Syntax Syntax

```
mount_cmd = <cmd>
```

End of the code.

Default value: none

If backup_dev_type = tape_box | pipe_box is defined, then you must define this parameter 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:

Name of the database to be backed up
Addresses of the tape devices
Tape names
Optional: name of a file for additional configuration parameters (parameter: mount_par_file)

Caution

The user must create the dismount or mount command 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.

End of the caution.
