Mounting CD in VMS

I am trying to mount CD in VMS 8.3

I used the command $mount/system/noassist dna0:

The command gives the error "media is offline"

What is the issue here ?

The CD is working fine in other OS.

Hi,
It might look stupid but did you put a CD in the drive?
If so, try to mount it privately, like
$ mount/over=id dna0:
and post the results.
And...
> The CD is working fine in other OS.
What other OS? VMS has quite a different view on volumes that "other OSes".

The CD is CD-RW.

The CD is working in Windows and Linux.

The server is RX3660.

The CD is properly placed in the CD Drive.

MOUNT /NOASSIST might have been easier.

DNA0 sounds to me like a USB device. Support
for these is relatively new. Are your VMS
patches current? What is this drive,
exactly? Is it a model supported by VMS?

Do you mean the disc itself or the drive?

> %MOUNT-I-OPRQST, medium is offline

So VMS is unhappy. Could be hardware or
software.

Re: Mounting CD in VMS

have you tried a different cd drive (i take it this is connected by usb)? what make is it ?

sh dev dna0:/full

as has been pointed out before in this forum cd/dvd support can be a little flaky.
