RX6600 - Cannot see/mount cdrom (?!)

[Mathieu P.]

Hello,

I am trying to install CDE (since it doesn't come pre-packaged in 11.31) via the EO DVD.

But i cant mount / find the cdrom !

when I run ioscan, I there are no devices showing up as CD or DVD. I only see the local disks + my LUNs.


Any help is appreciated ... :)


Thank you.

Shalom,

Please post the output of:

ioscan -fnC disk

The first device zero is normally the DVD/CD on these systems.

Here it is:

disk 11 0/0/2/1.0.16 UsbScsiAdaptor CLAIMED DEVICE USB SCSI Stack Adaptor
/dev/deviceFileSystem/Usb/MassStorage/dsk/disk@hp-1008+294=A60020000001
/dev/deviceFileSystem/Usb/MassStorage/rdsk/disk@hp-1008+294=A60020000001


# mount /dev/deviceFileSystem/Usb/MassStorage/dsk/disk@hp-1008+294=A60020000001 /cdrom

Better to create a link. The "unusual" device file is for USB.

[Mathieu P.]

Ok it did work. I never expected to see a DVDROM as a USB device !

# mount /dev/deviceFileSystem/Usb/MassStorage/dsk/disk@hp-1008+294=A60020000001 /cdrom

Thank you.

[Torsten.]

The drive for rx6600, rx2660 and rx3600 is USB.

Since 11.31 the deviceFileSystem is used.

[Torsten.]

And BTW, with 11.23 it looks as always:

disk 0 0/0/2/1.0.16.0.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE TEAC DV-28E-N
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0

Shalom again,

The USB configuration is a new thing in the server classes mentioned in Torsten's last post.

It should be be configured when the server ships as a boot device in EFI.

Though this device is USB, the OS does not as far as I know support boot off external USB CD/DVD devices.

Glad you can use it.
