The following seems to work on Solaris!
Determine correct cdrom device and stop automount.
cdrecord -scanbus
/etc/init.d/volmgt stop
Insert Source CD in drive and read the cd (this creates an ISO image).
readcd -V dev=0,0,0 f=/burn/some.iso
Now insert a fresh CD into the drive and burn the ISO:
cdrw -i /burn/some.iso
/etc/init.d/volmgt start
Thanks,
Andreas
