set_state
will change the state of a removable media device eq to state.
If
-w

the command will wait for the operation to complete before
terminating. Note:
set_state
cannot be used to change a file system partition's allocation state.
The valid states are:
onThe device is usable by StorageTek QFS or Oracle HSM file systems.
A device moving to the on
state will be unloaded if there is media mounted.
idleThe device will not be selected for use by either StorageTek QFS or Oracle HSM
file systems. Any existing activity
will be allowed to complete. Once there is no more activity, the device will
be placed in the off state.
unavailThe device is unavailable for use by StorageTek QFS and Oracle HSM file systems
and most StorageTek QFS and Oracle HSM commands.
The only valid commands for a device in this state are
load (1m),
unload (1m),
and
set_state (1m).
A device moving to the unavail state will be unloaded
if there is media mounted.
offThe device is unusable by StorageTek QFS and Oracle HSM file systems.
A device moving to the off
state from on, idle or unavail will
be unloaded if there is media mounted. The only state a down
device may be moved to is off.
