Hello,

I’m looking for a command to change the container of a tape media.

In the CommandCenter it’s not possible to change the container and therefore I can’t find an equivalent API.

In the Console I’m able to change the container of a tape but even if I activated logging (ALT-F8) there was nothing useful in the logs.

I was searching through documentation but found no qcommand or anything to change the container.

...development just got back to me regarding this. We unfortunately do not have an API call for this option as of now ...

Hey ​@Marc St. 

The only thing I know about tapes and containers is associated with vault tracker - is this what you mean? there is a CLI utility for that but I can’t say I’ve done anything with it.

Hope that helps:

Hi Damian,
Thank you for your input.

With this command I can modify a container, but I can’t assign a tape to a container.

I found another command to change the location of a tape, but the location is already used by the vault tracker policies and it should not be overwritten.
