Tape

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 command.

For a tape library or drive attached to a storage node, a managed location should be created on that storage node. To access such tape library or drive, use the bsp://<storage node>/<location name> format.
