Sun Microsystems Virtual Tape Library manual Import/Export, Import tape

Import/Export

‐F (‐‐vtl‐info‐filter) is an additional filter that can be combined using the following values separated with commas: library or drive or tape.

■library = include physical and/or virtual library information.

■drive = include physical and/or virtual drive information.

■tape = include physical and/or virtual tape information.

For example: ‐F ʺlibrary,drive,tapeʺ or ‐‐vtl‐info‐filter=ʺlibrary,drive,tapeʺ

The default is to display all of the information that applies. There will be an error if <vtl‐info‐type> is specified and the <vtl‐info‐filter> specified does not apply. For example, ʺlibraryʺ does not apply to ʺVDRIVESʺ.

‐l (‐‐longlist) is an option to display the information in a detail format.

‐M (‐‐output‐delimiter) can be specified when ‐l is specified to replace the linefeed with the specified delimiter. The maximum length of the delimiter is 8.

‐X (‐‐rpc‐timeout) is an option to specify a number between 1 and 30000 in seconds for the RPC timeout. The system will retry the command for the amount of time specified if the server does not respond. The default RPC timeout is 30 seconds.
