Command Reference

If a specified or selected drive was previously locked and the vsmount request does not specify a lock identifier, VolServ returns a message to the client that the selected drive is locked and VolServ is waiting for the drive to become unlocked to continue execution of the command.

If the vsmount request specifies a MediaClass group and the -nnewmediaclass option is specified, the reclassify to a different MediaClass group occurs only after VolServ selects the media to satisfy the vsmount request. Only the selected media is reclassified. The remaining media in the MediaClass group are not reclassified.

•If the -nnewmediaclass option is specified, the receiving MediaClass group is checked for compatible media type, as well as for adequate room for another media (i.e., fill level less than capacity).

•If either of these conditions is not satisfied, the vsmount request fails.

A pending vsmount request (waiting for a drive or media) is cancelled with the VolServ Cancel request. The VolServ cancel command is run from the command line by sending a SIGQUIT signal (control-\). The request also is aborted by sending the SIGINT signal (control-c).

The vsmount request fails if no specified drive is online.

If media or drive is specified and either the media or drive (or both) are presently in use, the vsmount request waits for resources and a message is returned to the client that indicates the reason for the delay.

When specifying a drive pool that contains drives that support different types of media, only those drives that support the media type of the media specified in the vsmount request are considered for selection.
