	Chapter 24. Configuring Virtual Tapes

SYNOPSIS

vtape update vlib_id [export_needed] [read_only]
[enable_disk_compression] [enable_tape_smart_sizing]
[tape_smart_sizing_type]

ARGUMENTS

vlib_id	Name or barcode of the virtual tape to be updated.
export_needed	By setting this flag, you can force the export of the tape.
read_only	By setting this flag, you can make the tape read-only.
enable_disk_compression	Enables disk compression for tapes.
enable_tape_smart_sizing	Set if you want compression enabled.
tape_smart_sizing_type	If Tape Smart Sizing is enabled, specify which type of compression to use. The possible values are: LZS, lzs_c(LZS Conservative), ALDC, aldc_c(ALDC Conservative), ibm_lto, and none.

RESULT

If the vlib_id is valid, the vtape update command updates the virtual tape with the user-specified values. If the vlib_id is invalid, vtape update returns a non-zero exit status and relevant error message.

Note

A virtual tape that has been imported from physical tape does not need to be copied to a physical tape unless it has been modified.
