Mounting the content of the removable media at the HMC

6.10 LPAR mode z/VM guest

Use the hmcdrvfs command to mount the content of the removable media at the HMC.

Before you begin

Your Linux® instance must have access to the removable media of the HMC.

You can mount the content of the removable media at the HMC in read-only mode on the Linux file system.

Optional: Confirm that your are accessing the intended content by issuing the lshmc command.
Mount the media content by issuing a command of this form:
```
# hmcdrvfs <mountpoint>
```
where <mountpoint> is the mount point on the Linux file system.
Example: The following command mounts the media content at /mnt/hmc:
```
# hmcdrvfs /mnt/hmc
```

You can now access the files on the media in read-only mode through the Linux file system.

When you no longer need access to the media content, unmount the media with the fusermount command.
