Using Your CD-ROM Drive

Your CD-ROM Drive Configuration
Your HP-UX operating system comes with preconfigured device files and drivers. If you
use these preconfigured device files and drivers, you won’t need to configure your
CD-ROM drive with the operating system.
To create your own device files, you must reconfigure your drive with the operating
system. Y
ou can use either the System Administration Manager (SAM) or HP-UX
commands to set up the kernel and device files. With each, you must perform the
following steps:
1. Check the kernel for a device driver. If the device driver is not there, you must create
one and then reconfigure the kernel.
2. Create the appropriate device files.
3. Add a CD-ROM file system (cdfs).
