CD-ROM

[Manuales]

Hi .. where and how can mount a cd-rom?

[Pete Randall · Accepted solution]

Determine the device file of your cd-rom by running ioscan:

ioscan -fnCdisk
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
=======================================================================
disk 0 10/0/14/0.0.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE TEAC CD-532E-B
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0
disk 1 10/0/15/1.5.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE SEAGATE ST39103LC
/dev/dsk/c3t5d0 /dev/rdsk/c3t5d0
disk 2 10/0/15/1.6.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE SEAGATE ST39103LC
/dev/dsk/c3t6d0 /dev/rdsk/c3t6d0

In this case my cd-rom is /dev/dsk/c0t0d0.

Make a mount directory:

mkdir /cdrom

Then mount it:

mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom

Identify the cdrom device with ioscan -funC disk, see man mount_cdfs for all details and options to use the command, for example:

mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c0t0d4 /cdrom

Or use the Forum's search feature. A quick
search for:
hp-ux mount cd-rom
found about 50 threads with some useful info.

Hi Manuales:

You also need to be aware that servers with DVD devices instead of CD ones, have device descriptions of 'DVD-ROM' instead of 'CD-ROM' in the output of 'ioscan -kfnC disk'.

The usage of a DVD device is the same as that for a CD.

Regards!
