When i execute the ioscan -fnNC disk --> I see no DVD.
when i excute the ioscan -fnN --> I see no DVD.

it's very strange ..... no ?

No, not that strange.

I'm sure you are on a rx3600 or 6600, right?

The drive is USB and USB handling is now different (and looks a bit strange).

# ioscan -fn
...
disk 1 0/0/2/1.0.16 UsbScsiAdaptor CLAIMED DEVICE OO Dev
ice Driver
/dev/deviceFileSystem/Usb/MassStorage/dsk/disk@hp-
1008+294=A60020000001
/dev/deviceFileSystem/Usb/MassStorage/rdsk/disk@hp
-1008+294=A60020000001

...


This is the drive.

I prefer to set a link to both device files, this makes life easier.

thanks,
i am on a rx2660.

You don't say how can i use the dvd.
there is no peripheral device file for the DVD ....

It's similar on this system.

This **is** the device file!

# ioscan -fn
...
disk 1 0/0/2/1.0.16 UsbScsiAdaptor CLAIMED DEVICE OO Dev
ice Driver
/dev/deviceFileSystem/Usb/MassStorage/dsk/disk@hp-
1008+294=A60020000001
/dev/deviceFileSystem/Usb/MassStorage/rdsk/disk@hp
-1008+294=A60020000001

...

Because this is hard to handle, use a link like

# ln -s /dev/deviceFileSystem/Usb/MassStorage/dsk/disk@hp-
1008+294=A60020000001 /dev/mycdrom

[Torsten.]

and to complete this - use the newly created device file to mount the drive:

# mount /dev/mycdrom /cdrom

(or whatever your mount point is).

Thanks a lot
