Command Reference

2-111

If a specified or selected drive was previously locked and the 

vsmount

 request does not specify a lock identifier, VolServ 

returns a message to the client that the selected drive is locked 
and VolServ is waiting for the drive to become unlocked to 
continue execution of the command.

If the 

vsmount

 request specifies a MediaClass group and the -n 

newmediaclass option is specified, the reclassify to a different 
MediaClass group occurs only after VolServ selects the media 
to satisfy the 

vsmount

 request. Only the selected media is 

reclassified. The remaining media in the MediaClass group are 
not reclassified.

•

If the -n newmediaclass option is specified, the receiving 
MediaClass group is checked for compatible media type, as 
well as for adequate room for another media (i.e., fill level 
less than capacity). 

•

If either of these conditions is not satisfied, the 

vsmount

 

request fails.

A pending 

vsmount

 request (waiting for a drive or media) is 

cancelled with the VolServ Cancel request. 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). 

The 

vsmount

 request fails if no specified drive is online.

If media or drive is specified and either the media or drive (or 
both) are presently in use, the 

vsmount

 request waits for 

resources and a message is returned to the client that indicates 
the reason for the delay.

When specifying a drive pool that contains drives that support 
different types of media, only those drives that support the 
media type of the media specified in the 

vsmount

 request are 

considered for selection.
