DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Mounting CDs or DVDs (HP-UX)

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.
If necessary, define a new directory as the mount point for the CD or DVD drive. Define /cdrom as the mount point using the mkdir /cdrom command.
If necessary, identify the drive device file using the ioscan -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.
Log out.

Results

Your CD or DVD file system is now mounted. View the contents of the CD or DVD by placing it in the drive and enter the cd /cdrom command where cdrom is the mount point directory.
