Request Syntax

response_iterator = paginator.paginate(
    GatewayARN='string',
    TapeARNs=[
        'string',
    ],
    PaginationConfig={
        'MaxItems': 123,
        'PageSize': 123,
        'StartingToken': 'string'
    }
)
Parameters
  • GatewayARN (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the gateway. Use the ListGateways operation to return a list of gateways for your account and Amazon Web Services Region.

  • TapeARNs (list) --

    Specifies one or more unique Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) that represent the virtual tapes you want to describe. If this parameter is not specified, Tape gateway returns a description of all virtual tapes associated with the specified gateway.

    • (string) --
  • PaginationConfig (dict) --

    A dictionary that provides parameters to control pagination.

    • MaxItems (integer) --

      The total number of items to return. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified in max-items then a NextToken will be provided in the output that you can use to resume pagination.

    • PageSize (integer) --

      The size of each page.

    • StartingToken (string) --

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

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    DescribeTapesOutput

    • Tapes (list) --

      An array of virtual tape descriptions.

      • (dict) --

        Describes a virtual tape object.

        • TapeARN (string) --

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the virtual tape.

        • TapeBarcode (string) --

          The barcode that identifies a specific virtual tape.

        • TapeCreatedDate (datetime) --

          The date the virtual tape was created.

        • TapeSizeInBytes (integer) --

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

        • TapeStatus (string) --

          The current state of the virtual tape.

        • VTLDevice (string) --

          The virtual tape library (VTL) device that the virtual tape is associated with.

        • Progress (float) --

          For archiving virtual tapes, indicates how much data remains to be uploaded before archiving is complete.

          Range: 0 (not started) to 100 (complete).

        • TapeUsedInBytes (integer) --

          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) --

When you use your backup application to eject the tape, the tape is archived directly into the storage class (S3 Glacier or S3 Glacier Deep Archive) that corresponds to the pool.

        • Worm (boolean) --

          If the tape is archived as write-once-read-many (WORM), this value is true .

        • RetentionStartDate (datetime) --

        • PoolEntryDate (datetime) --

          The date that the tape enters a custom tape pool.

    • NextToken (string) --

      A token to resume pagination.
