Mounting CDs on Solaris

You should consult your Solaris documentation for exact details of how to mount a CD on your system.

  1. Log on as root.
  2. Enter the following command to check if the Volume Manager is running on your system: /usr/bin/ps -ef | /bin/grep vold. If the Volume Manager is running, the CD is mounted on /cdrom/wmqimbsol automatically. Otherwise, run the following commands to mount the CD: mkdir -p /cdrom/wmqi and mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/cdrom device/cdrom/wmqi, where cdrom device is the CD-ROM location, for example c1t2d0s0. The following command can be used to determine where your CD-ROM is located: iostat -En. Alternatively, use the volcheck command to automount a CD-ROM device.
