Notes

Mounted drives that have their state changed remain in-use.

 

Varying a drive has no impact on client data transfer operations

 

in progress and the client receives no automatic notification of a

 

drive state change.

 

Drives can be varied, regardless of whether or not they are

 

associated with a library.

 

Drives can be varied, regardless of whether or not they are

 

allocated; however, allocated drives that are not online cannot

 

be dismounted.

 

The unavailable state is assignable only by VolServ when a

 

higher level component in the library system is no longer

 

online. For example, varying a CLM offline causes the

 

associated drive to be viewed as unavailable.

 

The vsdrivevary command does not trigger unsolicited

 

status messages from VolServ.

 

A pending vsdrivevary request is cancelled with the VolServ

 

cancel command. 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).
