ADIC 601356 manual Vsmount

Command Reference

vsmount

Mounts media onto a drive.

When issuing a Mount command, the client can specify one of the following.

•Single media.

•List of media.

•MediaClass group.

•And:

-Specific drive.

-Drive pool.

-Drive pool with the exclusion of drives.

The vsmount command’s lock identifier parameter.is required if the drive to be used in satisfying the vsmount request has been previously locked with a vslock request. If a vsmount request is run for a locked drive and does not specify a lock identifier, VolServ waits until the requested drive is unlocked.

The client can also specify how to handle a vsmount request that requires an inter-library movement of the media. This option indicates whether an inter-library media movement should or should not be attempted and whether to consider if the source and destination libraries are operator-attended or not.

If more than one media and or a drive pool is specified on the vsmount command, VolServ applies a selection algorithm to select media and drive pair from the list of media and available drives.
