/cdrom no such file or dir can any one help me on this

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi:

Assuming that the '/cdrom' directory exists, you need to do something like:

# mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/cXtYdZ /cdrom

See the manpages for 'mount_cdfs(1M)'

Make sure you are using the correct terminal, and you are not using another terminal of another server.

Try this:

Do an

#ioscan -fnC disk

to see wich is your CDROMs device path (/dev/dsk/cxtxdx)

then do:

#mkdir /cdrom (if it's not created)
#mount /dev/dsk/cxtxdx /cdrom

Finally

#ls /cdrom

to list all the CDROMs contents

Nassar,

I have already done what you said...but i cant see any device file for CD-ROM i have chked all the devices before inserting cd and after inserting CD, they are same

suggest on this plzz

[NMory]

Have you used the CDROM recently?

Have you made any recent SW changes to the server, or deletion/modifying of files?

Could you send the output of the ioscan -fnC disk?

Also send the output of

#ll /dev/dsk
#ll /dev/rdsk

Probably your CDROM is bad...but send those outputs to see what you have.

out of

ioscan -fnC disk

dev/dsk
dev/rdsk

[Lakshmikanth Baddam]

recently i hav'nt made any upgrades..or something using cd-rom.

[NMory]

Everything seems fine....

you have to use /dev/dsk/c0t0d0

Are you using this one?

LN

[NMory]

Could you try with a different CD also...

For example a HPUX installation CD..

Could be that the CD is bad..

Lakshmikanth:

How it went with your installation. Sorry I had to go home last night.

Did the installation finished successfully, or you are still having problems?

[Lakshmikanth Baddam]

Nassar,

Thanx for your help your suggestions made my task complete.

I think I have installed SG. and I checked it using
#swlist -R T1905BA

please chk the attachment i have sent..it has the output and please confirm me is it perfectly done or not i mean Service Gurad is installed or not.

[Patrick Wallek]

It appears the MC/SG has been installed.

Now comes the fun part of creating your cluster and the packages......

[NMory]

Lakshmikanth:

My friend..it seems that you got it.

Here are some useful links for you to have as reference:

http://docs.hp.com/en/B3936-90100/index.html

Have fun,

[Lakshmikanth Baddam]

Ok now can you tell me

I have one more server i got to install Sg on that as well.

So can i use the same
codeword and install it or need to have different codeword.

and can i generate a second codeword from the Cust Id I have already. I generated one and used it to install on the first one.

Thnx

[NMory]

Yes I think you have to use 1 license (codeword) per server, so I recommend to generate another one using this site:

http://licensing.hp.com/site=ITRC?LANGUAGE_OPTION=english

or

Calling HP Licensing directly:

Shalom,

SG is licensed per CPU and needs to be purchased for every production SG server by CPU.
