Optional products and service updates
After the base operating system (BOS) is installed, you might want to install optional software or service updates.
Note: The cdromd CD and DVD automount facility,
which is included in the bos.cdmount fileset,
is provided in AIX®. To determine
if the cdromd daemon is enabled on your
system, run the following command:
# lssrc -s cdromd
The cdromd daemon
can interfere with scripts, applications, or instructions that attempt
to mount the CD or DVD device without first checking to see if the
device is already enabled. A resource or device busy error occurs
in such a condition. Use the cdumount or cdeject command
to unmount the device. Then mount the device as specified in the program
or instructions. Alternatively, use the cdcheck -m or mount command
to determine the current mount point of the device. For further information,
see the cdromd command documentation in the Commands Reference. The installation
code allows for this automatic mounting. If cdromd is enabled
and the mkcd command is run, the CD-R or DVD-RAM
is ejected after the image is completed. If you do not want to have
the media ejected, then the cdromd daemon must be put in the
inoperative state with the following command:
# stopsrc -s cdromd
