    I am trying to copy openssh/ssl from a cd to my VIO client lpar but when I try to mount my cdrfs file system with the mount -r -v cdrfs /dev/cd0 /cdrom I get /cdrom

    format errors "Media is not formatted or the format is not correct".

    I have reformatted but to no avail. What format is AIX looking for here?

    I have a 9115-505 and a 7310 CR3 HMC. I have tried both CDRAM and CD RW media.
