Manual mount devices

Device pools for manual mount devices are used to determine if an appropriate device is available (based on the defined media types) for a particular media type. If a drive from a device list is available, the mount request will be issued for a specific drive.

If none of the drives in the list are available, the device pool will be searched periodically for a free device until the mount times out. Multiple DevPool statements can be entered for the same device pool if multiple lines of device addresses are required.

Example:

DevPool,           /* Define a device pool for manual devices          */
    3490L,         /* Device pool name                                 */
    600-601        /* Device pool devices                              */
 
DevPool,           /* Define a device pool for manual devices          */
    3490M,         /* Device pool name                                 */
    500 501        /* Device pool devices                              */
