Stopping the Remote CD Manager

If your distribution source was a CD on a remote installation server, cdinstmgr is still running on the installation server (see "Preparing the Remote CD-ROM Drive"). Follow this procedure to stop cdinstmgr:

  1. Go to the remote server or use a remote login.

  2. Type "quit" at the prompt.

    This prompt is posted until you stop cdinstmgr (see "Preparing the Remote CD-ROM Drive"):

    CD on CDdir for host hostname: type the word "done" when you are finished with this CD, "quit" if you are completely done: quit

  3. You might see this message from cdinstmgr:

    CD on CDdir for host hostname: the CD-ROM daemon was started by you,leave it running? (y/n)

    If you answer yes, the CD is not ejected and cdromd(1M), which was started by cdinstmgr, is not stopped. If you answer no, cdinstmgr attempts to eject the CD and stop cdromd. If the CD is in use, this message is displayed and the CD is ejected:

    CDdir: Device or resource busy

  4. Eject the CD, if you wish.

    To eject the CD, enter the eject(1) command at the installation server or from the remote login session:

    % eject

    If the CD is in use, this command fails and the CD is not ejected.
