Cant mount Oracle CD

[Zulkarnain Bin Salim]

Hi All Guru,

Need a guide and help ...

I have a HP UX 11.23 OS
Running a latest patches till March 07.

But when run the mount Oracle CD is failed.

# ioscan -funC disk
disk 0 0/0/2/0.0.0.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE _NEC DVD+-RW ND-6650A /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0

# /usr/sbin/mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /dvd
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0: unrecognized file system

But when i mount any of HPUx cd is working fine ( with the command mount /dev/dsk/c0t0do /dvd ). Do i need to modify any filesystem setting in due t oracle pre user enviroment have to be setup / setting.

Please advice. TQ.

Rgrds, Zuls.

Hi Zuls,

Try using without -o rr

/usr/sbin/mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /dvd

or try

/usr/sbin/mount -F cdfs -o norr /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /dvd (it should be the default)

or

mount -F cdfs -v /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /dvd

Hope your DVD is ok.
If nothing works use pfs mount.

Regards,

Hi Raj,

I do try to using the command of ps_mount but still failed...
# pfs_mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /dvd
pfs_mount: giving up on /dvd
# pfs_mount /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0 /dvd
pfs_mount: giving up on /dvd

Also the forum do mention about the patch for the mount command. I do have a latest patch on as at March 2007 but also having a problem ...

All Guru.. can you have an idea on this ..

Thanks

Hi Zuls,

Oracle Software CDs cannot be mounted by ordinary mount command.
For it pfs mount commands r required.
Also refer Oracle Documentation, it may be also
given in docs, how to mount Oracle CDs.

refer following link

https://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1117290

In most cases following steps r used.

1] # nohup pfs_mountd &

2] # nohup pfsd &

3] # pfs_mount -x unix -t iso9660 || rrip /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /dvd

To unmount use

4] # pfs_umount /dvd

Hi Santos,

i do try to using the pfs command but still failed.

Command :
# pfs_mount -x unix -t is09660 || rrip /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /dvd
Invalid type: is09660

All guru if i using the same cd and mount at the different server with cdfs mount is work find .. but not at my server .. any input that can i supply to help me on this ...

Thanks guru

Hi Zuls,

U have made a typo.

It is iso9660 and not is09660

Also

# pfs_mount -x unix -t iso9660 || rrip /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /dvd

This means u have to try

# pfs_mount -x unix -t iso9660 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /dvd

OR

# pfs_mount -x unix -t rrip /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /dvd

It depends on CD.

Also I still advice u to refer Oracle
Software Docs., how to mount/umount CDs
is given in it.

Please DO NOT use the pfs commands! They are VERY UNRELIABLE and if something happens and a command hangs, you may need to reboot to fix it.

Yes, Oracle still references them, but Oracle is not know for updating their installation documentation in a timely fashion.

Try this:

# mount -o rr /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /dvd
