1. If the removable media service is running and online, perform the following steps:
   • Oracle Solaris 11 OS: Determine whether the removable media service is running and online.

     service# svcs rmvolmgr
     service# svcs dbus
     service# svcs hal

   • Oracle Solaris 10 OS: Determine whether the volume management daemon, vold, is running and online.

     service# svcs volfs
     STATE          STIME    FMRI

   • Oracle Solaris 10 OS, Oracle Solaris 11 OS, Oracle Solaris 11.1 OS, Oracle Solaris 11.2 OS: If the volume management daemon is running and online, do the following:
     1. In the /etc/vold.conf file, comment out the line starting with the following words:

        See the vold.conf(4) man page.

     2. Insert the CD or DVD in the CD or DVD drive.
     3. From the service domain, restart the volume management file system service.

        service# svcadm refresh volfs
        service# svcadm restart volfs

3. From the service domain, find the disk path for the CD-ROM device.

   service# cdrw -l
   Looking for CD devices...

4. Export the CD or DVD disk device as a full disk.

   primary# ldm add-vdsdev /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2 cdrom@primary-vds0

5. Assign the exported CD or DVD to the guest domain.
