MOUNT Function

The MOUNT function of the utility program allows the mounting of one tape cartridge to

a tape drive in a tape library connected to the NonStop server. It reports an error if the

mount did not occur.

Syntax:

Run <MSMM ISV>.INTFACE/NAME/ MOUNT <tape number> <tapedrive

or NONE> <MSMM ISV location>

Example:

Run $SYSTEM.MSMM.INTFACE/NAME/ MOUNT 000001 $TAPE1

$SYSTEM.MSMM

Run $SYSTEM.MSMM.INTFACE/NAME/ MOUNT 000001 NONE $SYSTEM.MSMM

MOUNT is the function.

000001 is the tape cartridge number.

$TAPE1 is the tapedrive name or NONE if you want to use the

first available tapedrive. If you wish to mount the tape

cartridge to a drive connected via expand on another system,

you must supply the \<nodename>.<tapedrive>.

$SYSTEM.MSMM is the NonStop server location of the MSMM

software. It can be any valid $volume.subvolume. This

function could be embedded in a TACL routine, in which it

would mount the next tape cartridge generated then loop

through executing the utility function for every tape

cartridge. This would fully automate the labeling process.

When the labeling is complete, the remainder of the backup

TACL routine could then export the tape cartridges used to

the tape library.
