This page describes using HDSware on CD-ROM
as a mounted file system. Sample mount commands for various hosts are
included.
Mounting the CD-ROM
The HDSware CD-ROM can be used as a file system (read-only).
This file system uses the "mount" command, as follows:
mount <CD-ROM device name> <mount point>
The
device name varies with each operating system and environment (some
examples are given below), and the mount point is a directory that
becomes the parent directory of the CD-ROM file system, usually named
/cdrom (you may have to create this directory if it doesn't exist). Note
that the "mount" command lines usually have some designation for the
ISO 9660 naming, whether "hsfs" (for High Sierra) or "cdrfs", or
something similar; with more recent OS versions this may be optional.
For SunOS 4.1.3
/etc/mount -r -t hsfs /dev/sr0 /cdrom
For Solaris 2.3
(If you're running Solaris Volume
Manager, just insert the disk. It will be automatically mounted at
/cdrom/hdsware, where "hdsware" was read from the CD-ROM label. If not,
use this line:)
/etc/mount -r -F hsfs /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0 /cdrom
For IBM RS/6000 AIX 3.2
/etc/mount -r -v -p /dev/cd0 /cdrom
For HP 700 HP-UX
/etc/mount /dev/dsk/c201d2s0 /cdrom -r -t cdfs
For SCO systems
/etc/mount -r -f HS /dev/cd0 /cdrom
For DECstation Ultrix 4.x
/etc/mount -t cdfs /dev/rz3c /cdrom
For OSF/1 for DEC Alpha
/usr/sbin/mount -t cdfs -o noversion /dev/rz3c /cdrom
For SGI IRIX 5.2
/etc/mount -o ro,notranslate -t iso9660 /dev/scsi/sc0d510 /cdrom
Consult your man pages or your system administrator for device
designations and directories for your systems.
The mounted
CD-ROM can be read as a normal file system.
