EjectNtmsMedia Function

[Removable Storage Manager is no longer available as of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.]

The EjectNtmsMedia function ejects the specified medium from the port of the current library. If the library is busy, RSM queues EjectNtmsMedia and returns success.

Syntax

DWORD EjectNtmsMedia(
  __in     HANDLE hSession,
  __in     LPNTMS_GUID lpMediaId,
  __inout  LPNTMS_GUID lpEjectOperation,
  __in     DWORD dwAction
);

Parameters

  • hSession [in]
    Handle to the session returned by the OpenNtmsSession function.

  • lpMediaId [in]
    Unique identifier of a piece of physical media (PMID).

  • lpEjectOperation [in, out]
    GUID of the eject process library request. If dwAction is NTMS_EJECT_START, this parameter receives the GUID for the operation. If dwAction is NTMS_EJECT_STOP, this parameter must be set to the GUID for the operation to be stopped. This parameter is not used with NTMS_EJECT_QUEUE.

  • dwAction [in]
    Action to perform. This parameter can be one of the following values.

    Value Meaning
    NTMS_EJECT_START

    Start the eject operation with a port. The specified medium is ejected until the time-out event occurs or the function is called again with NTMS_EJECT_STOP. The time-out value is specified in the library object and is applied to all ejections in the library.

    NTMS_EJECT_STOP

    Terminate the ejection process specified by lpEjectOperation before the time-out event lapses.

    NTMS_EJECT_QUEUE

    Queue the specified media for ejection. Used to group media for multi-slot NTMS_IEPORT objects.

     

Return Value

This function returns one of the following values.

Value Meaning
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED

NTMS_CONTROL_ACCESS to the library is denied. Other security errors are also possible, but they would indicate a security subsystem error.

ERROR_BUSY

More media was queued than slots available in the NTMS_IEPORT object.

ERROR_DATABASE_FAILURE

The database is inaccessible or damaged.

ERROR_DATABASE_FULL

The database is full.

ERROR_DEVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE

The library is disabled.

ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE

The session ID is missing or is not valid.

ERROR_INVALID_OPERATION

A stop was performed on an operation ID that was not valid.

ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER

A library ID or operation ID pointer is missing.

ERROR_LIBRARY_OFFLINE

The library ID refers to an offline library that cannot eject media.

ERROR_MEDIA_NOT_AVAILABLE

The media is disabled.

ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY

There was an allocation failure during processing.

ERROR_SUCCESS

The eject is queued.

 

Remarks

The EjectNtmsMedia function returns to the application as soon as the eject request is queued.

Media ejected using the EjectNtmsMedia function is moved to the offline library or deleted from the database. Cleaner cartridges, import media, unrecognized media, and incompatible media are deleted when ejected.

The NTMS_EJECT_QUEUE flag is used to bundle or batch media marked for ejection into a multi-slot library. You can queue media for ejection using the queue action when the application has queued all the necessary media. The application uses the start command to begin the physical eject operation. If more media is queued than slots in the NTMS_IEPORT object, EjectNtmsMedia returns ERROR_BUSY. To begin the physical eject operation, the application can use NTMS_EJECT_START with the last media ID or NULL.

If the media is currently in use (mounted or opened), this function returns an error.

If the library does not have a port, use the AccessNtmsLibraryDoor function to insert and eject media.

The EjectNtmsMedia function does not work with the offline library.
