Description
This operation lists the tape libraries that are known to the target Console. The object URI, name, state and the URI of its associated CPC are provided for each.
If the name query parameter is specified, the returned list is limited to those tape libraries that have a name property matching the specified filter pattern. If the name parameter is omitted, this filtering is not done.
If the state query parameter is specified, the parameter is validated to ensure it is a valid value for the tape library state property according to the data model. If the value is not valid, a 400 (Bad Request) is returned. If the value is valid, the returned list is limited to those tape libraries that have a state property matching the specified value. If the state parameter is omitted, this filtering is not done.
If the cpc-uri query parameter is specified, the returned list is limited to those tape libraries that have a matching cpc-uri property. If the cpc-uri parameter is omitted, this filtering is not done.
A tape library is included in the list only if the API user has object-access permission for that object. If the API user does not have permission to a tape library, that object is simply omitted from the list but no error status code results.
If no tape libraries are to be included in the results due to filtering or lack of object-access permission, an empty list is provided and the operation completes successfully.
Authorization requirements
- Object-access permission to each Tape Library object to be included in the result.
