I have a server running 5.3 and the only way to get the eject button on the cdrom is to run "unmount -f 'cdmountpoint'", then "stopsrc -s cdromd". The eject button will now work on the cdrom. Then if I want to use another cd, I have to "startsrc -s cdromd", etc.... Is there some other steps I can take to make this less painful? We don't use a lot of CD's, but when we do I'd like it to be as efficient as possible. Should the CD be automounted? I've dug around and can not find the "for sure" steps...

    The following commands:
    • cdeject
    • cdumount
    • cdmount

    I haven't these as I am not next to my pSeries box at the moment :-)

    Also found in the AIX manual pages at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pseries/v5r3/index.jsp
    and search for cdeject

    Hope this helps, N
