Media ejection timeout periods
The media ejection period (the amount of time before an error condition occurs) varies depending on the capability of each robot.
The following table shows the ejection timeout periods for robots.
Table: Media ejection timeout periods
Robot types | Timeout period |
|---|---|
|
Automated Cartridge System (ACS) Tape Library Multimedia (TLM) | One week |
Tape Library 8MM (TL8) Tape Library DLT (TLD) | 30 minutes. |
|
Tape Library Half-inch (TLH) | None. The robot allows an unlimited amount of time to remove media. |
Note:
If the media is not removed and a timeout condition occurs, the media is returned to (injected into) the robot. Inventory the robot and eject the media that was returned to the robot.
Some robots do not contain media access ports. For these robots, the operator must remove the volumes from the robot manually.
Note:
After you add or remove media manually, use NetBackup to inventory the robot.
