Normal Operations

4-33

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. 

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.
