VTL Configuration CLI Commands
Deleting All Media
syscli --deleteall media --name <VTL_name> [--sure]
This CLI command allows the admin user to delete all media in the specified VTL.
If the --sure option is specified, no confirmation prompt is displayed. Note that
*UNASSIGNED
must be used for <VTL_name>.
Turning a VTL Online/
Offline
syscli --online vtl (--name <VTL_name>) | --all
This CLI command allows the admin to turn a VTL online.
syscli --offline vtl (--name <VTL_name>) | --all
This CLI command allows the admin to turn a VTL offline. A VTL needs to be
offline before you can edit or delete a partition.
Listing Available Hosts
syscli --list host
This CLI command allows the CLI admin to display a list of available hosts. The
WWPN, its alias (if it was added by the user) and connection status are returned
for each host. If the host alias was not added initially, the output will indicate
that no alias was given.
An example output of a host with no alias given is shown below.

If the host already exists from the list of available hosts, adding the same host
will return an error.
Editing a Host
syscli --edit host --wwpn <host_world_wide_port_name> --alias
<host_alias>
This CLI command allows the CLI admin to add or change the host alias of a
host. The required parameter are the existing host's world wide port name
(WWPN) and alias.
