Directory mount facility for Windows systems
The attached mountvol command into Windows supports the directory mount, but it does not
support the directory mount function that flushes the system buffer associated to a logical drive
such as in UNIX systems. The directory mount structure on Windows is only symbolical link between
a directory and Volume{guid}, illustrated in
Figure 68 (page 182) below. As such, RAID Manager
supports the function to discover the mounted volumes by a directory, and supports the operation
to mount/unmount with the subcommand option.
Figure 68 Directory mount structure
Volume discovery for directory mounted volume: RAID Manager can discover the directory mounted
volume by using $LETALL that shows the relationship between logical drive and the physical volumes.
The KEY WORD ($LETALL)can also be used with the raidscan -findand mkconf commands.
D:\HORCM\etc>inqraid $LETALL -CLI
DEVICE_FILE PORT SERIAL LDEV CTG H/M/12 SSID R:Group PRODUCT_ID
D:\Vol2\Dsk7 - - - - - - - DDRS-34560D
D:\hd1\Vol8\Dsk0 CL2-F 61459 448 - s/s/ss 0005 1:01-01 OPEN-3
D:\hd2\Vol9\Dsk1 CL2-F 61459 449 - s/s/ss 0005 1:01-01 OPEN-3
G:\Dms1\Dsk2 CL2-K 61456 256 - s/s/ss 0005 1:01-11 OPEN-3
G:\Dms1\Dsk3 CL2-K 61456 257 - s/s/ss 0005 1:01-11 OPEN-3
G:\Dms1\Dsk4 CL2-K 61456 258 - s/s/ss 0005 1:01-11 OPEN-3
Subcommand for directory mounted volume: RAID Manager supports the directory mount with the
-x mount
,-x unmount,-x sync option so that the directory mount can be used to
mount/unmount the S-VOL.
Mount and Sync used Volume{GUID} for Windows: RAID Manager supports the mountcommand
option specified in the device object name, such as \Device\Harddiskvolume X. Windows
changes the device number for the device object name after recovering from a failure of the
PhysicalDrive. As a result, the mountcommand specified in the device object name may fail.
Therefore, RAID Manager supports a mountcommand option that specifies a Volume{GUID} as
well as the device object name.
•
Mount
◦ The mountcommand option specifies a Volume{GUID} as well as the device object name.
◦ If a Volume{GUID} is specified, then it is executed by converting a Volume{GUID} to a
device object name.
◦ Discover the Volume{GUID}s by using inqraid $Volu -fv command option.
Examples:
C:\HORCM\etc>inqraid -CLI $Vol -fv
DEVICE_FILE PORT SERIAL LDEV CTG H/M/12 SSID R:Group PRODUCT_ID
