This window allows you to view/update the information associated with an HPSS drive. The PVL Drive
Information window is typically used to lock and unlock drives since newly configured drives are locked
by default and must be unlocked to be used. It may also be used to determine which volume is mounted
on the drive when the drive reports a mount error condition.
Any changes made to fields on this window are saved in metadata and sent directly to the PVL and thus
are effective immediately. Thus the changes are dynamic.
Field Descriptions

is used in communications between the PVL and the PVR that controls removable media operations for
