6.2 Sharing a CD-ROM drive
If your UNIX system has a CD-ROM drive, you can also share it for workstations. To do this,
carry out the following steps:
Ê Using the mount command, incorporate the CD-ROM drive in the UNIX file system, for
example, use the commands:
mkdir /cdrom
chmod 777 /cdrom
mount -F hs -o dos /dev/ios0/sdisk005s0 /cdrom
● The devicename for the CD-ROM drive varies depending on the UNIX system.
● Most of the CD-ROMs have the high sierra file system type for which you enter
the required driver on RM systems using the parameter -F hs .
● In the example a directory ( /cdrom ) has been generated for slice 0 only. Create
another directory for each other slice as required and incorporate it into the
UNIX file system using the
mount command.
● Advanced Server for UNIX generally only processes filenames which do not
contain any uppercase letters. The filenames are converted to lowercase letters
using the
-o dos parameter. Check whether this parameter is set if errors occur.
You could also configure Advanced Server for UNIX is such a way that both
uppercase and lowercase usage is possible. To enable this, set the following
parameter in the registry:
MixedCaseSupport = 1 .
● Share the CD-ROM drive using the net share cdrom=c:/cdrom command.
Users now have read access to the CD-ROM drive from their workstations using the
net use i: \\server1\cdrom command, for example.
You cannot remove the CD-ROM from the drive before you have removed the
CD-ROM drive from the UNIX file system with the umount command!
