Oracle and PFS_Mount

[Alexander M. Ermes]

Hi there.
Follow JRF's recommendation with the patches.
We did this a few weeks ago.
It works perfect on different servers
( 2x N4000 / 1 V2500 / 1 K480 ).
No problems.

If you use pfs_mount to access the cd, don't do the installation from the /cdrom (or whatever you called it) folder.

If its a multi-cd install, you want be able to pfs_umount and switch cds. I learned this one the hard way.

Use this command from anywhere but the /cdrom folder.

/cdrom/runInstaller

X Windows required.

Standard advice for oracle db installes. See this script. Ignore the memory warning, just makes sure you have lots(min 256 MB).

I feel your pain

pfs_mount as instructed in the oracle cd

pfs_umount /dev/rdsk/device, for ex:
/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0

For "stuck" cd's
pfs_umount -c /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0


mount syntax for different cd's

pfs_mount
-t iso9660 -x unix /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0 /SD_CDROM

or
pfs_mount -t rrip -x unix /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0 /SD_CDROM

I have the Sept 2002 qpack installed -
