Hi, Joyce

#ioscan -fnC disk

will give you the o/p like this.
disk 4 0/0/2/1.2.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP DVD-ROM 304
/dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /dev/rdsk/c3t2d0

#mount /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /mount_point
will mount CD on /cdrom.

If the CD to be mounted is DB2/Oracle media
then
#vi /etc/pfs_fstab
make entry
/dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /cdrom pfs-rrip xlat=unix 0 0
save and close the file.
#pfs_mountd&
#pfsd&
#pfs_mount /cdrom
will mount the CD on /cdrom

enjoy..

In addition ..you may need to mount it like this ..
# mount -F cdfs -o cdcase /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /
if it's rockridge formatted.

mount -F cdfs -o cdcase /dev/dsk/ /

Hi all

Thanks for the prompt reply

Is there a specific procedure to mount CDs from Informix and F-Secure (SSH)?

Thanks

Hi Joyce

There is no specific way the genriuc way is like this


mount /dev/dsk/cxtydz /mntpoint

this can be used wiht options like

-F cdfs , -o cdcase , -rrip


or the felxible way is to mount using pfs


pfs_mountd &
pfsd &
pfs_mount -x lower_case -x noversion /dev/dsk/cxtydz /cdrom

I know Oracle usually includes cd mounting instructions in their manual. You might check your Informix installation manual and see what they recommend.
