mount_cmd
This parameter defines the mount command for the automatic mounting of a tape. The command is called locally for backup_dev_type = tape_box; for backup_dev_type = pipe_box it is called on a machine defined in parameter remote_host.
Syntax: mount_cmd = <cmd>
Default: none
If backup_dev_type = tape_box | pipe_box is defined, then this parameter must be defined in the initialization profile. For more information, see backup_dev_type.
The mount command has its own options.
mount_cmd = "<mount_cmd> $ $ $ [$]"
<mount_cmd>: Command name
For example, command name might be mount.csh.
Do not forget to enclose the parameter specifications composed of several values in double quotes. The $ characters stand, in the following order, for:
...
1. The name of the database to be backed up
2. The addresses of the tape devices
3. The tape names
4. Optional: Name of a file for additional configuration parameters (parameter: mount_par_file)
The dismount or mount command must be created by the user in the form of a program, a shell script or a batch file.
If the mount command has been performed successfully the exit code 0 is displayed. No other output is displayed. The only possible outputs not recognized as errors are messages beginning with the characters #INFO.
