Creating Media

Listing the Media and
Attributes
VTL Configuration CLI Commands
capability = RW
syscli --add media --name <VTL_name> --type <media_type> --media
<number_of_media> --barcodestart <starting_barcode> --location slot |
ieslot [--capacity <media capacity>]
This CLI command allows the CLI admin to create a media for a defined VTL.
Creating a media is necessary after a VTL is created. The following are required
to create a media:
• VTL Name
• Media Type
• Number of media
• Starting barcode
• Initial location
The media type can be derived from the values returned from the type field
name of the list of media supported for a given tape drive model CLI. Initial
location can either be a slot or I/E slot.
The media capacity can optionally be specified. If media capacity is not
specified, it defaults to the media type native capacity.
syscli --list media { --name <vtlname> } | --all [--barcode <barcode>]
This CLI command allows the CLI admin to display a list of barcodes in the
system from the specified VTL name. When a barcode of the cartridge is
specified, this CLI returns the attributes of the single cartridge specified if it
exists. An example output (using the --all option) of two media from VTL MyVTL
is shown below.
Caution: The used value is not updated while the media is mounted.
Because of this, the displayed used value may be different from the
real value for mounted media.
List of media:
Total count = 2
[media = 1]
vtl = MyVTL
barcode = SDL101
