storagegateway_create_tapes: Creates one or more virtual tapes

Description

Creates one or more virtual tapes. You write data to the virtual tapes and then archive the tapes. This operation is only supported in the tape gateway type.

Usage

storagegateway_create_tapes(GatewayARN, TapeSizeInBytes, ClientToken,
  NumTapesToCreate, TapeBarcodePrefix, KMSEncrypted, KMSKey, PoolId)

Arguments

GatewayARN

[required] The unique Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that represents the gateway to associate the virtual tapes with. Use the ListGateways operation to return a list of gateways for your account and region.

TapeSizeInBytes

[required] The size, in bytes, of the virtual tapes that you want to create.

The size must be aligned by gigabyte (1024*1024*1024 byte).

ClientToken

[required] A unique identifier that you use to retry a request. If you retry a request, use the same ClientToken you specified in the initial request.

Using the same ClientToken prevents creating the tape multiple times.

NumTapesToCreate

[required] The number of virtual tapes that you want to create.

TapeBarcodePrefix

[required] A prefix that you append to the barcode of the virtual tape you are creating. This prefix makes the barcode unique.

The prefix must be 1 to 4 characters in length and must be one of the uppercase letters from A to Z.

KMSEncrypted

True to use Amazon S3 server side encryption with your own AWS KMS key, or false to use a key managed by Amazon S3. Optional.

KMSKey

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the AWS KMS key used for Amazon S3 server side encryption. This value can only be set when KMSEncrypted is true. Optional.

PoolId

The ID of the pool that you want to add your tape to for archiving. The tape in this pool is archived in the S3 storage class you chose when you created the tape. When you use your backup application to eject the tape, the tape is archived directly into the storage class (Glacier or Deep Archive).

Valid values: "GLACIER", "DEEP\_ARCHIVE"

Request syntax

svc$create_tapes(
  GatewayARN = "string",
  TapeSizeInBytes = 123,
  ClientToken = "string",
  NumTapesToCreate = 123,
  TapeBarcodePrefix = "string",
  KMSEncrypted = TRUE|FALSE,
  KMSKey = "string",
  PoolId = "string"
)

Details

Cache storage must be allocated to the gateway before you can create virtual tapes. Use the AddCache operation to add cache storage to a gateway.

Examples

Run this code

# NOT RUN {
# Creates one or more virtual tapes.
# }

  NumTapesToCreate = 3L,
  TapeBarcodePrefix = "TEST",
  TapeSizeInBytes = 107374182400
)
