[SOLVED] Cdrom device possibly missing?

Hello,

I am following the HPUX 11.31 install/update guide and I am trying to install "Update-UX" from the installation media. I put the CD into the drive, and I am trying to mount the device. The instructions state:
Code:
Find the DVD-ROM device file name:
ioscan -C disk -f -n -k | more
A typical device name is /dev/dsk/c1t2d0

however I do not see a CDROM device in the results:
Code:
[root@hpux04: /]# ioscan -C disk -f -n -k

The machine is an HP Integrity rx2660. Is one of these devices the cdrom drive? I believe it is supposed to say CD or DVD in the description.

edit: solved. I had to mount the UsbScsiAdaptor as the cdrom device.

What is using the usb controller? (should be the DVD...)

I do not have anything plugged into the usb ports on the front of the machine, if that is what you mean. Smilie

Yes, there was apparently no CDROM when the system booted.
Run ioscan without -k to now probe the SCSI buses (takes 15-60 seconds).
A typical entry for a (directly connected) CDROM:
Code:
disk      0  0/0/2/0.0.0.0  sdisk      CLAIMED     DEVICE       TEAC    DV-28E-N

Thank you for the suggestion. I ran the command without -k and this was my result:

Hm, it appears to be the same.

In your example:
Code:
disk      0  0/0/2/0.0.0.0  sdisk      CLAIMED     DEVICE       TEAC    DV-28E-N

^ What about this output tells you it is a CDROM device? I am unsure of what all of the output information means.


EDIT: I think I understand what vbe mentioned earlier. The cdrom device was using the ucb scsi adaptor, so I ran the following command:
Code:
mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/deviceFileSystem/Usb/MassStorage/dsk/disk@hp-1008+294=A60020000001 /cdrom

the cdrom mounted properly. I am not really sure why the cdrom device appeared under the usb scsi adaptor, when I searched online I did not see this as an example.

Thank you all for the help!

Search the description in Google ...
There is no definite indicator for a CDROM.
