David is correct, a load simply loads the tape volume (in your case by hand), and a mount lets NetWorker read the tape label, hence letting it know that the tape volume is in the drive. You can mount the tape volume (after you manually load it) by using the command:
nsrmm -m [-f device] [volume]
where [-f device is to be replaced with the actual device name (i.e. -f \\.\Tape0), and [volume] is to be replaced with the volume name.
If you have a jukebox or autochanger, then you can use the
nsrjb -lv -f [device] -S [slot]
command to load and mount the tape volume in one shot (in the nsrjb command it's a lower case L). If you'd like to load but not mount the volume you'd use
Charles Luu I ask if NW mount or not automatically the tape, and I get the answer (see above) , not the statement of of nsrmm and nsrjb ¿ this are in the command reference. I thing you are out of this subject
So, I understand, is not a bug, this is the way is work
Correct. With standalone drives you will need to manually mount the tape loaded - NW won't do it by itself. With libraries we have different picture of course.
You may wish to add right to operator who loads a tape to execute scripted command for mount (as Charles suggested, you will need to use nsrmm to do that).
Razvan, perhaps you've missed this beginning part of my answer:
"David is correct, a load simply loads the tape volume (in your case by hand), and a mount lets NetWorker read the tape label, hence letting it know that the tape volume is in the drive."
To put it simply, no NetWorker will not automatically mount the tape volume into the drive unless you are using a jukebox.
