Get physical tape list

iscon getphysicaltapelist -s <server-name> [-u <username> -p <password>] -l <physical-tape-library-vid> [-X <rpc-timeout>]

iscon getphysicaltapelist --server-name=<server-name>

[--server-username=<username> --server-password=<password>]

--plib-vid=<physical-tape-library-vid> [--rpc-timeout=<rpc-timeout>]

Description:

This command displays a list of physical tapes located in the specified physical tape library.

‐l (‐‐plib‐vid) is the ID of the physical tape library.

‐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 300 seconds.

Move physical tape

iscon movephysicaltape -s <server-name> [-u <username> -p <password>] -m <move-operation> -L <physical-tape-library-vid>

-B <physical-tape-barcode> -l <from-location-id> -t <to-location-id> [-X <rpc-timeout>]

iscon movephysicaltape --server-name=<server-name>

[--server-username=<username> --server-password=<password>]

--move-operation=<move-operation> --tape-library-vid=<physical-tape-library- vid>

--physical-tape-barcode=<barcode> --from-location-id=<from-location-id> --to-location-id=<to-location-id> [--rpc-timeout=<rpc-timeout>]

Description:

This command moves a physical tape to a new location.

‐m(‐‐move‐operation) is one of the following operations:
