[Adisuria Wangsadinata_1]

Hi,

If you want to mount HP-UX CD (eg. HP-UX Application CD), you can follow the steps below :

1. check the CDROM device file by ioscan command :

# ioscan -nfCdisk
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type
===============================================================
disk 0 0/0/2/0.0.0.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0

2. create the mount point if your system dont have the mount point directory :

# mkdir /cdrom

3. mount the cdrom :

# mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom

For oracle CD, you can follow on the document (docID : S3100001252, about 'Oracle: using pfs to mount an Oracle CD') below :

Hope this information can help you.

Cheers,

Hi,

Do the following steps..

#mkdir /CDROM
#ioscan -funC disk

find the physical path of cdrom..

for example ..
/dev/dsk/c0t6d0

#mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c0t6d0 /CDROM
# vi /etc/fstab

made an entry in fstab file..

so that, next time whenever u want to mount any CD, u just need to type..

#mount /CDROM

To unmount ..
#umount /CDROM

Cheers..
