Cannot mount an ISO file OEL 6.4

[root@collabn1 dev]# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media
mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0
I'm trying to mount the OEL 6.4 ISO file which is attached to VirtualBox 4.3.x on my Macbook.
I have OEL 6.4 installed on Vbox, but now I want to mount the ISO. Is there missing tools that need to be installed or something else?

There is no additional software or tools required. The error message means that you do not have the disk image attached to your virtual machine. You first need to attach the iso image to your virtual machine by using the VM devices menu, or by dragging and dropping the iso disk image file onto the disk icon in the virtual machine toolbar. Then you issue the following command:
mount -o loop /dev/cdrom /media

  • Cannot Mount Any ISO in Windows 8.1 Pro

    I cannot mount any ISO images on my Windows 8.1 Pro machine.  I have tried the "Mount" under right-click as well as Powershell with the same results. From the UI, I get a simple message "Sorry there was a problem mounting the file."
    while from Powershell I get an HResult that from searching seems to be rather generic.
    I have followed the idea about upper filter and lower filter.  I have made sure that the ISO is not "sparse".  I made sure that ISO's are associated with Windows Explorer. I have tried a number of ISO's all from either TechNet or MSDN
    with the same results.  ProcMon doesn't really offer anything useful as the number of entries is overwhelming to try to limit to just mounting an image.
    I read several posts where drive letters were an issue, but no guidance was given regarding what drive letter the virtual drive preferred.
    I can mount the same ISO files on another Windows 8.1 Pro machine, so it isn't the ISO itself.
    Any ideas? I have spent the entire day working on this problem and I really need some help.
    Thanks,
    Glen

    I was struggling with this too. I found that the problem is a 'sparse' attribute that gets added by the Akamai downloader (known bug).  To fix just copy the ISO (and the VHD) files to another folder this removes the (P).  I found the answer at:

  • [SOLVED] Error mounting an ISO file located in an EncFS folder

    I have some multimedia files inside an EncFS folder (decrypted via cryptkeeper).
    When trying to loop mount the ISO files I get:
    mount: foo.iso: failed to setup loop device: Permission denied
    There's no error mounting the same ISO from a «regular» FS.
    Is there a way around this?
    Last edited by JoaoVidal (2014-02-24 06:36:42)

    unSpawn at linuxquestions.org answered:
    See 'man encfs': the warning at "--public" and 'man fuse': "allow_other"
    Without setting the option 'public' in encfs or 'allow_other' is fuse, not even root can access the encfs mount and therefore mounting fails (sudo mount...).
    Also, cryptkeeper now has the preference "Allow other users to access mounted folders" which gives exactly this kind of permission.

  • Mount cdrom_img (iso file) using CLI

    Hello all,
    I will like to mount a ISO file for OS install from the CLI and not the JAVA WEB UI.
    I Read that there is a StorageRedir file and stuff but I have problem to make it start (The Guide is very pure).
    My goal in the end is to install a server from CLI using Scripts and Code without human interruption.
    Thanks

    I will try to add more info:
    All of my servers are remote mange.
    The only way that I am able to connect to them is using network or ILOM.
    So in the end my question if some one have any recontamination on the way to work with the servers regardless to the OS and Platform ?
    Edited by: 838225 on Feb 20, 2011 4:15 AM... lofiadm and mount are OS commands.
    They are not functions native to the ILOM sub-platform, nor to OBP.
    You don't have a hardware component
    (such as a PSU or DIMM or a failing fan or a bezel LED, etc)
    barking an error at you, you have a system administration question.
    Your method of establishing a console connection is irrelevant to how you would handle the question.

    I did, but couldn't find what I was looking for.
    I got fuseiso to work, and that will do the trick, so I'm marking this one solved.
    (I simply had to give 'others' write access to the mount point)

    Hi :
    could you give the instruction how to mount an iso file to be acting as the CD-Rom?

    sorry, i didn't get your point.
    I tried with the following commands:
    mkdir -p /mnt/disk

  • Why can't I mount an ISO file?  OSX 10.7.5

    I'm trying to install some software that is an ISO.  My mac treats it as a zip file.
    I'm running OSX 10.7.5 and these ISO files are fairly new. 
    I've repaired disc permissions, tried to get the files on this machine in many different ways, like mounted disk images using flash drives, zipping the files, etc..
    They work on my Quad Core Pro at work, same OS.  Any help would be appreciated. 
    Thanks!

