Libraries

Listing Libraries

When listing libraries you can either query one of the adapters by name, or use a wildcard to match the closest adapter.

Syntax

/tapetrack name library list

Example

/tapetrack * library list

In the returned list of accessible libraries you will get a library UUID along with the library description. The library UUID will be used to access that library and the tapes within it going forward.

Library Information

Syntax

/tapetrack name library info library_uuid

Example

/tapetrack name library info 41553031-0000-0000-4c54-4f004f464653
