I am in a new Unix shop Solaris 2.7 on an Enterprise 3500. Recently the cd-rom has stopped reading. Help. What to check or do first.
 
OH sorry FYI it has worked in the pastit just doesn't now???
 
Hi,
Just check whether your volume management daemon(vold) is working or not(using ps command).U can restart the daemon by restarting the
/etc/init.d/volmgt service.
Then eject cdrom and insert again and check whether the system is able to recognise the cd-rom.
Alternatively,u can manually mount the cdrom by giving the command
mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0 /cdrom

I hope this is helpful to u.
