How do I mount the IMSpost CD on my Unix workstation?

CATEGORY: INSTALLATION
TYPE: UNIX
IMS VERSION: 7.1
PLATFORM: ALL

1) On SGI and Sun workstations, the CD should mount by itself.

2 ) On IBM workstations, you can use the following commands:
you need to be super-user (root):
(i.e. if /dev/cd0 is your CD device address):
crfs -v cdrfs -d /dev/cd0 -m /cdrom -p ro
mount /cdrom
(the CD will be mounted on /cdrom)
to unmount the CD-ROM:
umount /cdrom
rmfs /cdrom

3) On HP workstations, use the following tool, as a super-user (root):
sam
Select "Disks & File Systems"
Select "File Systems"
Select menu "Actions"
Select "Add Local File System"
Select "Not using the Logical Volume Manager"
Select your CD-ROM Drive from list
Choose /cdrom as mount point
Confirm action and exit

on HP, you can alternatively use the following commands:
su
mkdir /cdrom
mount -F cdfs -o cdcase /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom
(replace /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 by your correct CD path)
the option -o cdcase makes the cd files to be listed using long names
and lower case, instead of the iso9660 convention (upper case
names followed by ;1)
