Hi,
I have tried several times to get the cdrom mounted on Solaris 10 guest - under Devices > CD/DVD Devices > selected image iso.
Also force mounted using:-
mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 /cdrom/unnamed_cdrom
both fail to mount the volume and I therefore cannot access the source iso to install missing packages.
Any suggestions guys?
Speak later,
Wendy

Re: Windows Host - Solaris 10 Guest - CDROM will not mount
Why the "unnamed_cdrom?
Should do the trick
Will verify the device name
Moving this to Solaris guests since it fits there better.
Code: Select all
# mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 /cdrom
Code: Select all
# ls -al /dev/sr* |awk ‘{print “/” $11}’

Re: Windows Host - Solaris 10 Guest - CDROM will not mount
After fiddling around with the device options in VirtualBox manager and mounting it as a live cd I get the following:-
# df -h
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 7.8G 6.7G 1.0G 87% /
/devices 0K 0K 0K 0% /devices
ctfs 0K 0K 0K 0% /system/contract
proc 0K 0K 0K 0% /proc
mnttab 0K 0K 0K 0% /etc/mnttab
swap 3.1G 988K 3.1G 1% /etc/svc/volatile
objfs 0K 0K 0K 0% /system/object
sharefs 0K 0K 0K 0% /etc/dfs/sharetab
/usr/lib/libc/libc_hwcap1.so.1
7.8G 6.7G 1.0G 87% /lib/libc.so.1
fd 0K 0K 0K 0% /dev/fd
swap 3.1G 76K 3.1G 1% /tmp
swap 3.1G 28K 3.1G 1% /var/run
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7 41G 1.0G 40G 3% /export/home
Solaris_10 233G 173G 59G 75% /mnt/sf_Solaris_10
So it appears to have mounted but not quite in the right place and it will not let me move it or explore contents.
Any advice?

Re: Windows Host - Solaris 10 Guest - CDROM will not mount
Don't mount it as a live CD.
Just make sure that it is mounted in the guest section as a normal CD and boot/reboot the guest. vold should see this and mount it for you or you must force mount it with the command above.

Re: Windows Host - Solaris 10 Guest - CDROM will not mount
For some reason it mounted after i enabled port 1 under serial ports.
Well it worked - lol
