A DVD is not a disk so it is not listed there. It will probably be defined as sr0. Anyway, the best way to find out is to install the tool lsscsi using yum. Here is the example of the output from lsscsi on my laptop : # lsscsi [0:0:0:0] disk ATA ST910021AS 4.06 /dev/sda [4:0:0:0] cd/dvd HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4083N 1.08 /dev/sr0 So that should help you indentify your devices.
