Accessing CDs and DVDs on the local system
If you want to install product components from a local CD or DVD, or a local downloaded image, complete this task.
- AIX®
- Log in as root. You cannot complete installation successfully
if you have logged in as another ID and become root.
You must log in as root to set up the security requirements for installing the Broker component. The installation can then be performed by a user who does not have root privileges.
- Complete the security setup that is described in Security on Linux and UNIX systems.
- Create a CD mount
point directory:
where /cdbroker is the mount point.mkdir /cdbroker
- Insert the CD into the drive of the computer on to which you want to install product components.
- Use SMIT to mount the CD, or use the following command:
where /dev/cd0 is the CD device and /cdbroker is the mount point.mount -r -v cdrfs /dev/cd0 /cdbroker
- Log in as root. You cannot complete installation successfully
if you have logged in as another ID and become root.
- HP-Itanium
-
The HP-Itanium CD has the format ISO 9660, with Rockridge extensions enabled. If volume management software is in use, the CD mounts automatically when you insert it into the CD drive. Alternatively, you can mount the CD as described in the following procedure.
If the CD is mounted incorrectly, some of the files cannot be read and the installation fails with a corrupted directory. You must mount the CD with Rockridge extensions enabled.

- Insert the CD into the drive of the computer on to which you want to install product components.
- Mount the CD by
using the following command:
where /device is the CD device, for example /c0t0d0 and /cdbroker is the mount point.mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/device /cdbroker
- Log in and ensure that your user ID has root authority.

- Create a DVD mount point directory:
where /dvdbroker is the mount point.mkdir /dvdbroker
- Insert the DVD into the drive of the computer on to which you want to install product components.
- Run the following command:
mount -o ro -t iso9660 /dev/dvdrom /dvdbroker
where /dev/dvdrom is the name of your DVD device (for example, /dev/hdc) and /dvdbroker is the mount point.
- Log in and ensure that your user ID has root authority.
- Linux, other than Linux on x86 and Linux on x86-64

If the Volume Manager is running, the CD is mounted on /cdrom/vol_label automatically, where vol_label is the volume label of the current CD; for example, wmb6_sol for Runtime Disk 1./usr/bin/ps -ef | /bin/grep vold
- If the Volume Manager is not started, run the following commands
to mount the CD:
where /dev/dsk/cdrom is the CD location (for example, c0t0d0) and /cdbroker is the mount point directory.mkdir -p /cdbroker mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/cdrom /cdbroker
Check where your CD is located by using the command iostat -En. Alternatively, use the volcheck command to mount a CD device automatically.
