Figure 4-54 aci_foreign Function Call
When a foreign volume named volser of media type has been
added to or removed from the AML system in a foreign mount
area, DAS must be informed of the status. This function
notifies DAS of the existence of the volume, and its coordinate.
If added, the volume can be used simply by referencing this
volser and type in a further aci_mount() or aci_dismount()
request. See Table 4-25.
