This topic describes how to mount a CD drive as the root user on a Linux platform or as the root user on a UNIX-based operating system platform.
Before you begin
Product CDs for WebSphere Application Server products for HP-UX platforms are formatted for the Rock-Ridge file system type, which is an extension to the International Standards Organization ISO-9660 file system type.
HP-UX uses a mechanism called portable file system (PFS) on PA-RISC machines to mount Rock-Ridge CDs. This procedure describes how to use the PFS method.
Why and when to perform this task
The following procedure guides you through using the portable file system (PFS) to mount a CD drive.
Steps for this task
# /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd & # /usr/sbin/pfsd &
# /usr/sbin/pfs_mount -t rrip -o xlat=unix /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom
The CD-ROM drive is the /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 device. The /cdrom directory is where the CD-ROM drive mounts. The rrip parameter forces the CD-ROM drive to mount in the Rock Ridge Interchange Format. The xlat=unix parameter translates file names properly for HP-UX.
Editing the pfs_fstab file
To avoid the mount problem, perform the following steps:
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0 mount_point pfs-rrip ro,hardThe mount_point variable represents the mount point of the CD-ROM.
/usr/sbin/pfs_mountd & /usr/sbin/pfsd 4 &
mkdir /cdrom /usr/sbin/pfs_mount /cdromWhere /cdrom represents the mount point of the CD-ROM.
Using pfs_mount to read the Rock Ridge system type
pfs_mountd& pfsd&
pfs_mount -x unix device /mntpnt
/remotemnt -access=server
pfs_exportfs -aRun the remaining steps in this procedure on the local HP-UX system:
pfs_mountd& pfsd&
pfs_mount -x unix remote_server:/remotemnt /localmnt
cd /localmnt/tas
What to do next
After installation, you can unmount the CD-ROM using the following command:/usr/sbin/pfs_umount /cdrom
For more detailed instructions, consult your HP-UX documentation.
