syscli --del media --barcode <barcode> --name <VTL_name>

[--disable]
syscli --import media (--barcode <barcode>) | --all --name <VTL_name>
This CLI command allows the admin user, given a specified media barcode(s)
and its VTL name, to change the state of a tape to deleted, exported, recycled,
write-protected or import media using this CLI. Multiple barcodes can be
specified on the command that supports it. This is specified in the syntax with
"()" which means one or more. Alternatively, if the --all option is specified, then
all the media in the specified VTL is used for the operation.
To disable the write-protect on a media, the --disable option must be specified
in the --writeprot media command.
syscli --deleteall media --name <VTL_name> [--sure]
This CLI command allows the admin user to delete all media in the specified VTL.
If the --sure option is specified, no confirmation prompt is displayed. Note that
*UNASSIGNED must be used for <VTL_name>.
syscli --online vtl (--name <VTL_name>) | --all
This CLI command allows the admin to turn a VTL online.
syscli --offline vtl (--name <VTL_name>) | --all
This CLI command allows the admin to turn a VTL offline. A VTL needs to be
offline before you can edit or delete a partition.
