6.2 Sharing a CD-ROM drive

If your UNIX system has a CD-ROM drive, you can also share it for workstations. To do this, carry out the following steps:

ÊUsing the mount command, incorporate the CD-ROM drive in the UNIX file system, for example, use the commands:

mkdir /cdrom chmod 777 /cdrom

mount -F hs -o dos /dev/ios0/sdisk005s0 /cdrom

i● The devicename for the CD-ROM drive varies depending on the UNIX system.

●Most of the CD-ROMs have the high sierra file system type for which you enter the required driver on RM systems using the parameter -F hs.

●In the example a directory (/cdrom) has been generated for slice 0 only. Create another directory for each other slice as required and incorporate it into the UNIX file system using the mount command.

●Advanced Server for UNIX generally only processes filenames which do not contain any uppercase letters. The filenames are converted to lowercase letters using the -o dos parameter. Check whether this parameter is set if errors occur. You could also configure Advanced Server for UNIX is such a way that both uppercase and lowercase usage is possible. To enable this, set the following parameter in the registry: MixedCaseSupport=1.

●Share the CD-ROM drive using the net share cdrom=c:/cdrom command.

Users now have read access to the CD-ROM drive from their workstations using the net use i: \\server1\cdrom command, for example.

You cannot remove the CD-ROM from the drive before you have removed the CD-ROM drive from the UNIX file system with the umount command!
