CASPUR Tape Dispatcher
Site-specific tape mounter command, /bin/tapemounter.
This command is intended for manipulation of ALL media changers defined in the
tape dispatcher configuration file. It may be anything - a binary, a shell or
a perl script - wrapped around existing hardware-specific mounter commands, such as
mtx,
mcutil,
acsls etc.
The command should return "0" in case of success, "1" in case of failure, and
be able to accept these 4 command-line arguments:
- -L <library> - specifies library identifier
- -D <drive> - specifies drive identifier
- -T <vid> - specifies the VID of tape to be mounted
- -U - "unload" flag
Examples of usage:
- /bin/tapemounter -L STK2 -D 0,1,1 -T CAS098
(loads a tape with VID=CAS098 on drive "0,1,1" inside library STK2)
- /bin/tapemounter -L IBM1 -D 3 -U
(attempts to unload the drive "3" inside library IBM1)
A sample implementation of this command able to handle two different libraries
is included in downloadable distro.
