Mounting Your DVD

This section provides DVD mounting instructions for your SequeLink platform.

Windows

This information pertains to the supported Windows platforms.

The supported Windows platforms provide the system option AutoRun for DVDs as a default feature. If enabled, the Product Setup starts immediately when you insert the DVD in the DVD-ROM drive.

If AutoRun for DVDs is disabled, or you are mounting the DVD on a network drive:

  1. Insert the DVD into the DVD-ROM drive (for a local driver, this typically is drive D). If the DVD-ROM drive is on a network, mount the DVD and create a mapping to the DVD-ROM drive.
  2. To view the contents of the DVD, double-click the DVD-ROM drive icon in the My Computer window.

UNIX

This information pertains to the supported UNIX platforms.

Sun Solaris

By default, the DVD-ROM drive mounts automatically when you insert the DVD. The other supported UNIX platforms do not automatically mount the DVD by default. If your workstation is not configured to mount a DVD automatically, you must enter the command for mounting the DVD.

HP-UX 

# /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd& 
# /usr/sbin/pfsd& 
# pfs_mount -o xlat=unix /dev/rdsk/deviceName /dvdrom

where deviceName is the device name assigned to your DVD-ROM drive. The device name can be found using the HP-UX tool sam. When installation is complete, unmount the DVD-ROM with the command: 

# /usr/sbin/pfs_umount /dvdrom

For example, if the device name for your DVD-ROM drive is /dev/rdsk/c0t4d0, and you want to mount it over the directory /dvdrom, you would enter the following command: 

# pfs_mount -o xlat=unix /dev/rdsk/c0t4d0 /dvdrom

IBM-AIX 

mount -r -v dvdrfs /dev/deviceName /dvdrom

where deviceName is the device name assigned to your DVD-ROM drive. The device name can be found using the AIX tool smit.

For example: 

mount -r -v dvdrfs /dev/dvd0 /dvdrom

Linux 

# mount -r -t iso9660 /dev/deviceName /mnt/dvdrom

where deviceName is the device name assigned to your DVD-ROM drive.