    Oh my gosh.  I've changed the ext. on other files before but didn't think you could do that to Installers! Thanks so much.

  • Automator to mount multiple ISO files on external USB drives

    I have several ISO files on an external USB drive on a Mac mini. Double clicking on any of the ISO mounts it, one at a time.
    I need to have an automator that mounts ALL ISO it can see on a given USB external drive. I have written an Apple script but that hangs up the Mac mini. I need help because I am not familiar with Applescript or Apple automator. I used Unix years ago, butg have a hard time with AppleScript.

    Macs can't normally write to NTFS drives:
    http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=7426620&messageID=4582486
    Your other problem sounds like another computer has the files open or application has the files open simultaneously. Try shutting down your Mac, and isolating your Mac from any network and try rebooting again in safe mode by holding the shift key at startup.

  • Cannot mount a .dmg file

    I just received a Slingbox Pro for the holidays. I downloaded their software, which is in the form of a dmg file. After the download it would not mount. The people at SlingBox are clueless. I'm waiting for a Mac specialist to call me back.
    Any idea why it is not mounting? Just as a test I downloaded iTunes because it too is a dmg file and it mounted. They think it is some setting regarding a firewall or the like. Help...
    Scott

    That means that perhaps the file you downloaded got a little messed up on its way to your computer, or perhaps the checksum information wasnt included in the original file. Disk images have checksums to ensure the integrity of the disk image is ok. It works by summing up the number of bits and bytes in the image/file according to a summation algorithm that will give you a specific "checksum" number. The file should contain the checksum number (created and embedded in the file when the original disk image was created) that your computer compares to it's checksum number that it gets when it runs the same algorithm upon mounting the disk image. If the image is intact, then the checksums will match, but if the original checksum is missing or they dont match, then the disk will be avoided for fear of corrupt data, etc.
    I'd recommend re-downloading the file, but if you want to try one more thing with this one, open "Disk Utility" and in the preferences uncheck the "Verify checksum" option. Then go to the file menu and select the option to open a disk image and hope it mounts without checksum verification. If it's just a checksum error where the checksum number is missing, then the contents should be fine and you should be able to install the program, but if there's a problem with the disk image then its likely the installer files will be corrupted and you will get errors. Its worth a shot...

  • Since Mavericks, I can't mount ISO files on my Mac over a network

    Since upgrading to OS X Mavericks, when I want to mount an ISO file on my Mac from my Windows 8.1 PC, I get an error saying it can't mount it. I have to copy the file to the PC to mount the ISO file.
    Is this due to how Mavericks switched from AFP/SMB to SMB2? Is there a way to fix this?

    Same issue here.  Anyone have a fix for this - how to open an iso file in Mavericks?

  • How do I use an ISO file on my Mac?

    From everything I have read online I should be able to mount an iso file using Disk  Utility or Disk Mounter Utility.  None of this works.  I continue to get the message that my file cannot be read.  A box comes up saying "File cannot be opened" and the "reason" is lited as being 'not recognized."  What do I do?  If anybody has any ideas I've love to heart them.  Thanks.

    Just a guess:
    I think an .inf file is a text script to install Windows software. So, you can READ the file, probably,  by dropping it on TextEdit. But to use it you would have to be running Windows on your MBP.

  • Bug-Report: Hyper-V - VM shutdown process hangs after unmount ISO file on host computer

    Hello Microsoft team,
    my HYPER-V VM hangs after I did follow things:
    First I mount an ISO file into my Windows 8.1 Enterprise host (e.g. drive letter X:)
    Now I mount X: into my VM (gen. 1)
    Then I lost connection to X: on my host (e.g. unmount X: on my host computer)
    Now when I shutdown my VM, it will be hangs.
    I reproduced this on three computers with windows 8.1.
    Thanks for help and feedback,
    Gunnar

    Hello Gunnar,
    What do you mean about the sentence ‘mount X: into my VM (gen. 1)’?
    If I mount the Windows 8.1 ISO to drive H:, and then try to install the VM gen 1, it has no issues.
    If I just install the VM gen1 by using the Windows 8.1 ISO that have been mounted to drive H:, I still can’t find the issue.
