Mounting cdrom in 11i v3

[GTownes]

Hi All,

Anyone know the steps for mounting a cdrom in 11i v3. Havging the weirdest time mounting a cdrom in 11i v3 new install.
When i try to mount it, I get unrecognized filesystem.

sudo ioscan -funC disk
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
=======================================================================
disk 26 0/0/2/0.0.0.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE _NEC DVD+-RW ND-6650A /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0

sudo mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0: unrecognized file system



$ sudo ioscan -kfnNC disk

$ sudo mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/disk/disk27 /cdrom
/dev/disk/disk27: unrecognized file system


What am I missing?

Thanks,

OK, I'll ask the stupid question:

Is the CD in the drive?

Shalom G,

Personally I would take this messag seriously.

unrecognized file system

It is either bad media or an incorrect mount command.

If the media is good, you can use swlist -i to search for a local CD-ROM and it will handle the mount command for you on HP provided OS or application media.

Hi, try

$ sudo pfs_mount /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom

is oracle cdrom?

What CD/DVD is in the drive? Is it a filesystem that HP-UX recognises?

fstyp -v /dev/disk/disk27

Hi:

You are attempting to mount a RockRidge format (-o rr). Is that what you intend to do? Is this an Oracle CD/DVD or is it HP-UX media?

By the way, I don't think 'pfs_mount' even exists in 11.31. That dysfunctional mechanism for mounting was obviated by patches eons ago in 11.0.

Regards!

Yes, the cdrom is in the drive.
The cd is a CommVault Galaxy Simpana 7.0 cd.

Ok. My mistake, sort of. :o)
It looks like I was using the wrong the cd in first, which was the Service Pack cd. I inserted the install cd, and was able to mount the install cd with no problem using:
sudo mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom

Atlhough the label on the Service Pack cd indicates it is for all Unix platforms, it would not mount as you see from the errors above.

[Julián Aimar]

Can you try without parameter -F & -o

sudo mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom

Ok ALL. Forgive me as my eyes have deceived me this morning,as I reread the Service Pack cd, and it says for all Unix Platforms EXCEPT, Linux, AIX,and HPUX. I missed the EXCEPT part on the cd.

All is good now. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks to everone for your quick responses and help.
