Mount the OSA USB Flash Drive on an Oracle Solaris 11.2 OS

If the server is running the Oracle Solaris 11.2, you must mount the OSA USB flash drive before you use the filesystem to display or access its contents.

1. Turn off the volfs service.

   # svcadm disable volfs

2. Identify the USB flash drive.

   # rmformat -l

   The system displays a list of devices:

   Looking for devices...
   1. Logical Node: /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0p0
      Physical Node:
   /pci@0,0/pci108e,484e@1a/hub@1/storage@2/disk@0,0
      Connected Device: ORACLE    SSM    PMAP
      Device Type: Removable
      #

3. Create a mount point to use when mounting the OSA USB flash drive.

   For example:

   # mkdir /mnt/OSA

4. Manually mount the USB flash drive, read-only.

   # mount -F pcfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c1t0d0p1 /mnt/OSA

   The OSA USB flash drive is now mounted at the mount location specified.
