If more than one medium and/or more than one drive is
specified on the Mount request, VolServ applies a selection
algorithm to select a medium/drive pair from the lists of media
and drives.
For manual archives, a Mount notice is sent to the operator
console for action. The operator is then responsible for
confirmation to VolServ when the mount is complete. VolServ
returns status to the client after the operator action is complete.
A Mount request is queued for later processing if:
• Specified/selected drive is busy.
• Specified/selected medium is busy.
• Specified/selected drive is locked and a Lock identifier was
not specified on the Mount request.
When a Mount request is queued for later processing, VolServ
returns intermediate status to the client that indicates the reason
the Mount request was queued.
