Monitoring removable-media mounts from the administrative client

To monitor the mounting and dismounting of removable media, run the administrative client in mount mode. When the client is running in mount mode, you cannot enter any administrative commands.

Procedure

  • To start an administrative client session in mount mode, enter the following command:
    dsmadmc -mountmode

    You are prompted for a password if authentication is turned on for the server. If you do not want to be prompted for your user ID and password, enter the DSMADMC command with the -ID and -PASSWORD options.

  • To end an administrative client session in mount mode, use a keyboard break sequence.
    Operating system Break sequence
    UNIX and Linux® clients Ctrl+C
    Windows clients Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Break
