type of the volumes must match that of the eject_area. Set type
to the media type of the volser_range. See Table 4-15.
Parameters for the aci_eject Function Call
Using SHARED_ACCESS as a key word for the client shows
all drives which are allocated in the SHARED_ACCESS mode.

which are allocated in the EXUP mode.
Logical area defined in AML, where the cartridges should be
ejected
• a single volser
• multiple volsers separated by commas
• a range of volsers separated by a hyphen
media type of the named volser
Refer to Media Types on page 2-7
The database entry for the volume is not deleted, and the
position in the AML that the volume occupied remains
reserved for insertion of a volume with a matching volser.
This could be useful if the volume is temporarily ejected and
will be inserted in the near future. In such case, the position
remains reserved and the volume's location within the AML
does not change.
The eject will stop, when the eject area is full. The request will
either be cancelled or completed after the area is marked
empty depending on the DAS_EJECTAREAFULL
environment variable.
For additional information, refer to aci_eject2 on page 4-42,
and aci_eject_ complete on page 4-49.
