This command exports the information from a virtual tape to a physical tape.
‐v (‐‐vdevid) is required to specify the ID of the virtual tape to be exported to the
physical tape.
‐L (‐‐tape‐library‐vid) is also required to specify the ID of the target physical tape
library.
One of the three export methods below is required to select the physical tapes:
■
‐b (‐‐same‐barcode) is the option to select a physical tape with the same barcode
of the virtual tape if a physical tape with the same barcode exists.
■ ‐B (‐‐barcode) is the option to specify the barcode of an available physical tape in
the physical tape library.
■
‐l (‐‐slot‐no) is the option to specify the slot number of an available physical tape
in the physical tape library.
‐M (‐‐export‐mode) is an option with one of the following values: copy (default) or
move.
‐Y (‐‐delay‐delete‐days) is an option for move mode to specify the number of days to
wait before deletion. The maximum is 365 days. The default value is 365 days.
‐j (‐‐job‐description) is an option to specify a description for the tape export job.
‐f (‐‐force) is required when the tape is scheduled to be deleted.
‐J (‐‐auto‐eject‐to‐ie) is an option to eject the tape to the IE slot after the export job.
‐k (‐‐key‐name) and ‐W (‐‐key‐password) are options for tape encryption support.
Specify the key name and key password of the encryption key if you wish to encrypt
the data when exporting the virtual tape to the physical tape.
‐Z (‐‐tape‐duplication) is an option to enable tape duplication with the following
value: on.
‐Q (‐‐num‐of‐copies) is an option to specify the number of copies to be made using
the same barcode if the tape duplication option is enabled. The maximum value is 5.
The default value is 1.
‐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.
