To mount your DB2® database
product CD or DVD on HP-UX operating systems, issue the mount command.
Before you begin
Depending on your system configuration, you might need
root user authority to mount discs.
Procedure
To mount your DB2 database
product CD or DVD on HP-UX:
- Insert the CD or DVD in the drive.

-fnC disk command. This command lists all recognized
CD or DVD drives and their associated device files. The file name
will be something similar to /dev/dsk/c1t2d0.
- Mount the CD or DVD drive to the mount-point directory:
mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom
- Obtain a file listing to verify the mount using the ls
/cdrom command.

of the CD or DVD by placing it in the drive and enter the
cd
/cdrom command where
cdrom is the mount
point directory.
