The mount by media identifier and drive pool method is used when a higher likelihood of mounting a specific medium without waiting is desired. It is possible that the specific medium could be mounted on any one of the drives listed in the drive pool. Therefore, a user should not use a drive pool if it contains a drive to which the user does not have access.

A drive selection algorithm is used to select the best drive to satisfy the command. The algorithm attempts to use a drive in the same archive as the medium. However, a drive in another archive can be selected unless prevented by a Mount Media command option. The resulting medium/drive pair is chosen to satisfy the command.

The mount by media list and drive identifier method is used when the specific medium to be mounted is unimportant except for a specific list of candidates. A medium selection algorithm is used to first select media that are in the same archive as the drive. The second criterion is the medium with the lowest mount count. The resulting medium/drive pair is chosen to satisfy the command.

The mount by media list and drive pool method can be used when a specific medium or drive used to satisfy the mount is not important. A special set of criteria are used to select the best medium/drive pair from these candidates. The archive containing the most available drives from the specified drive pool is selected first. A tie is broken by using the archive with the largest number of applicable media from the media list. The media from the media list that are in the selected archive are then candidates. Other criteria can reduce the selection to one medium/drive pair but are beyond the scope of this book. However, a list of all possible medium/drive pairs is eventually developed and reduced to the most likely candidate. The resulting medium/drive pair is chosen to satisfy the command.
