Removing Copy Exported Volumes from the Library
Depending on the option specified in the Export List File volume, the TS7700 either has placed the copy
exported physical volumes in the convenience I/O station or in the export-hold category.
If the physical volumes were placed in the I/O station during the export operation, care should be taken to
make sure that only the volumes exported are moved to the offsite location or that physical volumes from
more than one export operation are not mixed.
If the EJECT option was not specified, the copy exported physical volumes are retained in the physical
library until an operator requests that they be ejected. To eject the volumes from the library follow the steps
in Appendix A, Manage Export Hold Volumes for systems running 8.30.x.x or higher code, Appendix C\B
Manage Export Hold Volumes for systems from 8.5.x.x to 8.21.x.x and Appendix C Manage Export Hold
Volumes for pre 8.5.x.x systems
If the copy exported volumes that are retained in the physical library need to be returned to the library
inventory then follow the steps in Appendix A Move Export Hold Volumes for systems running 8.30.x.x or
higher.
