Determine your CD device

Common names for CD-ROM devices:

 

NAME

EXAMPLE

 

 

/dev/cdrom

/dev/cdrom

 

 

/dev/cdrom/cdromn

/dev/cdrom/cdrom1

 

 

/dev/cdn

/dev/cd0

 

 

/dev/dsk/cktmdn

/dev/c1t2d0

 

To list descriptions of devices: AIX: lscfg

HPUX: - Make sure you have administrator privileges and your PATH includes /usr/sbin

ioscan -funC disk

Solaris: Most Solaris systems use an auto-mounter.

See the man page on vold: man vold

If your system auto mounts the CD, skip to step 5. Auto Mount programs may use the volume information to define a mount point. If the CD volume label is "Digi" then the mount point may be /cdrom/digi

3

Identify the mount-directory.

Some common pre-existing mount points:

/mnt/cdrom /cdrom

Or create your own: mkdir /mnt/mycdrom

HPUX - Check to see if pfs is running ps -ef grep pfs

If not, start the daemons:

pfs_mountd&; pfsd&

4

Mount the CD by entering one of the commands from the following table:

 

Operating

Command

 

System

 

 

 

AIX

mount -r -v cdrfs device mount-directory

 

 

do not use mount, it will not operate correctly

 

*HPUX

pfs_mount device mount-directory

 

 

See man pages for pfs and pfs_mount for more

 

 

information.

 

 

Linux

mount device mount-directory

 

SCO

mount -r -F cdfs device mount-directory

 

UnixWare

 

 

 

SCO

mount -r -f ISO9660 device mount-directory

 

OpenServer

 

 

 

Solaris

mount -F hsfs device mount-directory

 

(Intel

Most systems use an auto-mounter. See the man page

 

& SPARC)

on vold: man vold

device is the path to the device file assigned to the cdrom drive, mount-directoryis the directory where the Digi CD is mounted

*HPUX When finished, leave the CD directory and pfs_umount

cd

pfs_umount mount-directory

(If you inadvertenly use umount instead of pfs_umount, kill the pfs daemons to remove the CD-ROM.)

5

Navigate to mounted CD directory, enter: ./setup

If you see DISPLAY permission errors when running the CD, you may want to verify your DISPLAY variable is set.

To set the DISPLAY variable:

DISPLAY=localhost:0.0; export DISPLAY

AND/OR

xhost +localhost
