CDROM device path on HP-UX

[Nahmad_1]

Hi There

What is the best way to find out the CDROM device path on HP-UX please ?

Thanks in advance

Nahmad

The easiest would be to just use SAM.
Are you on 11.31 where there are new-fangled USB paths?

Hi Nahmad,

#ioscan -fnK |grep "CDROM"

The safest commands to use are
ioscan -fnkC disk |more
ioscan -fnk |more
ioscan -fn |more
and look for the CD or DVD device. The ioscan command pointed out by Prashant is syntactically and logically wrong. First it has a capita K instead of lower case and then it greps for "CDROM". Not all device strings have "CDROM" in them. It varies and can be CD-ROM, DVD-ROM etc.
If you are using 11.31 the devices may be different as Dennis pointed out.

HiTTr,

You are right it should be small k. Thanks for showing the mistake

Hi,

ioscan -fknC disk|awk '/CD|DVD/{print ; getline;print}'

Most of the times, this also works:
ioscan -fnkCdisk|head

In short,

simply get info from kernel itself at first place.

#ioscan -fnkC |grep -i dvd

Cheers!!
