Mounting DVD on Itanium Server

[Aashish Kumar Taunk]

Hi,

I am totally new to HP-UX Itanium servers(and HP-UX OS). I have a new server:
# model
ia64 hp server rx2660

OS installation was fine on it. After OS installation, I tried to mount a DVD. After a lot of Googling, I am still stuck. I get the following error:
# ioscan -fnC disk
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
===============================================================================
disk 3 0/0/2/1.0.16 UsbScsiAdaptor CLAIMED DEVICE USB SCSI Stack Adaptor

/dev/deviceFileSystem/Usb/MassStorage/rdsk/disk@hp-1008+294=A60020000001

# mount /dev/deviceFileSystem/Usb/MassStorage/dsk/disk@hp-1008+294=A60020000001 /aashish
/dev/deviceFileSystem/Usb/MassStorage/dsk/disk@hp-1008+294=A60020000001: unrecognized file system


Please help.

Have you tried using the "rdsk" device?

[Aashish Kumar Taunk]

This is the error i get with 'rdsk' device:
# mount /dev/deviceFileSystem/Usb/MassStorage/rdsk/disk@hp-1008+294=A60020000001 /aashish
mount: /dev/deviceFileSystem/Usb/MassStorage/rdsk/disk@hp-1008+294=A60020000001 is an invalid operand

try it as follows

mount -F cdfs -o ro,rr,noauto /dev/deviceFileSystem/Usb/MassStorage/dsk/disk@hp-1008+294=A60020000001 /aashish


Good luck!!!!

@ jupinder

thanks a lot!!!... that worked!!!

As i said I am pretty new to HP-UX, would you mind to explain
a) what exactly was i doing wrong?
b) is there any specific procedure to unmount?

Regards,
Aashish

[Jupinder Bedi · Accepted solution]

you need to mention the cdfs filesystem with the mount option for mounting and unmounting the cdrom ......... points please :-)

# unmount /aashish



But you are using the old USB drivers.

You should uninstall them and install the current USB driver (from media or software.hp.com).


By doing this you get the good old /dev/dsk/cxtydz devices back.
