ca_devmgr Option -mount Description This command takes inventory of your entire tape library. If your tape library does not have a bar code reader, it will then put all the media into the tape drive and read them. If your tape library does have a bar code reader, then you can specify whether or not to obtain the information from the database or have BrightStor ARCserve Backup read in all the media. For example, ca_devmgr -mount [ [q|l] As you can see, the changer adapter number, changer SCSI ID, changer LUN, a beginning slot and an end slot are required. The beginning slot and end slot can be any slot number, as long as the slots conform to the group you are mounting. The end slot cannot be smaller than the beginning slot. Here, the q or l options are optional. The q stands for a quick mount, that is, if your tape library has a bar code reader, it will obtain the information from the BrightStor ARCserve Backup database. The q is the default switch for tape libraries with bar code readers. The l stands for long mount, which will force BrightStor ARCserve Backup to put each tape into the tape drive and read the information on it. Of course, if your tape library has no bar code reader, the q switch will not work, therefore, each tape has to be read in by the tape drive. B-34 Administrator Guide
