Create or Modify a Drive Pool

The only parameter necessary for the Disassociate Drive and Delete Drive associated commands is the drive identifier.

The Disassociate Drive and Delete Drive associated commands are available via the GUI only.

When an SA, SO, or client uses a Mount Media command and the specified drive is busy, the command is placed in a command queue or failed. To increase the likelihood of an available drive, the Mount Media command may specify a collection of drives on which to perform the mount. This collection can be a list of specific drives or a named collection of drives. Such a named collection is defined as a drive pool and is created using the Create Drive Pool command.

Features of a drive pool are:

All defined drives are available for inclusion in a drive pool

A drive does not need to be associated with an archive to be a drive pool member

A drive can be a member of multiple drive pools

Any mix of drive types can be included in a drive pool as long as the subject media types are supported by the VolServ system

A drive pool may contain zero or more drives

Besides increasing the likelihood of a successful mount, drive pools can also be used to segregate specific drives to particular user groups. This can reduce the possibility of drive contention between such groups.
