    .SYNOPSIS
    Mounts a Db2 Image

    .EXAMPLE
    New-AGMLibDb2Mount
    You will be prompted through a guided menu

    .EXAMPLE
     New-AGMLibDb2Mount -appid 97825 -mountapplianceid 141751487742 -targethostid 759773 -dbnamelist "SAMPLE,SAMPLE1" -targetinstance "db2inst2"
    Mounts a new instance with one DB, renaming the DB from SAMPLE to SAMPLE1, using the latest image for that appid

    .EXAMPLE
    New-AGMLibDb2Mount -appid 97825 -mountapplianceid 141751487742 -label "label" -targethostid 92881 -dbnamelist "SAMPLE,SAMPLE1;DB2DB,DB2DB1" -targetinstance "db2inst2" -overwritedatabase "yes" -consistencygroupname "cg1" -recoverypoint "2022-05-12 00:01:48" -sltid 760948 -slpid 6297
    Mounts a new instance with two DBs. The instance is reprotected with the specified SLT and SLP.

    .DESCRIPTION
    A function to mount Db2 Image

    * Image selection can be done three ways:

    1) Run this command in guided mode to learn the available images and select one
    2) Learn the imagename and specify that as part of the command with -imagename
    3) Learn the Appid and Cluster ID for the appliance that will mount the image and then use -appid and -mountapplianceid
    This will use the latest snapshot, StreamSnap or OnVault image on that appliance

    Note default values don't need to specified. So for instance these are both unnecessary: -recoverdb true

    * label
    -label Label for mount, recommended

    * mount host options:
    -targethostname The target host specified by name. Ideally use the next option
    -targethostid The target host specified by id

    * mounted app names
    -dbnamelist semicolon separated list of comma separated source db and target db. So if we have two source DBs, prod1 and prod2 and we mount them as dev1 and dev2 then: prod1,dev1;prod2,dev2
    -consistencygroupname If mounting more than one DB then you will need to specify a CG name. This is used on the Appliance side to group the new apps, the mounted host wont see this name

    * mounted instance
    -targetinstance XXXX The target DB2 instance. Select a target DB2 instance to manage the new database. Mounting back to the same host and same instance is not supported
    -targetnodenumber YYYY DB2 target node number to be used for app aware mount. It will use 0 by default if no value is specified (optional)
    -overwritedatabase no, stale or yes Specifies when, if ever, to overwrite a database on the target server that has the same name as the new database(s) being mounted. Default is no

    * Other options

    -mountpointperimage
    -recoverypoint The point in time to roll forward to, in ISO8601 format like 2020-09-02 19:00:02
 
    * Reprotection:

    -sltid xxxx (short for Service Level Template ID) - if specified along with an slpid, will reprotect the mounted child app with the specified template and profile
    -slpid yyyy (short for Service Level Profile ID) - if specified along with an sltid, will reprotect the mounted child app with the specified template and profile

    * VMware specific options
    -mountmode use either nfs, vrdm or prdm
    -mapdiskstoallesxhosts Either true to do this or false to not do this. Default is false.

    * Monitoring options:

    -wait This will wait up to 2 minutes for the job to start, checking every 15 seconds to show you the job name
    -monitor Same as -wait but will also run Get-AGMLibFollowJobStatus to monitor the job to completion
