It is also possible that some drives’ data paths at a site may be
connected to computers not associated with one network. In this
case, drive pools can be created to segregate between the drives
connected to different networks.
The Modify Drive Pool command allows drives to be added to
or deleted from an existing drive pool.
Parameters for Create and Modify Drive Pool commands are
drive pool name and a list of drive identifiers to be added to or
removed from a drive pool.
Delete a Drive
Pool
The Delete Drive Pool command removes a drive pool from the
VolServ database. Parameters for the Delete Drive Pool
command are drive pool name and priority. The priority is used
to determine the command location in VolServ command
queue.
Mount Media on
a Drive
In its simplest form, the Mount Media command is issued to
mount a specific medium on a specific drive. However, a
Mount Media command can be specified several different
ways:
• Mount by (media identifier or media list or media class) and
(drive identifier or drive pool)
• Mount by criteria and (drive identifier or drive pool)
The simplest method is to mount by media identifier and drive
identifier. When the specified medium or drive is busy, the
Mount Media command waits in a queue until both are
available. When both are available, the Mount Media command
allocates both the drive and media and begins processing of the
physical mount. Mounting by media identifier and drive
identifier allows selection of a drive in another archive, unless
prevented by a Mount Media command option.
