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).
