Query Mount
The Query Mount command queries drives that can be used in
a subsequent mount of a specified medium.
Upon receipt of the query request, VolServ determines which
archive contains the specified medium. If the medium is in an
archive, VolServ determines which drives in that archive (and
only that archive) are suitable (based on the medium’s type) for
mounting the medium.The drives are listed in order of
preference, based (in order of relative importance) upon their
availability, proximity to the medium, and usage time. If the
medium is not in an archive, no drive list is returned.
The report is sent only to the screen showing the status of the
query request. An example of the query mount report is shown
in the screen display below.
Query Media
The Query Media command obtains information about one or
more media and associated parameters used in the VolServ

Note
A report for all media may take some time to run if there are
many media controlled within the VolServ system.
