Mounting and Unmounting on HP-UX

Mounting and Unmounting on HP-UX

This appendix describes how to mount the Essentials CD-ROM on an HP-UX system. You can install CW2000 from a CD-ROM that is mounted on the local machine or from a CD-ROM that is mounted on a remote HP-UX machine. The Portable File System (PFS), which is used to mount the CD-ROM in this procedure, allows access to a variety of CD-ROM file systems.

Caution You must use this CD-ROM mounting procedure to successfully install the product. You must use this procedure to mount the CD-ROM for both CWSI Campus and Essentials. If you use the standard UNIX mount command to mount the CD-ROM, the software installation will fail.

This appendix contains the following sections:

Prerequisites for Mounting the CW2000 CD-ROM

The following are prerequisites for mounting the CW2000 CD-ROM:


Note A patch is required for HP-UX 10.20 only.
The command netstat -rn shows the network routing tables; the entry lo0 is for the loopback interface.

Mounting the CW2000 CD-ROM on the Local Machine

Caution You must use this CD-ROM mounting procedure to successfully install the product.

To mount the CW2000 CD-ROM on the local machine, log in as superuser and follow these steps:

Step 1 If you are running HP-UX 10.20, ensure that HP patch PHCO_15453 (or any superseding patch) is installed.

Step 2 Make sure that the path /usr/sbin is in the path environment variable.

Step 3 For HP-UX 10.xx systems, enable network loopback (if it is not already enabled) by adding the entry LOOPBACK_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1 to the file /etc/rc.config.d/netconf.

Step 4 Verify that network loopback is enabled by entering the following command:

    netstat -rn.
     
    

Output similar to the following is displayed:

Routing tables
Destination     Gateway         Flags   Refs     Use  Interface  Pmtu PmtuTime
127.0.0.1       127.0.0.1       UH         0    2897  lo0        4608
171.69.217.60   127.0.0.1       UH         1    2299  lo0        4608
default         171.69.217.254  UG         5   86356  lan0       1500
171.69.217.0    171.69.217.60   U          0    7702  lan0       1500
 

The entry lo0 is for the loopback interface.

Step 5 Start the PFS daemons to allow network access on server and client by entering the following commands:

    # nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
    # nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd 4 &
     
    

Step 6 Verify the processes that are running on the system by entering the following command:

    # ps -ef|grep pfs
     
    

Output similar to the following is displayed:

    root  1196  1195  0 14:07:28 ttyp1     0:00 pfs_mountd.rpc
    root 1224 1208 0 14:07:47 ttyp1 0:00 pfsd.rpc
    root 1210 1208 0 14:07:41 ttyp1 0:00 pfsd.rpc
    root 1217 1208 0 14:07:44 ttyp1 0:00 pfsd.rpc
    root 8669 7686 0 15:49:25 ttyp3 0:00 /usr/sbin/pfsd 4
    root 8670 8669 0 15:49:25 ttyp3 0:00 pfsd.rpc
    root 8617 7686 0 15:48:33 ttyp3 0:00 /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd
    root 8739 7686 1 15:50:49 ttyp3 0:00 grep pfs

Step 7 Mount the CD-ROM by entering the following command:

    # pfs_mount devicefile mount_point
     
    

where devicefile is the device filename of the CD-ROM drive and mount_point is the directory on which you want to mount the CD-ROM.

For example, the following command mounts the device /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 to the /cdrom directory:

    # pfs_mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom
     
    

Step 8 After you install the software, enter the following command to unmount the CD-ROM:

    #pfs_umount/cdrom
     
    

Accessing the CW2000 CD-ROM from a Remote Machine

Caution You must use this CD-ROM mounting procedure to successfully install the product.

To access the CW2000 CD-ROM from a remote machine, log in as superuser and follow these steps:

Step 1 Perform the following steps on the remote machine:

Step 2 Perform the following steps on the local machine (the machine on which you want to install the software):

Unexporting the CD-ROM Filesystem

After you have finished installing Essentials and the necessary device packages, you might want to unexport the exported CD-ROM filesystem. To unexport the CD-ROM filesystem, follow these steps:

Step 1 Log in to the local HP-UX workstation as root.

Step 2 Unmount the directory (for example, /local_dir) for the local workstation by entering the following command:

    # /usr/sbin/umount /local_dir
     
    

Step 3 Log in to the remote HP-UX workstation as root.

Step 4 Remove the following line from the /etc/exports file:

    /cdrom -anon=0,ro
     
    

Step 5 Enter the following command to unexport the filesystem:

    # /etc/exportfs -a
     
    

Mounting an Exported CD-ROM Filesystem to a Local Workstation

To mount the exported CD-ROM filesystem to a local workstation, follow these steps:

Step 1 Log in to the local workstation as root.

Step 2 Create a dummy directory, for example, /local_dir. If a directory by that name already exists, create a directory with a different name. The following steps use the filename /local_dir.

Step 3 Verify that the directory is not already a mounted filesystem by entering the following command:

    # df /local_dir
     
    

If the output is similar to the following, the directory is not already a mounted file system.

    /local_dir (/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s5):328614 blocks 586775 files
     
    

If the output of the command is similar to the following, a file system is already mounted on the local_dir directory.

    /local_dir  (remote:/tmp): 3139134 blocks -1 files
     
    

Step 4 If a file system is already mounted on the local_dir directory, unmount the existing directory by entering the following command:

    # /usr/sbin/umount /local_dir
     
    

Step 5 Mount the exported CD-ROM drive on the local workstation by entering the following command:

    # /usr/sbin/mount -r remote_machine:/cdrom /local_dir
     
    

Unmounting the CD-ROM Drive

To unmount the CD-ROM, log in as superuser and follow these steps:

Step 1 Unmount the CD-ROM drive by entering the following command as superuser:

    # cd /
    # umount /cdrom
     
    

Step 2 Press the eject button to eject the CD-ROM from the workstation.

Step 3 Remove the CD-ROM and store it in a safe place.
