Ejecting volumes

You can eject single or multiple volumes.

You cannot eject multiple volumes with one operation if they reside in multiple robots.

Operator intervention is only required if the robotic library does not contain a media access port large enough to eject all of the selected volumes. For these robot types, NetBackup prompts an operator to remove the media from the media access port so the eject operation can continue.

To eject volumes

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, in the left pane, expand Media and Device Management > Media.
  2. In the right pane, in the Volumes list, select one or more volumes that you want to eject.
  3. On the Actions menu, select Eject Volumes From Robot.
  4. In the Eject Volumes dialog box, do one of the following actions:

    ACS and TLM robots only

    Select the media access port to use for the ejection, then click Eject.

    All other robots

    Click Eject.

    The robotic library may not contain a media access port large enough to eject all of the selected volumes. For most robot types, you are prompted to remove the media from the media access port so the eject can continue with the remaining volumes.

    See NetBackup robot types.
