describe-tape-archives

Description

Returns a description of specified virtual tapes in the virtual tape shelf (VTS). This operation is only supported in the tape gateway type.

If a specific TapeARN is not specified, Storage Gateway returns a description of all virtual tapes found in the VTS associated with your account.

See also: AWS API Documentation

describe-tape-archives is a paginated operation. Multiple API calls may be issued in order to retrieve the entire data set of results. You can disable pagination by providing the --no-paginate argument. When using --output text and the --query argument on a paginated response, the --query argument must extract data from the results of the following query expressions: TapeArchives

Options

--tape-arns (list)

Specifies one or more unique Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) that represent the virtual tapes you want to describe.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--starting-token (string)

A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previously truncated response.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--page-size (integer)

The size of each page to get in the AWS service call. This does not affect the number of items returned in the command’s output. Setting a smaller page size results in more calls to the AWS service, retrieving fewer items in each call. This can help prevent the AWS service calls from timing out.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--max-items (integer)

The total number of items to return in the command’s output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a NextToken is provided in the command’s output. To resume pagination, provide the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json

  • text

  • table

  • yaml

  • yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on

  • off

  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

  • base64

  • raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

Output

TapeArchives -> (list)

An array of virtual tape objects in the virtual tape shelf (VTS). The description includes of the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the virtual tapes. The information returned includes the Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) of the tapes, size of the tapes, status of the tapes, progress of the description, and tape barcode.

(structure)

Represents a virtual tape that is archived in the virtual tape shelf (VTS).

TapeARN -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an archived virtual tape.

TapeBarcode -> (string)

The barcode that identifies the archived virtual tape.

TapeCreatedDate -> (timestamp)

The date the virtual tape was created.

TapeSizeInBytes -> (long)

The size, in bytes, of the archived virtual tape.

CompletionTime -> (timestamp)

The time that the archiving of the virtual tape was completed.

The default timestamp format is in the ISO8601 extended YYYY-MM-DD’T’HH:MM:SS’Z’ format.

RetrievedTo -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the tape gateway that the virtual tape is being retrieved to.

The virtual tape is retrieved from the virtual tape shelf (VTS).

TapeStatus -> (string)

The current state of the archived virtual tape.

TapeUsedInBytes -> (long)

The size, in bytes, of data stored on the virtual tape.

Note

This value is not available for tapes created prior to May 13, 2015.

KMSKey -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a symmetric customer master key (CMK) used for Amazon S3 server-side encryption. Storage Gateway does not support asymmetric CMKs. This value can only be set when KMSEncrypted is true . Optional.

PoolId -> (string)

The ID of the pool that was used to archive the tape. The tapes in this pool are archived in the S3 storage class that is associated with the pool.

Worm -> (boolean)

Set to true if the archived tape is stored as write-once-read-many (WORM).

RetentionStartDate -> (timestamp)

If the archived tape is subject to tape retention lock, the date that the archived tape started being retained.

PoolEntryDate -> (timestamp)

The time that the tape entered the custom tape pool.

The default timestamp format is in the ISO8601 extended YYYY-MM-DD’T’HH:MM:SS’Z’ format.

Marker -> (string)

An opaque string that indicates the position at which the virtual tapes that were fetched for description ended. Use this marker in your next request to fetch the next set of virtual tapes in the virtual tape shelf (VTS). If there are no more virtual tapes to describe, this field does not appear in the response.
