Login to ACSLS server as "acsss".
If you dont know password for "acsss" login as root
and:

# su - acsss
$ cat <<EOF | cmd_proc
eject * MEDIAID
EOF

I believe Netbackup's vault extension provides an interface to
eject from ACS controlled robots using the ACS API and netbackup
vm commands. A reason to buy vault I guess.

ACSLS 5.3.2 was EOSupport May 1 2001.

ACSLS 6.0 was released April 27 2001 and 6.1 is now the latest.

And what would you do when you rsh?  A pointer to some real information on
the
ACSLS system would help.  I have not been able to find any useful
information,
and have not been able to make the "eject" command in the acsss bin actually
DO
anything.

Or, where can I find API information.  I'm not opposed to writing a util
either.

Doesn't work with the acs at all:

# vmchange -res -m BBB482 -mt hcart -rt none -e -sec 1 
Could not change media ID BBB482: cannot auto-eject this robot type (51)
