VolServ generates no intermediate status in response to a
Mount request.
VSCMD_Mount does not trigger any MediaClass callbacks
from VolServ.
Depending on the number of available drives and pending
Mount requests, a specific Mount request can take a relatively
long time to satisfy.
A drive that is specified in a Mount request may not be the ideal
drive on which to mount the specified medium. It may take
considerably longer to mount the medium onto the drive than if
a drive pool had been specified.
The VSID_MOVEWAIT_OPTION option has no affect on a
Mount request for a medium and drive associated with the same
archive.
If the specified drive is locked, the appropriate lock identifier
must be supplied if that drive is considered in the selection
process.
If a specified or selected drive is locked and the Mount request
does not specify a lock identifier, VolServ returns an
intermediate status message with a “drive locked” indication.
VolServ then waits for the drive to become unlocked to
continue execution of the command.
If the Mount request specifies a MediaClass group or a list of
media and the reclassify option is selected, the reclassify to a
different MediaClass group occurs after a specific medium is
selected to satisfy the Mount request. Only the selected
medium is reclassified.
