Methods Available for Injecting and Ejecting Volumes
114 NetBackup Media Manager System Administrator’s Guide for Windows
◆
Media Manager supports eject for the robot type involved (see “Inject and Eject
Functions Available by Robot Type” on page 115).
Eject volume from robot via the media access port may be enabled for some robots that
do not have media access ports, since the robot type for the robotic library only indicates
that media access ports are possible.
For the robot types shown in the 4th column of the matrix, selecting multiple volumes to
eject requires operator intervention. The selected volumes will be ejected one volume at a
time. Operator intervention is required to remove the ejected volume and answer the
prompts.
For the robot types shown in the 3rd column of the matrix, operator intervention is only
required if the robotic library does not have a media access port large enough to eject all of
the selected volumes. For these robot types, the operator is prompted to remove the media
from the media access port so the eject can continue with the remaining volumes. See
“Media Ejection Timeout Periods” on page 116.
See “Moving Volumes” on page 128 for complete instructions.
Using the Eject Volumes From Robot Command
Select Actions > Eject Volume(s) From Robot to eject one or more selected volumes from
a robotic library.
Eject Volume(s) From Robot is only available for the robot types shown in the matrix in
“Inject and Eject Functions Available by Robot Type” on page 115.
You can eject volumes that reside in multiple robots. In this case, multiple eject dialogs
will appear for each robot type.
For the robot types shown in the 4th column of the matrix, selecting multiple volumes to
eject requires operator action. The selected volumes will be ejected one volume at a time.
Operator intervention is required to remove the ejected volume and answer the prompts.
For the robot types shown in the 3rd column of the matrix, operator intervention is only
required if the robotic library does not have a media access port large enough to eject all of
the selected volumes. For these robot types, you are prompted to remove the media from
the media access port so the eject can continue with the remaining volumes. See “Media
Ejection Timeout Periods” on page 116.
