Thanks
but I can't see the CDROM in that list.
I am sure that CDROM is connected correctly.

[Patrick Wallek]

# ioscan -fnC disk

That will return all disk devices, of which the CD-ROM is.

ioscan -nf does show every device connected to the system. Check the whole list again.

ioscan -nf >/tmp/ioscan.out
grep -i ROM /tmp/ioscan.out

You also do a SEARCH in the ISL prompt during boot time.

It will be seen as a disk. Try ioscan -fC disk or -fnC if you want the device filenames as well. You should get a hit if you pipe the output to grep CD:
ioscan -fC disk | grep CD

On 800 server systems (D, K, L, etc), they normally have to be booted with the hardware installed to build the device files needed for access. If you have added the CDROM after the machine was booted, it may not be visible.

Hi Navin,

Try "ioscan -fn".

Hope this helps.

As others have said, it should show up in an ioscan if you have indeed added it correctly. And by correctly I mean that you have a known-good cable, you're using like interfaces (fast-wide on server to fast-wide on CD-ROM, for instance), and you have a known-good terminator on the other SCSI connector of the CD-ROM. There are further presumptions such as the CD-ROM drive being good itself, power turned-on, etc.

If you added the CD-ROM without a reboot, I would perform the following:

insf -e
ioscan -kfnC disk | more

If you still don't see your CD-ROM, I'd start trying part of all of your setup on a different server.

Cheers,
Jim

Dang, I hate it when I do that! Leave the kernel (k) switch out of your ioscan when you're probing for devices added since boot:

ioscan -fnC disk | more

Hi
Th command #ioscan -fn should list all attached devices to system.

Also /opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest lists system information.

Thanks.
Prashant.

Hello,

well, do you have the proper drivers installed? For hp CD-ROMs you'll need drivers for SCSI, for the CD-FileSystem, and on the newer workstations some patches, as they have PC-style AT-bus CD-drives...
You might use "lsdev" or good ol' SAM or read your "/stand/system".

Just my ???0.02,
