DVD R discs not being read
902480Dec 21 2011 — edited Dec 23 2011Hi I have a SunFire V215 SPARC server currently running Solaris 10 11/06. I'm trying to upgrade to Solaris 10 8/11 and I've burnt the DVD image onto a DVD-R and DVD+R disc. The problem I'm having is the server will just not recognise the discs and refuses to mount them or show anything from them. The system has been setup (not by me I'm a newbie) so that when you insert a CD or DVD it auto mounts and appears on the desktop. When I insert the original Solaris 10 11/06 DVD which is an original ORACLE factory pressed DVD it loads up fine. I asked ORACLE to send me the original media but all they did was burnt the image onto a DVD R and sent that to me and that doesn't load either. All factory pressed DVDs work fine. DVD R discs don't. At first I thought faulty hardware (PANASONIC) so ORACLE sent me a new player (TEAC) but that does exactly the same. I'm guessing I'm missing a patch or some hardware configuration setting but have no idea what it is. ORACLE support takes days to respond to any queries and I'm lost as to what to try next. Any advice please? Many Thanks in advance.
