	Ejecting a Medium from a Device

	on page 138 for details.

	Scheduled Eject of Media
	Data Protector allows you to schedule the ejection of specific media
	through the reporting mechanism. The scheduled ejection of media is
	linked to a specific report made using the external send method. This
	method enables you to send the report to a user-definable external script,
	which can then parse the report and execute the ejection of media (using
	omnimm -eject command).
Prerequisite	A program or script must be created on the Cell Manager to perform the
	ejection, and any applicable interpreters must also be installed on the
	Cell Manager. A Perl script is used in this example.
Overview	You can set up and schedule a report group so that it creates a report and
	sends it as an input to a script. Such a report group should be set up so
	that it lists the media you want to eject (for example, the List of Media
	Report) by specifying the report parameters, so that the report contains
	only the media you want to eject. When the Report Group is started (as
	the result of a schedule or as triggered by a notification, for example the
	End of Session notification), Data Protector starts the script with the
	report result as an input for the script. The script then parses the report
	and performs the ejection of the specified media by using the Data
	Protector omnimm CLI command.
Notification on	By default, the Event Log Viewer will notify you if you need to remove
Mail Slots Full	media from mail slots in order to continue the eject operation. This
	situation will arise when there are more media to be ejected than there
	are empty mail slots in a library. Refer to Chapter 7, “Monitoring,
	Reporting, Notifications, and the Event Log,” on page 307 for more
	information on Data Protector notifications.
