104APPENDIX C: MOUNTING THE CD-ROMON A UNIX PLATFORM

aAt the command prompt on the remote system, enter:

/usr/bin/su

bAt the Password prompt, enter your root password.

Solaris 2.5.x uses a Volume Management Utility that by default mounts the

CD-ROM under the /cdrom directory.

3Verify that the mount occurred by entering:

ls /cdrom

The display shows the cdrom0 directory.

4Verify that Solaris Volume Management is installed by entering:

ps -aux grep vold

or

ps -ef grep vold

If /usr/sbin/vold is displayed, then Volume Management is installed. Proceed to step 5.

If Solaris Volume Management is not installed, or has been deactivated, mount the

CD-ROM drive by entering:

mkdir /cdrom (if you have not already done so)

mount -r -F hsfs /dev/sr0 /cdrom/cdrom0

5Make the CD-ROM directory (/cdrom/cdrom0) available for Network File System (NFS) clients.

Edit the /etc/dfs/dfstab file by adding the following line:

share -F nfs -o ro /cdrom/cdrom0

aChange directories to /etc/init.d and enter:

./nfs.server start

bEnter:

shareall

or

exportfs -a

You may need to start the NFS daemons.

6On the local network management station (the one where you are installing the software), at the command prompt, enter:

mkdir /cdrom/remote (if you have not already done so)

mount -r <remote_system>:/cdrom/cdrom0 /cdrom/remote

For <remote_system>, enter the IP address or host name of the remote system that does not have a CD-ROM drive.

7You can verify that the mount occurred by entering:

cd /cdrom

8To display a directory of the CD-ROM, enter:

ls

After your CD-ROM has been mounted, you are ready to begin installing the software.
