23. A computerized method for dynamically sharing a magnetic media volume in a network, the method comprising:
-
directing, in response to a volume sharing request, a first media management component controlling a magnetic media volume to go into a deactivated state with respect to the magnetic media volume;
directing, according to a set of selection logic, a second media management component to go into an activated state with respect to the magnetic media volume; and
mounting the magnetic media volume to the second media management component.
