/dev/rdsk/c0t6d0s2: No such file or directory

Cause

When attempting to eject a CD-ROM on a Ultra 450 system, the eject cdrom command fails, displaying the error message.

This is because the CD-ROM is on controller 1 not 0. For the eject(1) command, the cdrom "nickname" equates to /dev/rdsk/c0t6d0s2. On an Ultra 450, the CD-ROM is /dev/rdsk/c1t6d0s2. So, using cdrom does not work.

Action

Use the following command instead:

# eject cdrom0

# eject /dev/rdsk/c1t6d0s2

Note: Make sure that the front panel of the system is unobstructed so that the CD-ROM tray is not blocked. Otherwise, the eject(1) command appears to hang since the tray is trying to open but is physically blocked.
