Solaris

I have just installed Solaris 10. I have read various threads on how to mount CDs put can't get mine going. My Sony DVD RW-U14A is attached to IDE2 as the master.

If I type
iostat -En
I get
c1t0d0 soft errors 0 hard errors 0 transport errors 0
Vendor Sony Product DVD RW-U14A
Size 0Gb etc.

I then try to mount
mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /cdrom
mount: /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 no such device

I then did an ls in /dev/dsk and found that the
driver was there.

I also tried the same command with c1t0d0p0 and that
also didn't work with the same error message.

The CD in the drive contained a tar file which I had put
onto the CD from Windows.

Any help would be very gratefully received.

Many thanks,
Chris.

You could try to reinitialize your Drive(s) with

devfsadm

Also have a look at your /etc/path_to_inst and

prtconf -v

If it don´t work you could make a reconfigure boot with


reboot -- -r

You could make a reconfigure boot where all devices entries are new written with

reboot -- -pr

If that don´t work try a other drive

Thanks. I've got the drive working now. The correct commands were:
/etc/init.d/volmgt stop
mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c1t0d0p0 /cdrom
