Command Object Requirements

• SET

– This object defines the service set containing the virtual tape library into which the

cartridge will be added. X is the numeric index of the service set.

• LIB

– This required object is the virtual tape library into which the drive will be added. X is

the numeric index of the library.

• CART

– This object is not used within the command sequence. It represents the virtual cartridge

created by the command. X is a numeric index.

Command Parameter Requirements

• ALL – This global default is optional. If used, a cartridge is created in every empty slot within

the virtual tape library. Either this global default, the slot parameter, or the mail parameter

must exist in the command sequence.

• slot – This parameter defines the slot into which the cartridge will be added after creation.

The value for this parameter consists of an integer corresponding to an empty slot location in

the virtual tape library defined by this command. The slot value assigned to parameter must

exist within the library to which the cartridge is being added. Either this global default, the

slot parameter, or the mail parameter must exist in the command sequence.

• mail – This parameter defines the mail slot into which the cartridge will be added after creation.

The value is an integer corresponding to an empty mail slot location in the virtual tape library

defined by this command. Either this global default, the slot parameter, or the mail parameter

must exist in the command sequence.

• WriteProtect – This optional parameter defines if data can only be read from cartridge. The

value is either yes or no. If not included, a default value of no is used.

◦ Yes – data cannot be written to the cartridge

◦ No – data can be written to the cartridge.

• barcode – This optional parameter consists of a string of characters defining the barcode on

the cartridges created by this command. The string of characters must conform to the barcode

parameters defined for the library into which the cartridge is being added and must not match

any existing barcode in the library. If not included, a unique barcode string is created

automatically according to the virtual library barcode template. The parameter cannot be

used when the global default ALL is used to create cartridges in the empty slots.

• CartSize – This optional parameter defines the size in GB of the cartridges to be created in

the virtual library by this command. The values are defined in the Command Syntax. If not

included, the default value is that defined by the library “emulation” parameter value.
