This topic introduces the QoreStor CLI commands that allow you to manage the virtual tape library (VTL) containers you have created for your system, which include:
This command allows you to see the status of a specified virtual tape library (VTL). It displays detailed information about VTL, such as media type, vendor, model, generic device information, serial number, library size, and tape status information. The first example below shows the result information for Container vtl1 of type VTL with an NDMP connection. The second example shows Container iscsi-vtl1 of type VTL with an iSCSI connection.
vtl --show [--verbose] [--name <name>]
Where
--verbose Display more details.
--name Name of a valid VTL container

This command allows you to create additional tapes for a library specified in the --name option. Each library is initially created with 10 slots housing 60 tape media. Additional tapes can be added to the library as needed using this command. A library can only contain tapes of the same size. For example, if the library was originally created with 60 tapes of size 10G, additional tapes of size 10G can only be added.
vtl --update_carts --name <name> --add --no_of_tapes <number>
Where
--name Name of a valid VTL container
--add Add more cartridges to the tape
--no_of_tapes Number of Tapes to be created
Created 10 cartridges.
This command activates a replica VTL.
vtl --activate --name <name> [--force <yes|no>]
Where
--name Name of a valid VTL container
--force Force activation
Enter reserialization code for replica [ 00 (no op), 01 - 99 ]: 00 VTL processes will be started for container, VTL1_Test ...
