‐k (‐‐key‐name) and ‐W (‐‐key‐password) are options for tape encryption support. If
the tape to be synchronized was encrypted through the system, you need to specify
the key name and the key password of the encryption key to decrypt the data on the
imported tape.

[‐I <‐‐scsiaddress>] is the option to specify which physical devices to be used to
create the virtual device. It can be a list of ACSLs separated with commas.
ACSL=#:#:#:# (adapter:channel:id:lun)

‐n (‐‐vdevname) is an option to specify the virtual tape name or prefix when creating
more than one tape. The maximum length of the virtual device name is 64. Leading
and trailing spaces will be removed. Please enclose the name in double quotes to
ensure the proper name. The following characters are invalid for the name: <>ʺ&$/\ʹ

‐g (‐‐size‐gb) is an option to specify the initial size, in GB, of the virtual tapes, if the
capacity‐on‐demand property for the virtual tape library is enabled. The default is 1
GB

‐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.

iscon migratevirtualtapes --server-name=
[--server-username= --server-password=]
--tape-vid-list= [--tape-full] [--rpc-timeout=]

Description:

This command migrates the specified virtual tapes to the physical libraries they are
synchronized with.

‐T (‐‐tape‐vid‐list) is a list of virtual tape ID(s) separated with commas.

‐F (‐‐tape‐full) is an option to force full tape migration. By default, the migration
operation is incremental.
