Managing locks on virtual tapes
Pools are locked when VTS needs uninterrupted access to any of the cartridges in a pool. The Virtual
Media - Mounts and Locks page enables you to view current locks on pools and virtual tapes. Under
normal conditions, manual lock maintenance is not necessary; these locks are created and deleted by
the VTS processes. Removing a lock here should only be done if a VTS process terminated
abnormally.
To view locks
Requires the Virtual Tape Mounts and Locks access right
Click Administration > Mounts and Locks on the navigation pane.
The bottom of the page shows the current locks, which ensure that virtual tapes are only accessed by
one process at a time.
