The EJECT line operator schedules the mountable optical disk to be moved to the input/output station of the optical library. When you submit the line operator successfully, EJECT SUBMITTED is displayed on the Mountable Optical Volume List. After the eject completes, OAM issues a completion message.

When an optical disk is ejected, the operator might be prompted on the system console to supply a shelf location and a pseudo library to assign the ejected volume to. Ejected optical disks are stored according to the optical shelf conventions established at your computer site. The information on the shelf location and the pseudo library is stored in the OCDB for later use when the optical disk needs to be obtained from the shelf and a drive selected for its use. When the optical disk is obtained from the shelf, it is mounted within an operator-accessible drive, or within a library if no outstanding mount exists for the cartridge.

After receiving the EJECT completion message, you can use the REFRESH command to update and view the shelf location and pseudo library information for an optical volume in the SHELF LOCATION column.

See Ejecting an optical disk for more information on the EJECT command, including command syntax.
