Hello All,

well you need to unmount it first then it will eject.

[Siju Vadakkan]

you have to umount the "mount point" where the DVD is mounted and then insert the second CD and mount it

Eg:

1.suppose DVD is is mounted as /cdrom
#umount /dvdrom

2. find the DVD device file name,
then insert the second DVD and then mount it.

#mount /dvdrom

[Jerry_109]

This is a install of a vmguest, and I don't want to kill my console install. The mount does not show up in the bdf or mnttab/fstab files ? How do I find this mount?

CAN U POST THE installation command here.

[Paul Sperry]

How did you start the install?

[Jerry_109]

Start vmguest console, because the 11.31 OS disk #1 is mounted in the DVD it boots off the DVD

root@hohp244[/]
# hpvmconsole -P hovm230 -F

The hovm230 configuration includes the DVDROM drive as follows :

root@hohp244[/]
# hpvmstatus -P hovm230 | grep -i dvd
dvd scsi 0 0 0 0 0 disk /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0

Hi,

from HPVM Release Notes (http://docs.hp.com/en/T2767-90114/ch08s08.html):


8.4 Using USB CD/DVD Devices
USB CD/DVD devices are not supported for use as attachable media, and perform slowly when
used as virtual devices. HP Integrity blade, rx3600, and rx6600 servers with such devices should
use Virtual FileDVDs or Ignite-UX for guest operating system installations. Hardware
supportability requirements for Integrity VM are described in the HP Integrity Virtual Machines
Installation, Configuration, and Administration manual.
To identify USB CD/DVD devices, use the ioscan -fun command.

Regards

[Tim Nelson]

For guest usage of DVDs.

present the dvd as a null device to the guest.

then use the VM option of the guest MP to IN (insert) and EJ (eject) the media

i.e. during install while asking for DVD#2, VM >> EJ, >>swap media, >>IN, >> ma, >> co >> hit enter to contiue.

The installer takes care of mounting and unmounting of the DVD as the OS level.

[Paul Sperry]

well that explains everything. nothing like details. Good job Tim

[Tim Nelson]

Forgot the details for the presentation.

hpvmmodify -P guest1 -a dvd:scsi::null:/dev/rdsk/cxtxdx

received an error, I will try again. Wow something new to learn....... :>)
