and API. There is a subset of these capabilities available to the
AO using the MOUNT option of an archive Console. Basic
mount parameters are drive identifier or media class or media
criteria, drive identifier or drive pool, and priority. The priority
is used to determine the command location in VolServ
command queue.
Optional parameters include a lock identifier (to allow
allocation of a locked drive), what archive-to-archive mount
option to use, and whether to reclassify the selected medium to
another media class.
A Multimount Media command can be used to select a parallel
mount action that mounts all media specified or is failed. This
command is available only to clients via the API. Refer to

When the Dismount Media command is executed, VolServ
software updates only the usage count drive statistic. The
current usage time, total usage time, and error count statistics
can be updated by the client during dismount via the API and
CLI only.
The Dismount Media command is available over the GUI, CLI,
