Mounting the product disc

You must have superuser (root) privileges to load the VCS software.

 To mount the product disc

1. Log in as superuser on a system connected by the network to the systems where you are installing VCS. The system that you are using to install VCS need not be part of the cluster.
2. Insert the product disc in the appropriate drive on your local system.
3. 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.

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

   # mkdir -p /dvdrom

   # /usr/sbin/mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /dvdrom

5. Verify that the disc is mounted:

   # mount
