Mounting the Installation Media

If you are installing using the CD or DVD, mount the installation media.

The location of the mount command is site-specific and may differ from the instructions shown here. If you cannot mount the installation media in the appropriate drive using the path shown, check your operating system documentation or contact your system administrator.

On HP-UX:
Log out, log in as “root”, and issue:
```
mount -F cdfs -o ro device_name /mnt/cdrom
```
Then, log out as “root” and log in again as “sybase.”
On IBM AIX:
Log in as “sybase” and issue:
```
mount -v 'cdrfs' -r device_name /mnt/cdrom
```
On Solaris:
The operating system automatically mounts the CD or DVD. Log in as “sybase.” If CD- or DVD-reading errors occur, check your operating system kernel to make sure that the ISO 9660 option is turned on. If you have previously installed a Sybase CD or DVD on your system, the # sign interferes with the installation process. Before installing your current CD or DVD, either:
- Restart your system, or,
- Eject the CD or DVD. Delete the Volume Label file in /vol/dsk, and reinsert the CD or DVD.
On Linux and Linux on POWER:
Log in as “sybase” and issue:
```
# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
```
