Request Parameters

Parameter	Description	Required
operation	The operation to perform. For this request, the operation is import. Value: IMPORT	yes
bucket_id	The UUID for the bucket to which to assign the tape. Note: The bucket must have a data policy including a persistence rule for a tape storage domain.	yes

where the response elements are defined as follows:

Parameter	Description
Data	A container for the response.
AssignedToStorageDomain	Whether the tape is currently assigned to a storage domain. Values: TRUE, FALSE
AvailableRaw Capacity	The amount of unused raw capacity on the tape in bytes.
BarCode	The barcode on the label of the tape cartridge.
BucketId	The UUID for the bucket to which the tape is assigned.
DescriptionFor Identification	The LTFS Volume ID and name, if applicable. This is only provided if the BlackPearl system cannot identify the tape.
EjectDate	The date and time that the BlackPearl system discovered that the tape was ejected, in the format YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.xxxZ. If the parameter is empty, the tape has not been ejected.
EjectLabel	The user-entered information to assist in the handling of the tape.
EjectLocation	The user-entered information to describe where the ejected tape can be located.
EjectPending	The date and time that the tape was put in the queue to be ejected in the format YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.xxxZ. If the parameter is empty, the tape has not been queued to be ejected or the eject has started and is no longer cancelable.
FullOfData	Whether the tape is completely full of data. Values: TRUE, FALSE
Id	The UUID for the tape.
LastAccessed	The last date and time the tape was loaded into a tape drive in the format YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.xxxZ.
LastCheckpoint	An identifier, internal to the BlackPearl system, for verifying the application integrity of the tape.
LastModified	The last date and time the tape was modified in the format YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.xxxZ.
LastVerified	The last date and time the checksum of the data was verified in the format YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.xxxZ.
PartiallyVerified EndOfTape	The last date and time the BlackPearl system verified the data on a specified percentage of the tape capacity before the EOD marker in the format YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.xxxZ.
PartitionId	The UUID for the partition to which the tape belongs.
PreviousState	The previous status of the tape. See State.
SerialNumber	The manufacturer-assigned serial number for the tape.
State	The status of the tape. See State.
StorageDomainId	The UUID for the storage domain to which the tape is assigned.
TakeOwnership Pending	Whether a foreign LTFS tape is waiting for ownership by the current system to be completed. Values: § TRUE — The foreign tape was imported when WriteProtected was TRUE, preventing the tape from being claimed by the current system. § FALSE — The tape was imported successfully.
TotalRawCapacity	The total raw capacity of the tape in bytes.
Type	The tape format and generation of the tape cartridge. Values: LTO5, LTO6, LTO7, LTO8, LTOM8, LTO_CLEANING_TAPE, TS_JC, TS_JD, TS_JK, TS_JL, TS_JY, TS_JZ, TS_CLEANING_TAPE, UNKNOWN, FORBIDDEN
