Here is the syntax of the VTSPolicy command for use with EMC Legato Networker. Note that
all parameters specified for the command are case-sensitive.
VTSPolicy LEG '/VAULTxx/pool/cartridge... [keyword=value ...]'

cartridges per command.
keyword=value
Specifies a valid combination of keywords and their values. Supported keywords
include the following:
source or s
Specifies the fully-qualified hostname of the VTS system on which the
specified pool resides. In a VTS cluster, this keyword specifies the VTS server
that will execute the command. This keyword is required in a VTS cluster.
erase Enables VTS to erase the virtual tape after migration is completed
successfully. Set this keyword to YES or NO. This keyword is not required

For example, to migrate the LG0003 virtual tape in a pool named LegatoPool on the VTS1
server and erase the selected files from VTS, issue the following command:
