Using pfs_mount to Mount a DVD
You can use the pfs_mount (1M) command to mount a DVD on any
supported HP-UX system updating to HP-UX 11i v1. For HP-UX 10.20,
this is the only supported method for reading DVD media with large
volumes of data.
On HP-UX 11.0 and HP-UX 11i v1 systems, you can alternately install
patches to read DVD media correctly (see “Patching Your System to Read
DVD Media” on page 161). If you have already installed the patches, you
do not need to use the pfs_mount command to mount the DVD media.
To use the pfs_mount command:
Step 1. Start the pfs daemons:
/usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
/usr/sbin/pfsd &
Step 2. Mount the DVD:
mkdir /dvdrom
pfs_mount /dev/dsk/c0t2d0 /dvdrom
