Workstation Install: How to mount Xilinx CD-ROM on workstations

Urgency: Standard
General Description: This solution illustrates how to mount a Xilinx CD-ROM on a workstation.
解决方案
1) Log in as root on the workstation connected to the CD-ROM drive. If you are performing the installation from a different workstation, use the rlogin command to log in to the workstation connected to the CD-ROM drive.
2) Place the CD-ROM for your system in a caddy and insert the caddy into the drive.
3) If necessary, create a mount point for the CD-ROM drive by entering this command:
mkdir /cdrom
4) Mount the CD-ROM. On Solaris systems with the Volume Manager, the CD-ROM is automatically mounted. If you have the Volume Manager, proceed to Step 5. Otherwise, perform the following steps: a)Find out which platform you are mounted on with the following command:
uname -a
b)Enter one of these commands to mount the CD-ROM drive.
For SunOS 4.1.3 and 4.1.4:
/etc/mount -r -t hsfs /dev/device_name /cdrom
where device_name indicates the name of the CD-ROM device. Ask your System Administrator for the device_name.
For Solaris 5.4 and 5.5: You do not need to mount the CD-ROM drive for these versions of the Solaris platform. The drive is automounted after CD-ROM insertion.
where device_name indicates the name of the CD-ROM device. Ask your System Administrator for the device_name.
To use pfs_mount, you must be running the PFS daemons. See the following note at the end of this solution for more information on pfs_mount.
5) Verify that the CD-ROM drive is mounted.
ls /cdrom
The installation screens are designed to fit into an 80 column width window. Use an xterm or command window that is 80 characters wide for optimal displays.
Note: Do not change to the CD-ROM directory. If you do, you will not be able to unmount.
6) At the UNIX prompt, type /cdrom/install. The Xilinx Installation Program screen displays.
For the Solaris platform, type /cdrom/cdrom0/install. Press Enter to continue.
NOTE: Setting Up the Portable File System (HP Systems)
The Portable File System (PFS) allows you to access a variety of CD-ROM file systems including the Xilinx CD-ROM, which is a RockRidge Interchange format. Use PFS if you are installing Xilinx software onto an HP/UX system. You must have root access to perform the following commands.
1) When running PFS on HP-UX, the network loopback must be configured. Enter the netstat -rn command to show the network routing tables and the lo0 entry for the loopback interface.
netstat -rn
Following is a sample display: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Interface Pmtu PmtuTime 15.37.113.94 127.0.0.1 UH 1 12 lo0 4608 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 106 lo0 4608 default 15.37.112.1 UG 0 32 lan0 1500 15.37.112.0 15.37.113.94 U 0 342 lan0 1500
For 10.xx versions, make sure the following entry displays in the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file:
LOOPBACK_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1
2) Use the pfs_mountd to start the PFS daemons. These daemons must be running to allow network access on the server and client.
/usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
This command maintains local and remote mounts and spawns pfs_mountd.rpc.
3) Run the pfsd command.
/usr/sbin/pfsd 4 &
This command spawns pfsd.rpc. This daemon must be running on all systems designated as PFS servers.
4) Use the ps command to find out what is running on the system.
