Basic export parameters are the export media identifier, export
comment, and priority. The export comment is optional and
appears on the Eject list. This comment can be used to convey
additional information, such as the source of the command. No
format requirements exist, other than length. The priority is
used to determine the command location in VolServ command
queue.
Check-out Media
from an Archive
The check-out media command is used to temporarily remove
media from an archive. These media are placed on the eject list.
unlike the export media command, media information is
retained in the VolServ database after the AO ejects the media.
These media remain classified as known media.

Manual Eject Media
from an Archive
The manual eject command is generally used when media in an
automated archive cannot be retrieved by the robot. However,
the manual eject command can be used for any reason. A
medium cannot be retrieved when:
• A medium label cannot be read by a robot barcode reader.
• A medium has fallen on the archive floor.
• A medium becomes jammed in a tape drive.
• A medium is unavailable for any reason, such as the
nonoperational robot or archive equipment.
