[Raju Mahendran]

Can any one give the details for the following

1.Will the CD-Writer supported in HP-UX
by its inbuilt driver or by the Third party driver?
2. If so, what are all the machine models & O.S versions supports?

HP does support the external CDROM read/write drives on HPUX 10.20.

I saw a presentation on the interworks site
for the 1999 conference on creating your own CDs on HPUX. There was some 3rd party products mentioned and reviewed.

Using a scsi cd-writer with some freeware called 'cdrecord' and 'mkisofs' you can create cd's using a HP-UX machine.

cdrecord is at http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdrecord.html

it has a link to mkisofs

Andy - I have compiled and installed cdrecord (under cdrtools 2.0) on my HP-UX 11.00 G60. I have attached a Plextor PX-W1210S SCSI CD-R drive to the G60. When I try to run 'cdrecord -scanbus', I get an error saying "No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver."

I have already run the MKNOD.hpux script. When I try to (manually) run the MKNOD.hpux-800 script, I get "Searching SCSI pass through drivers (spt)???.found 0". What am I doing wrong?

TIA,
Dean

Dean:
Sounds like the spt driver is not in the kernel.
