Re: pfs_mount/umount

Hi

Sounds like you are running the install from the CD directory, as such you haven't unmounted and therefore you can eject the CD-ROM, do you install from a different directory with a full path to the installer to run it eg peterm_at_bigserver: /opt$/cdrom/oracle8/runInstaller

Hi,

This is more of a Unix question.

I am installing v8.1.7 on a HP-UX 11.0 machine. To mount the cd it asks you to use pfs_mount rather than the normal mount/umount.

However, when I do pfs_umount, it never wants to eject the CD (or lets you eject it). It shows the file system unmounted but the CD never comes out.

Does anyone know of a way around this??? ... assuming I have no free space to copy the CD onto disk.

Regards,

Sujatha
