Checking Out a Library Volume

To remove a volume from an automated library, complete the following fields and then click Finish, or click Cancel to end this task.

Check Label

Select an option. This parameter is optional.

Yes Specifies that during checkout an attempt is made to read the media label. Reading the media label verifies that the correct volume is being checked out. Yes is the default.
No Specifies that during checkout the media label is not read. This increases performance since the read process does not occur.

Force

Select an option. This parameter is optional.

Yes Specifies that ADSM checks out the volume even when an I/O error reading the label occurs.
No Specifies that ADSM does not check out a volume when there is an I/O error reading the label. The default is No.

Remove

Select an option. This parameter is optional.

Yes Specifies that a volume is ejected during command processing. The volume entry is deleted from the ADSM library inventory. Yes is the default.
No Specifies that a volume is not ejected during command processing.
Bulk Specifies that for SCSI libraries with multiple entry/exit ports, the volume is ejected to the next available entry/exit port.
