container --add --name <name> [--type <VTL>] [--tape_size <tape_size>][--no_of_drives <1–60>][--is_oem <yes|no>][--group_name <name>]

Note: When creating a VTL container type, you must specify the option, --type VTL. Possible values for tape size include:

800GB|400GB|200GB|100GB|50GB|10GB

Note: The number of drives parameter is applicable to FC containers only.

container --update --name <name> [--no_of_drives <1–60>]

container --delete --name <name>

Other Examples

Deletes an existing container type and the data files within the specified container by combining the --delete and the --delete_files DR Series system CLI commands:

container --delete --name acme_17 --delete_files

WARNING: All the data in the container acme_17 will be deleted!

Please enter the administrator password:
Container "acme_17" marked for deletion. Please run "maintenance --filesystem --reclaim_space" torecover the storage space.

Note: Be aware that it may take a fair amount of time for the DR Series system file and container deletion processes to complete and update the system status. For details on deleting the files within an OST container, see container --delete_files --name <name>.
