This topic introduces you to some of the optical support functions
and familiarizes you with using optical cartridges and volumes.
Through these examples you can learn how to:
- Work with optical volumes
- Add optical cartridges to an optical media library
- Initialize optical volumes
- Remove optical cartridges from an optical media library
Note: The device, volume, and directory names that are used in these examples
are for illustrative purposes only. Your applications may require different
volume names or different directory names. Additionally, your optical devices
might have different names.
Only some of the available optical commands are discussed here. Do not
use these topics as the primary reference for these commands because they
do not describe all of the functions that are available. These topics provide
a tutorial on getting started by using the optical utilities.
The following examples assume that you have a new optical disk cartridge
available to use and your optical media library is empty.
Example: Remove an optical disk cartridge
