Ejecting

For successful ejecting of a tape from a tape library, the tape library must have the mail slot and the slot must not be locked by a user or by other software.

To eject tapes

1. Click Settings > Tape management.
2. Select the machine or the storage node to which your tape device is attached, and then click Tape pools under this machine.
3. Click the pool that contains the necessary tapes, and then select the required tapes.
4. Click Eject. The software will prompt you to provide the tape description. We recommend that you describe the physical location where the tapes will be kept. During recovery, the software will display this description so you could easily find the tapes.
5. Click Eject to start the operation.

After a tape is ejected either manually or automatically, it is recommended to write its name on the tape.
