Oracle CD mount

[Ash_4]

Hello,
When I am mounting Oracle CD using "mount" command file name appears in capital letters.
# mount -r /dev/dsk/cxdxtx /mnt

What command i should use to appear normal file name?

Oracle CD's should not be mounted using the mount command.

Use pfs_mount:

Start :

nphup pfs_mountd &
nohup pfsd&

e.g. mount
pfs_mount -o xlat=unix /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0 /CDROM



After:
pfs_umount /CDROM
kill pfsd pfs_mountd

You should use the pfs_mount command, but you must start some daemons first (see man pfs_mount) and use some different mount options, its much easier to install these patches first then you can mount oracle CD's using the normal mount command - much easier!

PHCO_26449 1.0 Add Rock Ridge extension to mount_cdfs(1M)
PHKL_26448 1.0 Y2k; Rock Ridge extension for ISO-9660
PHKL_26450 1.0 Rock Ridge extension for ISO-9660

for 11.0

Hello

You need to do this:

1. nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
2. nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
3. /usr/sbin/pfs_mount -t rrip -x unix /dev/dsk/c4t2d0 /SD_CDROM
4. /usr/sbin/pfs_umnount /SD_CDROM

There are some patches that can be installed for v11 that will let you do a normal mount of

mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/dsk/c?d?t? /cdrom

see http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0xf489107d277ad611abdb0090277a778c,00.html for patches.

Hi,

Both the oracle and DB2 CD's to be pfs mounted in HP.

1. Open a file pfs_fstab in /etc
#vi /etc/pfs_fstab

make entry

/dev/dsk/cxtxdx /cdrom pfs-rrip xlat=unix 0 0

save and close the file.

#pfs_mountd&
#pfsd&
#pfs_mount /cdrom

now all the files in CD will appaer normally.
