Intransit Media (Mount)

In some cases, a medium may be moved to another archive because of a Mount Media command. Any medium that is ejected from the source archive by the AO, but not entered into the target archive, is placed in the intransit state. This state indicates that media are known by VolServ software and are destined for entry into an archive, but are not actually resident in an archive.

Lock a Drive

The Lock Drive command is used to reserve a drive, a list of

 

drives, or a drive pool for exclusive use. Locking a drive

 

prevents its allocation by any Mount Media command that does

 

not provide a lock identifier. The lock identifier is contained in

 

the return status for a Lock Drive command.

 

When reserved drives are no longer needed, the client issues an

 

Unlock Drive command. The SA or SO may also issue an

 

Unlock Drive command to free the drive.

 

For detailed information about this command, refer to the

 

VSCMD_Lock command in the MSTM-V21-010 API

 

Programmer’s Guide.

Unlock a Drive

Only a client can issue a Lock Drive command via the API.

 

Refer to “Lock a Drive” on page 4-22. The Unlock Drive

 

command is used to clear a locked drive so that it can be

 

allocated to another mount.

 

The unlock drive parameters are the unlock drive identifier and

 

priority. The priority is used to determine the command location

 

in VolServ command queue.

Vary Drive

At times it is necessary to make a drive unavailable for use. The

 

Vary Drive command is used to disable a drive.
