syscli --list drive
This CLI command allows the CLI admin to display a list of the available virtual
tape drive models. A specific virtual tape drive model is required when adding or
creating a new partition.
An example output of two tape drive is shown below:

Adding a VTL
syscli --add vtl --name <vtlname> --model <modelname> --slots
<number_of_slots> --drivemodel <tape_drive_model> --drives
<number_of_drives> [--dedup]
This CLI command allows the CLI admin to add a partition. The following
partition settings are required:
•
--name <vtlname>:
The virtual library name, vtlname, must be
alphanumeric, and it must begin with a letter.
•
--model <modelname>:
The library model name, modelname, is the VTL
model to create. A list of supported library models can be retrieved using
the
--list library
command.
•
--slots <number_of_slots>:
One I/E slot will be created for each storage
slot, until maximum of 240 I/E slots exist.
• --drivemodel <tape_drive_model>:
The drive model to create for this VTL.
A list of supported drives can be retrieved using the
--list drive
command.
•
--drives <number_of_drives>:
The number of virtual tape drives attached
to the VTL.
•
--dedup:
Enables deduplication. By default, VTL will be created with
deduplication disabled.
Optionally, the user can specify whether to enable data deduplication and
enable backup window. Once the partition is created, the data deduplication
state cannot be changed. The backup window start and end time can be
specified if the data deduplication is specified (enable).
