Using Your CD Drive
Verifying the CD Drive Operation
Verifying the CD Drive Operation
To verify that your workstation can communicate with the CD drive,
follow the steps covered in this section. Note that to perform the steps
required in this section, you must be superuser (
root
). If you cannot log
in as
root
contact your system administrator.
1.
Log in as
root
.
2.
Type the following command at the shell prompt and press
Enter
:
/usr/sbin/ioscan -d sdisk
After a few seconds the ioscan utility lists all of the I/O devices that
use the “
sdisk
” driver. Your CD drive should be among the devices
listed. The list appears similar to the following:
H/W Path
Class
Description
===============================================
10/0/15/1.5.0
disk
SEAGATE ST39102LC
10/0/15/1.6.0
disk
SEAGATE ST39102LC
10/0/14/0.0.0
disk
TEAC CD-532E-B
If
ioscan
does not detect any usable I/O system devices, such as the
CD drive, nothing is output and you are returned to the system
prompt. Since this indicates possibly that the driver for the CD drive
is not configured, read the section “Configuring the CD Driver” in this
chapter.
