I have created a RHEL6 machine that is hosted on VMWare player that in turn runs off my Windows 7 PC.
When I try and mount the CDROM on the RHEL6 box I get the following output:
Code:
[twood@localhost ~]$ mount /dev/cdrom/media
mount: can't find /dev/cdrom/media in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[twood@localhost ~]$
Here is the output from the /etc/fstab file:
Code:
I have also listed the files under /dev/sr0:
/etc/fstab

When I run the "mount" command I see that there is no CD device mounted:
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# mount
/dev/sda2 on / type ext4 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)

none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
vmware-vmblock on /var/run/vmblock-fuse type fuse.vmware-vmblock (rw,nosuid,nodev,default_permissions,allow_other)
I have also checked the settings under /dev/sr0:
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# ls -al /dev/cd*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 3 Oct 3 05:51 /dev/cdrom1 -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 3 Oct 3 05:51 /dev/cdrw1 -> sr0
[root@localhost ~]# ls -l /dev | grep cd
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 3 Oct 3 05:51 cdrom1 -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 3 Oct 3 05:51 cdrw1 -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 3 Oct 3 05:51 scd0 -> sr0
crw-rw----. 1 root cdrom 21, 0 Oct 3 05:51 sg0
brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Oct 3 05:51 sr0
After searching through various Linux forums and websites I tried the following command:
Code:
[root@localhost media]# mount -t ext3 /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
[root@localhost media]# dmesg | tail

[root@localhost media]#
Incidently, under my /dev file system there is no "cdrom" file. There are the following files, though: cdrom1 cdrw1, dvd1 and dvdrw1.
So my final question is: If I can't mount the CDROM under "/dev/cdrom/media" where can I mount it?
I hope this makes sense. My apologies as this is the first time I have used this forum for a while and am not familiar with the correct etiquette etc.
My RHEL virtual Machine Does not have Virtual Machine Manager Desktop Tool
Hi,
I don't seem to have the Virtual Machine Manager Desktop tool set up on my RHEL6 Machine. The Linux machine runs off VMWare player and I'm not sure whether it is a VMWare software issue or a problem with the RHEL6 installation.
When I launch a GNOME GUI there is no option for VMM under "Applicatons">"System Tools". (See Attachment)
I also run the following command:
HTML Code:
[root@localhost ~]# lsmod | grep kvm
kvm 300283 0
As mentioned above, the Linux machine runs off a VMWare Player platform. When I built the machine I used the quick install option on VMWare Player and in doing so there seems to be some features missing - including the VMM desktop tool.
Once again, I'm not sure if this is a VMWare or RHEL6 issue. Please could someone shed some light on this issue.
