Loading the CD-ROM

The CWM 9.2 software can be loaded from either a locally attached or remote CD-ROM drive.

Step 1 Remove the CWM 9.2 CD from the case and insert it into the CD-ROM drive.

Step 2 Log in as super user root: host% su

host% Password: <su root password> host#

Mounting the Locally Attached CD-ROM Drive

The mount instructions for a locally attached CD-ROM drive for the Solaris operating system are provided in this section.

Step 1 When a CD-ROM drive mount point does not exist, create one as follows: host# mkdir /cdrom

host# mkdir /cdrom/cdrom0

Note When the CD-ROM drive is already mounted or you are running the volume manager with Solaris on a Sun SPARC system, this mount step is not necessary.

Step 2 Mount the CD-ROM drive on the mount point (when not running Volume Management): host# /usr/sbin/mount -rF hsfs <device> /cdrom/cdrom0

where <device> is the name of the locally attached CD-ROM drive. For example, to mount the CD-ROM from the local drive named /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0, specify:

host# /usr/sbin/mount -rF hsfs /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0 /cdrom/cdrom0

Mounting a Remotely Attached CD-ROM Drive

The mount instructions for a remotely attached CD-ROM drive are provided in this section. The CD-ROM drive must be mounted on the remote system (following the steps provided in the previous section), the mount point must then be exported, and it must be mounted on the machine where the CWM 9.2 software is to be installed.
