How to mount and unmount CD ROM on HP-UX 9000

PURPOSE
——-

1. The Oracle Applications Product CD-ROM is in Rockridge format. You must
mount the CD-ROM manually.
2. Mounting and unmounting the CD-ROM requires root (superuser) privileges.
3. Be sure to unmount the CD-ROM before removing the CD-ROM from the drive.
4. You may need additional cleanup instructions before you can eject the
CD-ROM on certain HP machines. Contact your HP-UX system administrator
for more information.

Mounting the CD-ROM

1. Create the CD-ROM directory for the mount point.

$ mkdir <mount_point>

where <mount_point> refers to the directory on the system where the CD-ROM
is to be attached. <mount_point> is the name for the root of the mounted CD-ROM.

Example:

$ mkdir /cdrom

2. Log in as superuser. Place the CD in the reader, mount the CD-ROM, and
then exit the superuser account.

$ su root
passwd: <password>
# mount -r -F cdfs /dev/<cd_drive_name> /<mount_point>
# [Ctrl-D]
$

Example:

# mount -r -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c201d2s0 /cdrom
# [Ctrl-D]
$

Your CD-ROM is now mounted on the mount point.

Unmounting the CD ROM

# umount /cdrom

Mounting the CD-ROM

1. Use a system editor to add the following line to the /etc/pfs_fstab file.

<device_file> <mount_point> <filesystem_type> <translation_method>

The first entry is the CD-ROM device file; the second is the mount point.
The third indicates that the CD-ROM to be mounted is in ISO9660 format with
the Rockridge extension.

Example:

/dev/dsk/c5t2do /SD_CDROM pfs=mip xlat=unix 0

2. Log in as the root user.

$ su root
passwd: <password>

3. Run the following file:

# nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &

4. Run the following file:

# nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &

5. Insert the CD-ROM into the tray and run the following to mount the
CD-ROM

# usr/sbin/pfs_mount /SD_CDROM

Your CD-ROM is now mounted on the mount point.

6. Log out of root user.

# exit

7. Change directories to /SD_CDROM where you can see a lower-case
listing of the directories and files on the CD-ROM. The mounted
CD-ROM should appear as another read-only file system.

8. Log back as applmgr and set the $APPL_TOP environment variable. This is
to prepare for unloading the Oracle Applications installation directory.

Unmounting the CD-ROM

1. Log in as the root user.

$ su root
passwd: <password>

2. Run the following file:

# /usr/sbin/pfs_umount /SD_CDROM
