and its VTL name, to change the state of a tape to deleted, exported, recycled,
write-protected or import media using this CLI. Multiple barcodes can be
specified on the command that supports it. This is specified in the syntax with
“()” which means one or more. Alternatively, if the
--all
option is specified, then
all the media in the specified VTL is used for the operation.
To disable the write
