Configuring Optical Disk Drives

To use HP optical disk drives, the system must recognize the optical drives as disk drives
at system boot time. If you are adding HP 1.2 gigabyte or equivalent model
magneto-optical disk drives to an AIX system, the system may not recognize them as disk
drives and cannot use them.
▼ To detect whether the system recognizes the optical drives
1. Execute the following command after system boot.
/usr/sbin/lsdev -C -s scsi
2. If you see the appropriate controller and SCSI ID combination for the optical drive

1. Install the ovpass driver if it is not already installed. See “The SCSI Passthru Driver

communicate with the optical drive.

following command: /usr/sbin/lsdev -C -s scsi
