About leaving standalone drives in the ready state

To leave standalone drives in a ready condition after a backup or restore completes, use the nbemmcmd command to enable the -do_not_eject_standalone option. NetBackup does not eject the tape after an operation completes. The media is still ejected if EOM is reached or an error is encountered. Also, the media is ejected if the drive needs to be used with another media or the media needs to be used with another drive.

One standalone drive may be ready and contain suitable media.

Detailed information on the nbemmcmd command is available.
