Assign physical resource to VTL

iscon assignresourcetovtl -s <server-name> [-u <username> -p <password>] -I <ACSL> [-L <tape-library-vid>] [-X <rpc-timeout>]

iscon assignresourcetovtl --server-name=<server-name>

[--server-username=<username> --server-password=<password>] --scsiaddress=<ACSL> [--tape-library-vid=<tape-library-vid>] [--rpc-timeout=<rpc-timeout>]

Description:

This command assigns a physical tape library or drive to VTL.

‐I (‐‐scsiaddress) is required in order to identify the physical tape library or the physical tape drive to be assigned to VTL.

‐L (‐‐tape‐library‐vid) is an option to specify the physical tape library as a parent when assigning physical tape drive to physical tape library that is already assigned to VTL.

The physical tape library information can be retrieved by issuing the getvtlinfo command.

‐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.

Unassign physical resource from VTL

iscon unassignresourcefromvtl -s <server-name> [-u <username> -p <password>] -v <vdevid> [-q] [-X <rpc-timeout>]

iscon unassignresourcefromvtl --server-name=<server-name>

[--server-username=<username> --server-password=<password>] --vdevid=<vdevid> [--preserve-directlink] [--rpc-timeout=<rpc-timeout>]

Description:

This command unassigns a physical tape library or drive from VTL.

‐v (‐‐vdevid) is required to specify the ID of the physical tape library or the physical tape drive to be unassigned from VTL.

‐q (‐‐preserve‐directlink) in an option to preserve the direct linked tapes for physical tape libraries.

‐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.
