You can add a mount path to an existing disk library.
Note
-
In Feature Release 28 and earlier versions, you were allowed to configure more than one mount path on a path that is already used by another mount path in a library. However, this caused problems with storage space reporting, alerting and billing. From Feature Release 30, you cannot add a mount path on a path that is already used by another mount path in the library.
-
From Commvault 11 V19, the Commvault creates mount path using the following format: randomstring_date_time where rarndomstring is a random string, date is the date in mm.dd.yyyy and time is the time in hh.mm.
-
From Feature Release 30, the randomstring_date_time folder that is created under the file path of a mount path does not appear in CommCell Console.
Procedure
-
From the CommCell Browser, expand to Storage Resources | Libraries.
-
Select and right-click the appropriate library, and then click Add Mount Path.
-
In the Add Mount Path dialog box, select either Local Path or Network Path.
-
If you select Local Path, enter the file path of a mount path.
-
If you select Network Path, then from the Credential list, select an appropriate credential to access the mount path. To create a new credential, click the Create New button. For instructions about creating a credential, see Adding a Credential to Credential Manager.
In the Folder box, enter the mount path location.
-
-
Click OK.
Note
If a library with multiple mount paths is associated with a Network Storage Pool, then adding a mount path will automatically share the associated MediaAgent with all the other existing mount paths by using the DataServer-IP.
For example, on a library lib1 there are 2 mount paths mp1 and mp2. On mp1, if you shared MediaAgent MA1, then MA1 will automatically get shared with mp2 using the Data Server IP transport type.
