1. mkdir /SD_CDROM

2. ioscan -fnC disk to find the driver cxtyd0

3. mount /dev/dsk/cxtyd0 /SD_CDROM

# mkdir cdrom

# mount /dev/dsk/c0t1d0 /cdrom

[doug mielke]

Do an ioscan -fnC disk to find device name of cd, ( cxtxdx )

[Jeff Schussele]

Hi,

A typical CD mount command would look like

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

Supply your proper disk device info & the mount point is up to you.

HTH,
Jeff

If all else fails try using SAM. It has a GUI. You can then look in the SAM logs and see what commands are being run behind the GUI.

My CD-ROM doesn't show what I expect

It can be an Oracle CD-ROM, or a CD created on Windows, or whereever they used Rock Ridge extensions. Long names are truncated or show upper case only. Oracle tells you to use pfs_mount.

Do not use pfs_mount!. Install the Rock-Ridge extension patches instead and never worry about these problems. For HP-UX 11.00 you will need forget all about PFS and install PHKL_26448 (now superceded by PHKL_28060), PHCO_26449, and PHKL_26450 to have HP-UX recognize those file systems automatically on mount! For HP-UX 11i you need PHCO_25841, PHKL_26269, and PHKL_25760.

No need thereafter to use -o cdfs to mount anymore, provided you enter the CD drive in /etc/fstab like this:

/dev/cd0 /cdrom cdfs ro,rr,noauto 0 0
