Important
If the entry/exit pool does not contain a magazine with sufficient empty slots, the
storage management software halts its eject operation. You must exchange the full
magazines in the entry/exit pool for empty ones, as described in
Exchange
Magazines or Cartridges in a Partition on page 243, before retrying the eject
operation.
