RE: Re[2]: HP-UX 11.0 - mounting Oracle install CD - THANKS!

Dick, after reading your note (as well as others) & Metalink, the SA and I were able to work together to fix this. The daemons were not running, and that was precisely the problem. As you said, we started them and problem solved!

Thanks to you and the others kind enough to help out. For those of you who are college football fans here in the States:

I've seen the "giving up" message before when mounting the Oracle CD via pfs_mount. And yes, I always use the 'rrip' qualifier. Actually there is a note on Metalink about it that says "you need the NFS deamons running to get PFS
to work". I talked to my SA who after a minute of reading documentation agreed.
 He started the NFS deamons and sure enough pfs_mount worked in seconds.

Hi

This pfs mount for Oracle 8 CD's is a pain.

nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd 4 &
pfs_mount /dev/dsk/c0t1d0 /cdrom

Warning! possible dumb question may follow... you have been warned:

When you guys and gals mount your Oracle CDs, do you use the -rrip flag for the pfs_mount command? HP documentation seems to indicate this is for the Rockridge format. Any thoughts or gotchas? The CD mounts just fine with a regular mount, but won't mount with the pfs_mount command. Just says "Giving up".

Thanks in advance for any and all help.
