When I install an Oracle on Solaris 8, CDROM won't open when installation done. I type 'eject' and it says '..volume busy'. I heard it can be manully eject by killing the vold, but I don't how? what is vold? and where it is? How to kill it? Thanks.
Hi,
This may be because u are still in the cdrom path.u may have gone to the path where installation files are there.Just change the directory and then give the command eject cdrom.If it still shows busy ,then give the command 'fuser -c cdrom'.This will tell u if any process is accessing the cdrom.if there is then kill that process and try eject again.
I hope this helps.....
1. cd back to / and type eject at command line
2. push manual button for eject
3. execute "/etc/init.d/volmgmt stop"
4. pkill -9 vold (not my favorte but sometimes to comes to this)
5.push botton on server, remove cdrom (leave open until step-6)
6. execute "/etc/init.d/volmgmt start" wait a few seconds and push try in
