HP Data Protector Operations Guide

Resolving mount requests
Data Protector issues a mount request if either it requires a specific medium to read data from, or
it needs more media but none are available in the device.
To resolve the mount request, add additional media or cancel the device:
• To confirm the mount request, insert the required medium into the device and click
Confirm Mount Request. Alternatively, use
omnimnt on the Data Protector CLI to
confirm the mount request.
• To cancel the device with the mount request, click Cancel Device. The data specified for
that device will not be backed up, restored, or copied.
The following popup will show when a mount request is issued:
When a pool has poor media in it, and a mount request is issued, use the media pre-allocation list
to specify which media to use. Click on the device properties, and add the media that needs to be
allocated.
