How to configure the CD driver in HPUX 10.20

[ÁõÔÆ·É]

Is it the same like floppy driver. If no, how to do?

There is no specific driver for the CD-ROM. It uses the 'disk' driver. If you do an 'ioscan -kfnC disk' you should see your CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM, drive in that list.

Is there a specific problem you are having? Are you having problems mounting a CD? If so, what kind of CD? HP? Oracle?

Hi,

Usually there is no configuration to do since the server is recognizing the new cd-rom driver.
To use a CD you can do the following:
#ioscan -fnC disk -> find out the device of your cd-rom. for example /dev/dsk/c0t5d0
#mkdir /cdrom
with a CD media in the drive run.

#mount /dev/dsk/c0t5d0 /cdrom

Thanks very much.
Your answer is good for me, because I can found similiar configuration in my computer, it is like floppy disk configuration, I think.
Thanks again.

However if this is for the purposes of playing audio cd's I'd recommend looking here ->

I have read the Schemes and I find it useful for me.
Next time,if I have some problem about Unix, I will ask here and I do not want to call Italy for the so-called technical support any more.
Thank you, Sir.
