Follow these steps to manually mount the DVD. 
1  Inspect the DVD to ensure that it is clean. There should be no smudges on the 

DVD. Some small, light scratches may be present; this is fine.  

2  From a root xterm window on each server that you are upgrading, type the 

following command and press Enter to stop the Solaris Volume Manager. 

3  Type the following command and press Enter to check for the presence of the 

DVD drive and to record the disk from the Logical Node entry. 

Note:  The "l" in the command is a lowercase L. 

4  Record the disk entry in the space provided.   __________ 
5  Insert the system release installation DVD into the CD-ROM drive of the server. 
6 

Type the following command and press Enter to create the mount point for the 
DVD. 

7  Type the following command and press Enter to mount the DVD. 

Important:  Although the rmformat command shows the device as 
/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2, use /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 for the mount command. You may 
need to replace "c0t0" depending on your hardware. For example, if rmformat 
shows the logical node as /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0, you would use 
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 with the mount command. 

Note:  Substitute the appropriate device syntax for c#t#d#s0 from the rmformat 
–l output you recorded in step 4. 
Example:  

 

Troubleshooting Tip:  If /cdrom/cdrom is busy, make sure the mount point is 
not already in use or that you are not already in the /cdrom directory. You 
cannot mount to cdrom if you are in the directory. 

Type the following command and press Enter to verify that the OS.flar file can be 
read.
