Unable to Restart Redirected CD-ROM While Running Solaris OS

Affected OS

Solaris 10 6/06

Problem

You might be unable to mount a redirected CD-ROM device from a Server Module (blade) running the Solaris Operating System if redirection of the KVMS remote CD-ROM device is stopped and/or restarted because Solaris Volume Manager (vold) might become confused. [this is confusing.]

Workaround

Stop and restart Solaris Volume Manager on the blade. Type:

% su
Password: <root_password>
# /etc/init.d/volmgt stop
# /etc/init.d/volmgt start
