Mounting a software disc

Veritas software is provided on a DVD format disc. If you have the media kit, then get the software disc from the media kit.

To mount the software disc

  1. Place the Veritas software disc into a DVD drive connected to your system and log in as superuser.

  2. Determine the block device file for the DVD drive:

    # ioscan -fnC disk

    Make a note of the device file as it applies to your system.

  3. Create a directory in which to mount the software disc and mount the disc using the appropriate drive name. For example:

    # mkdir -p /mnt/dvdrom
    # /usr/sbin/mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /mnt/dvdrom
  4. Verify that the disc is mounted:

    # mount
  5. Change to the appropriate directory and product subdirectory to view the product release notes and installation guides, or install the products.
