.g. /dev/dsk/c?t?d?.

make mount point directory
#mkdir /CD_ROM

mount the cd-rom
#mount /dev/dsk/c?t?d? /CD_ROM

run sam

go to "software management"
go to "view depot software"

a "select target depot" window will appear. at the target depot path enter the "/CD_ROM"

Hope that helps,

Paul
