Mounting or unmounting a volume in a stand-alone tape drive

1. Manually insert a volume in the stand-alone drive, or ensure that a volume is already loaded.

2. In the Administration window, click Devices.
3. Select Devices in the navigation tree. The Devices detail table appears.
4. Select the device. To mount the volume, in the Devices detail table, right-click the device, and select Mount.
5. To unmount the volume, in the Devices > detail table, right-click the device, and select Unmount.

   • The Library Operation window displays this message:

     The library operation has started.
