VirtualTape Library User Guide
VirtualTape Library (VTL) provides a simple utility that allows you to perform some
of the more common VTL functions at a command line instead of through the VTL
Console. You can use this command line utility to automate many tasks, as well as
integrate VTL with your existing management tools.
Using the command line utility
Type iscon at the command line to display a list of commands. Each command must
be combined with the appropriate long or short arguments (ex. Long: --server-
name Short: -s servername ) that are described in this chapter.
If you type the command name (for example, c:\iscon importtape ), a list of
arguments will be displayed for that command.
Commands
On the following pages is a list of commands you can use to perform VTL functions
from the command line. You should be aware of the following as you enter
commands:
■
Type each command on a single line, separating arguments with a space.
■
You can use either the short or long arguments.
■ Variables are listed in <> after each argument.
■
Arguments listed in brackets [ ] are optional.
■ The order of the arguments is irrelevant.
■
Arguments separated by | are choices. Only one can be selected.
