Determination of a mount target – HP XP Command View Advanced Edition Software User Manual
Page 182
If you specify an absolute path that begins with the drive letter as a mount point directory name
in the
-mount_pt
option, the mount point should be absolute-path-specified-as-a-mount-point-
directory-name
\
mount-point-in-the-copy-group-mount-definition-file
For example, when
W:\
is specified in the
-mount_pt
option and
FS=D:\
is specified in the
copy group mount definition file, the system mounts the unoccupied drives from the
W
drive. When
W:\mnt
is specified in the
-mount_pt
option and
FS=D:\mnt
is specified in the copy group
mount definition file, the mount point will be
W:\mnt\D\mnt
.
