Mounting and Unmounting the DVD-ROM Drive
This appendix gives general information on how to mount the ANA DVD- ROM on a Solaris system. For more detailed instructions, consult your Sun documentation.
You can install ANA from a DVD- ROM mounted on a remote Solaris system.
This appendix contains these sections:
• Mounting a Local DVD-ROM Drive
• Mounting a Remote DVD-ROM Drive
• Unmounting the DVD-ROM Drive
Mounting a Local DVD-ROM Drive
To mount a local DVD-ROM drive:
Step 1 Insert the ANA DVD- ROM into the DVD- ROM drive
Step 2 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 (
#
).If the /cdrom directory does not already exist, enter the following command to create it:
#
mkdir /cdrom
Step 3 Mount the DVD- ROM drive.
The vold process manages the DVD- ROM device and performs the mounting. The DVD- ROM may automatically mount onto the /cdrom/cdrom0 directory.
•If you are running File Manager, a separate File Manager window displays the contents of the DVD- ROM.
a. From the File Manager, double click on setup.sh .
The Action: Run box appears.
b. Click OK to continue installation.
•If the /cdrom/cdrom0 directory is empty because the DVD- ROM was not mounted, or if File Manager did not open a window displaying the contents of the DVD- ROM, verify the vold daemon is running by entering:
#
ps -e | grep vold | grep -v grep•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:
#
/usr/sbin/vold &
•If the vold daemon is running but did not mount the DVD- ROM, stop the vold daemon and then restart it.
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:
#
ps -ef | grep vold | grep -v grep
Step 4 Stop the vold process by entering:
# ki
ll -15
process_ID_number
Step 5 Restart the vold process by entering:
#
/usr/sbin/vold &
If you encounter problems using the vold daemon, enter the following command to mount the DVD- ROM:
#
mount -F hsfs -r ro /dev/dsk/cxtyd0sz /cdrom/cdrom0
where x is the DVD- ROM drive controller number, y is the DVD- ROM drive SCSI ID number, and z is the slice of the partition on which the DVD- ROM is located.
The DVD- ROM drive is now mounted. See Installing and Uninstalling Cisco ANA 4.0, for instructions on installation.
Mounting a Remote DVD-ROM Drive
To mount a remote DVD-ROM drive:
Step 1 Insert the ANA DVD- ROM into the DVD- ROM drive of the remote machine and perform these steps on the remote machine.
Step 2 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 (
#
). If the /cdrom directory does not already exist, enter:
#
mkdir /cdrom
Step 3 Mount the DVD- ROM drive.
The vold daemon process manages the DVD- ROM device and performs the mounting. The DVD- 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 DVD- ROM.
a. From the File Manager, double click on setup.sh.
The Action: Run box appears.
b. Click OK to continue installation.
•If the /cdrom/cdrom0 directory is empty because the DVD- ROM was not mounted, or if File Manager did not open a window displaying the contents of the DVD- ROM, verify that the vold daemon is running by entering:
#
ps -e | grep vold | grep -v grep
•If vold is running, the system displays /usr/sbin/vold. If the system does not display anything, restart the daemon by entering:
#
/usr/sbin/vold &
•If the vold daemon is running but did not mount the DVD- ROM, stop the vold daemon and then restart it. 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:
#
ps -ef | grep vold | grep -v grep
Step 4 Stop the vold process by entering:
#
kill -15 process_ID_number
Step 5 Restart the vold process by entering:
#
/usr/sbin/vold &
If you encounter problems using the vold daemon, enter the following to mount the DVD- ROM:
#
mount -F hsfs -r ro /dev/dsk/cxtyd0sz /cdrom/cdrom0
where x is the DVD- ROM drive controller number, y is the DVD- ROM drive SCSI ID number, and z is the slice of the partition on which the DVD- ROM is located.
Step 6 Use a text editor to create an /etc/dfs/dfstab file, if one does not exist.
Step 7 Add the following line to the /etc/dfs/dfstab file:
share -F nfs -o ro /cdrom/cdrom0
Step 8 Make sure your remote machine is enabled as an NFS server by entering:
#
ps -ef | grep nfs | grep -v grep
The output of this command indicates whether the /usr/lib/nfs/nfsd and /usr/lib/nfs/mountd daemons are running. If they are not running, enable your machine as an NFS server by entering:
#
/etc/init.d/nfs.server start
If your machine is enabled as an NFS server, enter:# share
Step 9 Go to the machine on which you want to install ANA.
Step 10 Log on as superuser by entering the command su and the root password, or log in as root.
Step 11 Create a /cdrom directory, if one does not already exist, by entering:
#
mkdir -p /cdrom/cdname
Step 12 Mount the DVD- ROM drive by entering:
#
/usr/sbin/mount -r remote_machine_name:/cdrom/cdrom0 /cdrom/cdnameYou have now mounted the DVD- ROM drive. See Installing and Uninstalling Cisco ANA 4.0 for instructions on installation.
Unmounting the DVD-ROM Drive
After you complete the ANA installation, you need to unmount the DVD- ROM drive and eject the DVD- ROM.
To unmount a local DVD- ROM drive, as root, enter:
#
cd
#
umount /cdrom/cdrom0
#
eject
To unmount a remote DVD- ROM drive:
Step 1 Go to root and enter the following on the local machine:
#
umount /cdrom/cdname
Step 2 Go to root and enter the following on the remote machine:
#
umount /cdrom/cdrom0
#
eject
Note Instead of using the eject command, you can choose File > Eject from the File Manager.
