Description:
This command moves a virtual tape to a different location.
‐v (‐‐vdevid) is required to specify the ID of the virtual tape to be moved.
‐L (‐‐tape‐library‐vid) is the virtual library to move to. It is not required if the virtual
tape is moved within the library.
‐D (‐‐tape‐drive‐vid) is the virtual drive in a library or the standalone drive to move
to.
‐l (‐‐slot‐no) is the slot in a library to move to.
If none of the above locations are specified, the vault will be assumed to be the new
location.
If the tape is in a slot in a library, it can be moved to a different slot or a drive in the
library, or it can be moved to the vault.
