aci_driveaccess 4-19
21 Dec 2001
The drive can only be put in the DOWN status by
ACI_DRIVE_FDOWN if the drive is occupied.
A drive may only be available to a single client at a time. The
drive status is defined to be either UP (active) or DOWN
(inactive) to requesting clients. When the client sets the status
to ACI_UP, it is exclusively available to that client. If another
client already has the drive status set to ACI_UP, the request
is returned with the d_errno set to EUPELSE. If the client
indicates a status of ACI_DOWN, the drive is unavailable to the
client requesting drive access.
A drive must be empty to modify the drive access parameter
to ACI_DOWN.
