Volume Dismount Request

When a successful mount operation completes, the external process must wait for a request to dismount the volume. When the dismount operation completes, the external program must send a response to the ADSM server.

After the dismount response is sent, the external process ends immediately by using the stdlib exit routine.

Format of the ADSM request:

DISMOUNT libraryname volname

where:

libraryname

Specifies the name of the EXTERNAL library as defined to ADSM.

volname

Specifies the name of the volume to be dismounted.

Format of the external program response:

DISMOUNT libraryname volname COMPLETE, RESULT=resultcode

where:

libraryname

Specifies the name of the EXTERNAL library as defined to ADSM.

volname

Specifies the name of the volume dismounted.

resultcode

One of the following:

• SUCCESS
• DRIVE_ERROR
• LIBRARY_ERROR
• INTERNAL_ERROR
