How to Eject a Digital Video Disc (DVD)
Manually
Before You Begin
■ Verify that no users are accessing the drive.
Note – Warn users before abruptly halting processes. The command fuser -u
/cdrom/cdrom0 helps you identify who’s accessing the ROM drive. Refer to the
Solaris System Administrator’s Guide for more information about the fuser command.
What to Do
1. Kill processes accessing the DVD drive, if necessary.
The front panel Eject button will not eject a disc while the disc is in use. To kill any
processes accessing the DVD or CD, become superuser and type the following:
% su
Password:
# fuser -k /cdrom/cdrom0
