Mounting or unmounting a USB device using the CLI

Prev Next

Use the commands in this topic to manually mount or unmount a USB device to the attached appliance. Trellix recommends that you physically remove the USB device from the port. Use the media usb mount command before you attach the drive, and use the media usb eject command after you unplug it.

Note

The media usb eject command will have no effect if the USB device is not mounted.
