How to Eject a Compact Disc With Software Commands

Before You Begin

If the server is set up without a local console, you need to set up a console on it in order to issue software commands; see:

■“About Communicating With the Server” on page 28

What to Do

1.Kill processes accessing the CD-ROM drive, if necessary.

The disc will not eject while the drive is in use. To kill any processes accessing the CD-ROM drive, become superuser and type the following:

%su Password:

# fuser -k /cdrom/cdrom0

Note –You should warn users before abruptly halting processes. The command fuser -u /cdrom/cdrom0helps you identify who’s accessing the CD-ROM drive. Refer to the Solaris System Administrator’s Guide for more information about the fuser command.

2.From the console device, type:

%eject cdrom0

The CD-ROM disc should eject.
