2-102 Command Reference 601356 Rev A
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.
