Remove Blank
Media
The fsmedout command allows the removal of blank media.
Two ways exist to remove blank media from the FileServ
domain:
Checkout blank media.
Remove blank media.
Check Out Blank Media
Checking out blank media is NOT a common practice.
Checking out blank media temporarily removes the media, but
leaves the media information intact. In an extreme case, blank
media can be removed from the system to free up media slots
for other media.
The
fsmedout -r command can temporarily remove blank
media, retain information about the media in the FileServ
database, and logically remove the media from the FileServ
domain.
The status of Checked-out media is changed to OUTOFFS.
Media can be physically removed from the storage subsystem
by the VolServ operator. The VolServ operator is prompted and
performs an Eject function to physically remove the media.
Note
For more information on the fsmedout command, refer to
the Command Reference book.
