MOUNT Command not working

[Arun Jain]

Dear All,

I have a 9000/800/rp3440 system with HP-UX 11.23 on it. I am trying to mount the cdrom drive on the server with the root user but it is showing some error. I have retried after removing the device file of the drive but still the result is same.

#ioscan -fnC disk
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
============================================================================
disk 0 0/0/2/0.0.0.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE TEAC DV-28E-N

#mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom
mount: cannot access -specific mount command
#uname -a

uid=0(root) gid=3(sys) groups=0(root),1(other),2(bin),4(adm),5(daemon),6(mail),7(lp),20(users)

Following is the env output of the server :
#which mount

See this recent thread. You may not have that cdfs module in the kernel:

Dennis Handly has given me a link of a thread related to the same problem.

Now the problem is resolved and I am able to mount the DVD drive.
