Normal Operation
In this operational scenario, the AO varies the archive to the
off-line or maintenance state, opens the archive door, and
removes the media. Then VolServ software is notified that the
media were physically removed by the operator.
Unlike the export media command, media information is
retained in the VolServ database after the Manual Eject
command is executed. These media remain classified as known
media.
The manual eject command is available over the GUI only. The
manual eject parameters are manual eject media identifier and
priority. The priority determines the command location in
VolServ command queue.
The move media command is recommended for reentering
media that were manually ejected. The unsolicited enter of a
known media and bulk load methods can also be used.
Intransit Media
(Manual Eject)
After media are identified using the manual eject command, the
subject media are placed in the intransit state. This state
indicates that media are known by VolServ software but are not
actually physically in an archive.
Clear Eject List
Entries
When media are placed on the eject list, one or more media on
the list can be removed by the SA or SO using the clear eject
command. Clear eject parameters are the clear eject media
identifier and priority. The priority determines the command
location in VolServ command queue.
