Queuing of object copy sessions
Timeout
When an object copy session is started, Data Protector tries to allocate all needed resources. The session is queued until the required minimum resources are available. If the resources are still unavailable after the timeout, the session is aborted. The timeout period can be set using the SmWaitForDevice global option.
Mount requests in an object copy session
What is a mount request?
A mount request in an object copy session is issued when a source or a target medium needed for the object copy operation is not available.
Responding to a mount request
Responding to a mount request includes providing the required medium and confirming the mount request. If the required source medium has media copies, you can provide a copy instead of the original medium.
