Ejecting media

If you configure a profile to defer ejection, you must perform or schedule another action to eject media.

You can use one of the following actions to eject media that was not ejected by a profile that selected or duplicated images:

Manually by using the Vault Management node in the NetBackup Administration Console
Manually by using the Vault Operator Menu
Manually by using the vlteject command
Automatically by creating and scheduling a Vault policy and entering the appropriate vlteject command and options in the file list

Note:

You must use one of the Vault methods to eject media. If you use a NetBackup or Media Manager option to eject media, the correct database entries are not made and the Vault reports are not accurate.
