Mount Disks

Virtual Client has a dependency component that can be added to a workload or monitor profile to mount disks before execution. The following section illustrates the details for integrating this into the profile.

NOTE: It is going to mount the disk volumes which does not have any mount points and are already formatted. It is going to name using the mount point prefix like following example: mountpointprefix0,mountpointprefix1,etc.

Supported Platform/Architectures​
