Mounting and Unmounting on Solaris

This appendix describes how to mount the Resource Manager CD-ROM on a Solaris 2.5.1 system and includes general information only. For more detailed instructions, consult your Sun documentation.

This appendix contains the following sections:

• Mounting a Local CD-ROM Drive

• Mounting a Remote CD-ROM Drive

• Unmounting the CD-ROM Drive

Mounting a Local CD-ROM Drive

Insert the Resource Manager CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive and perform the following steps:

Step 1 Become the superuser by entering the command su and the root password at the command prompt, or log in as root. The command prompt changes to the pound sign (#).

Step 2 If the /cdrom directory does not already exist, enter the following command to create it:

# mkdir /cdrom

Step 3 Mount the CD-ROM drive.

---

Note The vold process manages the CD-ROM device and performs the mounting. The CD-ROM might automatically mount onto the /cdrom/cdrom0 directory.

---

If you are running File Manager, a separate File Manager window displays the contents of the CD-ROM.

Step 4 If the /cdrom/cdrom0 directory is empty because the CD-ROM was not mounted, or if File Manager did not open a window displaying the contents of the CD-ROM, verify the vold daemon is running by entering the following command:

# ps -e | grep vold | grep -v grep

Step 5 If vold is running, the system displays the process identification number of vold. If the system does not display anything, restart the daemon by entering the following command:

# /usr/sbin/vold &

Step 6 If the vold daemon is running but did not mount the CD-ROM, stop the vold daemon process and then restart the daemon. To stop the vold process, you must know the process identification number. If you do not know the process identification number, you can get it by entering this command:

# ps -ef | grep vold | grep -v grep

Step 7 Stop the vold process by entering the following command:

# kill -15 process_ID_number

Step 8 Restart the vold process by entering the following command:

# /usr/sbin/vold &

You have now mounted the CD-ROM drive. See "Installing Resource Manager" for instructions on installing Resource Manager.

Mounting a Remote CD-ROM Drive

Insert the Resource Manager CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of the remote machine and perform Step 1 through Step 11 on the remote machine.

Step 1 Become the superuser by entering the command su and the root password at the command prompt, or log in as root. The command prompt changes to the pound sign (#).

Step 2 If the /cdrom directory does not already exist, enter the following command to create it:

# mkdir /cdrom

Step 3 Mount the CD-ROM drive.

   # /usr/sbin/mount -r remote_machine_name:/cdrom/cdrom0 /cdrom/crm11

You have now mounted the CD-ROM drive. See "Installing Resource Manager" for instructions on installing Resource Manager.

Unmounting the CD-ROM Drive

After you have completed the Resource Manager installation, you need to unmount the CD-ROM drive, as explained in the following sections.

Unmounting a Local CD-ROM Drive

To unmount a local CD-ROM drive, follow these steps:

Step 1 As root, enter the following commands:

# cd
# umount /cdrom/cdrom0

Step 2 Remove the CD-ROM and store it in a safe place.

Unmounting a Remote CD-ROM Drive

To unmount a remote CD-ROM drive, follow these steps:

Step 1 As root, enter the following command on the local machine:

# umount /cdrom/crm11

Step 2 As root, enter the following command on the remote machine:

# umount /cdrom/cdrom0

Step 3 Remove the CD-ROM and store it in a safe place.
