This appendix describes how to mount a CD-ROM from a local or remote system so that you can install and configure CiscoWorks Blue SNA View on a workstation. It describes how to export the CD-ROM from a remote workstation and then mount it on the local workstation. This appendix contains these major sections:
You can install CiscoWorks Blue SNA View from a CD-ROM drive attached to your system or from a drive connected to a remote system. You must first use SMIT to mount the local or remote device on the local AIX system.
| Caution Avoid exposing the CiscoWorks Blue SNA View CD-ROM to direct sunlight because it could harm the contents. |
To install SNA View on AIX from a CD-ROM, you can do one of the following:
This section describes how to mount the local CD-ROM drive. If you have already performed this procedure, or if another device is already mounted on the mount point, this process will fail.
To mount the CD-ROM on the file system from a local CD-ROM drive, use SMIT to perform the following steps:
Step 1 Insert the SNA View CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
Step 2 Log in as the root user. (For instructions about how to become the root user, see "Becoming the Root User" in the "Preparing to Install CiscoWorks Blue SNA View" chapter.)

The CD-ROM is ready for installation of software.
You can install CiscoWorks Blue SNA View from a CD-ROM drive attached to your system or from a drive connected to a remote system. You must first mount the remote or local device on the local system.
| Caution Avoid exposing the CiscoWorks Blue SNA View CD-ROM to direct sunlight because it could harm the contents. |
To install SNA View on HP-UX or Solaris from a CD-ROM, you do the following:
This section describes how to export a CD-ROM file system from a remote system.
| Caution The instructions for mounting a remotely exported CD-ROM drive on a local system are for like systems. For example, the instructions are for exporting a CD-ROM file system from an HP-UX system and mounting it on another HP-UX system for installation, or for exporting from one Solaris system and mounting on another Solaris system, but not for cross-platform operation. If necessary, your system administrator can help you with cross-platform exporting and mounting. |
To export a CD-ROM file system from an HP-UX or Solaris system, perform the following steps on the remote system:
Step 1 Insert the SNA View CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.
Step 2 Log in as the root user. (For information about how to become the root user, see the section "Becoming the Root User" in the "Preparing to Install CiscoWorks Blue SNA View" chapter.)
Step 3 If the /cdrom directory already exists, proceed to the next step. If the /cdrom directory does not exist, create it with the mkdir command:
mkdir /cdrom
Step 4 Create an exports file using a text editor, if the file does not already exist.
Step 5 Edit the exports file to include this line:
/cdrom -ro
Step 6 If you just created a new exports file (/etc/dfs/dfstab or /etc/exports) in Step 4, you must now enable your workstation as a Network File System (NFS) server. To start the nfsd server, entering the commands shown below.
On Solaris:
/etc/init.d/nfs.server start
On HP-UX:
/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start
# /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd -n
Step 7 On Solaris only, add the following line to the etc/dfs/dfstab file:
Step 8 Mount the CD-ROM.
On Solaris:
The vold server automatically manages the CD-ROM device and performs the mounting. The CD-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 CD-ROM disk. If the /cdrom/cdrom0 directory is empty because the CD was not mounted, or if File Manager did not open a window displaying the contents of the CD-ROM disk, verify whether the vold server is running by entering the following commands:
If the system does not display anything, restart the server:
If the vold server is running but did not mount the CD, stop the vold server process and then restart it:
Where process_ID is the UNIX process ID of the vold server.
Then enter the mount command:
On HP-UX:
Use the following command to mount the CD-ROM:
/etc/mount -o ro -t cdfs /dev/device_filename /cdrom
Where:
The -o ro option mounts the CD-ROM in read-only mode.
The -t indicates the type of file system: hsfs for the ISO 9660 standard, and cdfs for the High Sierra standard with Rock Ridge extensions.
Replace the device_filename variable with /dev/dsk/c201d2s0 or a different device number reported by the /etc/ioscan program for the CD-ROM device.
Step 9 If the exports file existed previously (before Step 4), enter the following command:
-va
If exports file did not exist previously, reboot your system.
You can continue to the next section, "Mounting a Remotely Exported CD-ROM File System on a Local System."
To mount a file system that is exported from a remote system, perform the following steps on the local HP-UX or Solaris system:
Step 1 Log in as the root user. (For information about how to become the root user, see the section "Becoming the Root User" in the "Preparing to Install CiscoWorks Blue SNA View" chapter.)
Step 2 If a /cdrom directory does not already exist, create it with the mkdir command:
mkdir /cdrom
Step 3 To mount a file system that is exported from a remote system, use the mount command, as shown below:
mount remote_hostname:remote_filesystem local_mount_point
Where:
remote_hostname is the name of the remote workstation.
remote_filesystem is the name of the file system on the remote workstation.
local_mount_point is the name to be used on the local workstation.
For example, to mount the /cdrom file system from a remote host called faraway on a local directory named /cdrom, you would use the following command at the prompt:
mount faraway:/cdrom /cdrom
The remote CD-ROM is ready for installation of software on the local system.
To prepare the system for installation of software from a local CD-ROM drive, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Insert the SNA View CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.
Step 2 Log in as the root user. (For information about how to become the root user, see the section "Becoming the Root User" in the "Preparing to Install CiscoWorks Blue SNA View" chapter.)
Step 3 If the /cdrom directory already exists, proceed to the next step.
If a /cdrom directory does not exist, create it with the mkdir command:
mkdir /cdrom
Step 4 Mount the CD-ROM.
On Solaris:
The vold server automatically manages the CD-ROM device and performs the mounting. The CD-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 CD-ROM disk. If the /cdrom/cdrom0 directory is empty because the CD was not mounted, or if File Manager did not open a window displaying the contents of the CD-ROM disk, verify that the vold server is running by entering the following commands:
If the system does not display anything, restart the vold server using the following command:
If the vold server is running but did not mount the CD, stop the vold server process and then restart the vold server:
Where process_ID is the UNIX process ID of the vold server.
On HP-UX:
/etc/mount -o ro -t cdfs /dev/device_filename /cdrom
Where:
The -o ro option mounts the CD-ROM in read-only mode.
The -t indicates the type of file system: hsfs for the ISO 9660 standard, and cdfs for the High Sierra standard with Rock Ridge extensions.
Replace the device_filename variable with /dev/dsk/c201d2s0 or a different device number reported by the /etc/ioscan program for the CD-ROM device.
Unmount the CD by logging in as the root user and entering the following commands at the local or remote workstation on which the CD-ROM is mounted:
# cd /
# umount /cdrom
AIX unmounts the CD-ROM device from the /cdrom directory. Remove the CD-ROM from the drive.
