APPENDIX A

VTL command line reference

VirtualTape Library (VTL) provides a simple utility that allows you to perform some of the more common VTL functions at a command line instead of through the VTL Console. You can use this command line utility to automate many tasks, as well as integrate VTL with your existing management tools.

Using the command line utility

Type iscon at the command line to display a list of commands. Each command must be combined with the appropriate long or short arguments (ex. Long: --server- name Short: -sservername) that are described in this chapter.

If you type the command name (for example, c:\iscon importtape), a list of arguments will be displayed for that command.

Commands

On the following pages is a list of commands you can use to perform VTL functions from the command line. You should be aware of the following as you enter commands:

■Type each command on a single line, separating arguments with a space.

■You can use either the short or long arguments.

■Variables are listed in <> after each argument.

■Arguments listed in brackets [ ] are optional.

■The order of the arguments is irrelevant.

■Arguments separated by are choices. Only one can be selected.
