atis:///tape?<GUID of attached library>* |
*Using this format, you can access a tape library or drive only if it is directly attached to the managed machine. You can determine the GUID of this library or drive by using the list tape_libraries and list tape_drives commands, respectively.
For a tape library or drive attached to a storage node, a centralized vault should be created on that storage node. To access such tape library or drive, use the bsp://<storage node>/<vault name> format.
