Mounting an optical disk on an operator-accessible drive

When the system requests a shelf-resident volume, the following message is displayed requesting you to mount an optical disk cartridge on an operator-accessible optical drive:

CBR4400A Mount volume volser on drive drive-name. Shelf location is shelfloc.

If the volser is ??????, the request is for an unlabeled optical volume. Locate an unlabeled optical disk cartridge and load it on drive drive-name.

If a volume serial number is specified in volser, the request is for an already labeled optical volume. Locate the optical disk cartridge and load it into the drive drive-name. The system issues the following message:

CBR4401I Volume volser mounted on drive drive-name.

The volume is now ready for the system to use.

Recommendations:

You can also mount an optical disk on an operator-accessible optical drive without waiting for a request from the system. To mount the optical disk, vary the operator-accessible optical drive offline, load the optical disk cartridge into the drive, and vary the drive online.
The system places a response time limitation of five minutes from the time the operator mount message is received on the console to the time the mount is completed. If the mount is not completed within the allotted time, the operator has the option of canceling or retrying the optical disk mount.
