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.

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.
