I am trying to do the mount -v cdrfs -r /dev/cd0 /CL-cdrom on a clients’ AIX 6.0 server. I am getting this error and don’t know what to do?

mount: 0506-324 Cannot mount /dev/cd0 on /CL-cdrom: There is a request to a device or address that does not exist.

Thank You for any help I can get!!

  Does the drive exist? Can you see it with:
  
  Code: ls -l /dev/cd*
  
  If not, are you running on a dedicated server, or one of those where they define logical servers? If the former, you may need some help to get the device defined or it may be malfunctioning. If the latter, you will need to engage a system admin to help you load the data from the CD (shared by all partitions) to a newly created file system on your partition.
  
  Hope this helps,

  What we ran into was a typo in the instructions. It says CL-cdrom but should be CL_cdrom. Underscore instead of dash.

  The instructions say to type mkdir /CL-cdrom and after I did that it was there………..I’ve never had any problems with these commands before. The clients’ Unix admin is on vacation, so I was looking for another avenue for help.

  Is the cd drive actually working….can check with the following command…
  
  # lsdev -Cc cdrom
  
  cd0 Available 40-60-00-1,0 16 Bit SCSI Multimedia CD-ROM Drive
  
  It must be ‘Available’, if not then you could run the cfgmgr command below…
  
  # cfgmgr -v
  
  This could make it available……

  Perhaps a silly question, but are you working with a physical CD or just the iso file?
