CDROM mount error

[Becke]

Hi Guys,

I have just installed HP-UX on the machine by using an external scsi cd drive.

How do i mount this cdrom drive so I can't read the contents of the cd.

I have run the command "ioscan -kfnC disk" and gives me the following message for cdrom..

CLASS I H/W PATH DRIVER S/W H/W type
disk 0 8/16/5.3.0 sdisk CLAIMED Device

DESCRIPTION
PLEXTOR CD-WRITER /dev/dsk/c0t3d0 /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0

I have used the following command to mount the cdrom.
" mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c0t3d0 /cdrom"

But i got an error below.
"mount:/dev/dsk/c0t3d0 was either ignored or not found in /etc/fstab file."

Please advise how to rectify this error and mount the CDROM..

Thanks in advance.
Raf

hi raf,

check again the state of the CDROM:

# ioscan -fnC disk

if no problem, try:

# mount -F cdfs -o cdcase /dev/dsk/c0t3d0 /cdrom

regards.

Hi Joesph,

Thanks for a quick response mate,
The problem has now been resolved, i just had to turn the cdrom off and then turned back on again. After this I ran
"mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c0t3d0 /cdrom" and it worked.

Appreciate your help.

You can also try with pfs_mount

# nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd&
# nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
# mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cd
