follows:
• --name — Specifies the name of a valid VTL container.
• --id — Sets the IO mode of a specific drive to RW.
Syntax
vtl --set_rw --name test-vtl
Result
I/O mode set to readwrite for all drives in container test-vtl
vtl --update_carts --name <name> --add --no_of_tapes <number>
Description
This command allows you to create additional tapes for a library specified in the --name option. Each library is initially
created with 10 slots housing 10 tape media. Additional tapes can be added to the library as needed using this
command. A library can only contain tapes of the same size. For example, if the library was originally created with 10
tapes of size 10G, additional tapes of size 10G can only be added.
Syntax
vtl --update_carts --name test-vtl --add --no_of_tapes 10
Result
Created 10 cartridges.
