MOUNT Function
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 <SMM ISV>.INTFACE/NAME/ MOUNT <tape number> <tapedrive or
NONE> <SMM ISV location>
Example:
Run $SYSTEM.SMM.INTFACE/NAME/ MOUNT 000001 $TAPE1 $SYSTEM.SMM
Run $SYSTEM.SMM.INTFACE/NAME/ MOUNT 000001 NONE $SYSTEM.SMM
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.SMM is the NonStop server location of the SMM
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.
