SOLARIS 8 cdrom not being read
Hello,
I'm a new SA fairly familar with Solaris. I'm using the COEInstaller tool and am unable to read a cd. The cd is fine.
The machine continues to see the last cdrom I've used which was an image. I've tried restarted the server, restarted COEInstaller but the machine still see's the last cdrom.
Is there a way to clear this
Please help...

sdl_cdopen
SDL_CDOpen(3) SDL API Reference SDL_CDOpen(3)
NAME
SDL_CDOpen- Opens a CD-ROM drive for access.
SYNOPSIS
#include "SDL.h"
SDL_CD *SDL_CDOpen(int drive);
DESCRIPTION
Opens a CD-ROM drive for access. It returns a SDL_CD structure on success, or NULL if the drive was invalid or busy. This newly opened CD-
ROM becomes the default CD used when other CD functions are passed a NULL CD-ROM handle.
Drives are numbered starting with 0. Drive 0 is the system default CD-ROM.
EXAMPLES
SDL_CD *cdrom;
int cur_track;
int min, sec, frame;
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_CDROM);
atexit(SDL_Quit);
/* Check for CD drives */
if(!SDL_CDNumDrives()){
/* None found */
fprintf(stderr, "No CDROM devices available
");
exit(-1);
}
/* Open the default drive */
cdrom=SDL_CDOpen(0);
/* Did if open? Check if cdrom is NULL */
if(!cdrom){
fprintf(stderr, "Couldn't open drive: %s
", SDL_GetError());
exit(-1);
}
/* Print Volume info */
printf("Name: %s
", SDL_CDName(0));
printf("Tracks: %d
", cdrom->numtracks);
for(cur_track=0;cur_track < cdrom->numtracks; cur_track++){
FRAMES_TO_MSF(cdrom->track[cur_track].length, &min, &sec, &frame);
printf(" Track %d: Length %d:%d
", cur_track, min, sec);
}
SDL_CDClose(cdrom);
