Questions on CD writing

[Kenneth Platz]

Has anyone managed to successfully burn CD's under HP-UX? I've got a Panasonic CD-R attached to my B180L -- it shows up in the ioscan using hte "sdisk" driver. I've also downloaded and built the "cdrecord" (v1.10) software, which I've used successfully on Linux systems; however, whenever I try to do a "cdrecord -scanbus" it gives the following errors:

# cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 1.10 (hppa1.1-hp-hpux11.00) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 J?rg Schilling
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Did you run "cdrecord -scanbus" as root or with a normal login.

I believe that this command requires root privledges.

I received the same error you did when I ran the command with my standard login and no error when I run the command as root.

Are the required SCSI drivers in your
kernel? You will probably need the
"raw SCSI" driver (pass-through driver).
Use /usr/sbin/lsdev to get a list of
configured drivers, or use sam to help
you.

Thanks for the assistance. It turns out that I answered my own questions by carefully RTFM'ing. I had forgotten to run the MKNOD.hpux script to create the required SCSI generic device files.
