On HP-UX

For version 11.11:

• Start the pfs mount daemon and the pfs daemon:

  shell> nohup pfs_mountd &
  shell> nohup pfsd &

• Then create the directory to mount to and run the pfs_mount command:

  shell> mkdir /cdrom
  shell> pfs_mount -o xlat=UNIX /path/to/isofile /cdrom

Version 11.31

• Create a new logical volume say ‘iso’ of size slightly greater than the size of your iso image in MB. You can do this from the admin tool-sam, or by using the following command.

  shell>lvcreate -L size_of_your_iso -n iso /dev/vg00

• Write your iso to the new volume. Needless to say, you must have the required free space.

  shell>dd if=path/to/iso of=/dev/vg00/riso bs=64

• Now mount it on the directory of your choice, say /cdrom:

  shell>mount /dev/vg00/iso /cdrom

On Solaris

• Make the iso image accessible through the block device. (See the lofiadm man page for more details)

  shell> lofiadm -a /path/to/iso/your_isao.iso

• Then mount it wherever you want to, say on /cdrom

  shell> mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/lofi/1 /cdrom

On Linux

• Use the following command to mount on the directory of your choice, say /mnt/myisodir

  mount -o loop myiso.iso /mnt/myisodir
