How to Eject a Compact Disc Manually

What to Do

The front panel Eject button will not eject a disc while the disc is in use. To kill any
processes accessing the CD-ROM drive, become superuser and type the following:
% su
Password:
# fuser -k /cdrom/cdrom0
Note - You should warn users before abruptly halting processes. The command
fuser -u /cdrom/cdrom0 helps you identify who's accessing the CD-ROM
drive. Refer to the Solaris 2.x System Administrator's Guide for more information
about the fuser command.
2. Press the Eject button on the front panel.
