Network 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 thisSmilie

Please help...Smilie

Hi computerguy_2,

Before executing any commands use the man pages for more back round information on the command;

ie # man vold

But for the moment try this......

As user root, try running the following command, at CLI (command line interface)


# /etc/init.d/volmgt stop

&

# /etc/init.d/volmgt start


I hope this is of help

try to restart the vold daemon as "1junkie" said..if it doesn't work try to do this

Code:
# rm -R /cdrom
# mkdir /cdrom

then restart the vold daemon again...

SOLARIS 8 cdrom not being read
You guys are very smart (hooah)

Starting and stopping the vold process worked, now the cd reading is working great!

/etc/init.d/voldmgt stop & /etc/init.d/voldmgt start was the coding;

I liked that
# rm -R / cdrom
#mkdir / cdrom

Being a windows guy, I forget you can do that in UNIX, I can tell I'll be using this site alot.
