To eject volumes

1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Media and Device Management > Media.

2. In the Volumes pane, select one or more volumes that you want to eject.

3. On the Actions menu, select Eject Volumes From Robot.

   Depending on the robot type, one of the following dialog boxes appears:

   • Eject Volume (singular)

   • Eject Volumes (plural)

4. If the Eject Volume (singular) dialog box appears, click OK to eject the volumes.

   If you select multiple volumes, operator action is required to remove each volume after each eject (a dialog box prompts you to remove volumes).

5. If the Eject Volumes (plural) dialog box appears, continue by reading the following:

   • After NetBackup completes prechecks for the eject, the Media tab of the Eject Volumes dialog box shows the volumes that you selected to eject.

   • If no errors occur, the Errors tab is empty.

   • If an error occurs or a hardware limitation exists, the eject may not be possible; if so, the Errors tab is opened.

     The following classes of errors can occur:

     • For serious errors, the Eject button is not active. Correct the error to eject the media.

     • For other errors, the Errors tab shows an explanation of the error. Either continue the eject action (Eject) or exit (Close) depending on the type of error.

6. ACS and TLM robots only: In the Eject Volumes dialog box, select the media access port to use for the eject.

7. In the Eject Volumes dialog box, click Eject to eject the volumes.

   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.
