CreateTapeWithBarcode
Creates a virtual tape by using your own barcode. You write data to the virtual tape and then archive the tape. A barcode is unique and cannot be reused if it has already been used on a tape. This applies to barcodes used on deleted tapes. This operation is only supported in the tape gateway type.
Note
Cache storage must be allocated to the gateway before you can create a virtual tape. Use the AddCache operation to add cache storage to a gateway.

}Request Parameters
For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.
The request accepts the following data in JSON format.
- GatewayARN
-
The unique Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that represents the gateway to associate the virtual tape with. Use the ListGateways operation to return a list of gateways for your account and AWS Region.
Type: String
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 50. Maximum length of 500.
Required: Yes
- KMSEncrypted
-
Set to
trueto use Amazon S3 server-side encryption with your own AWS KMS key, orfalseto use a key managed by Amazon S3. Optional.Valid Values:
true|falseType: Boolean
Required: No
- KMSKey
-
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a symmetric customer master key (CMK) used for Amazon S3 server-side encryption. Storage Gateway does not support asymmetric CMKs. This value can only be set when
KMSEncryptedistrue. Optional.Type: String
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 7. Maximum length of 2048.
Pattern:
(^arn:(aws(|-cn|-us-gov|-iso[A-Za-z0-9_-]*)):kms:([a-zA-Z0-9-]+):([0-9]+):(key|alias)/(\S+)$)|(^alias/(\S+)$)Required: No
- PoolId
-
The ID of the pool that you want to add your tape to for archiving. The tape in this pool is archived in the S3 storage class that is associated with the pool. When you use your backup application to eject the tape, the tape is archived directly into the storage class (S3 Glacier or S3 Deep Archive) that corresponds to the pool.
Type: String
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 100.
Required: No
- Tags
-
A list of up to 50 tags that can be assigned to a virtual tape that has a barcode. Each tag is a key-value pair.
Note
Valid characters for key and value are letters, spaces, and numbers representable in UTF-8 format, and the following special characters: + - = . _ : / @. The maximum length of a tag's key is 128 characters, and the maximum length for a tag's value is 256.
Type: Array of Tag objects
Required: No
- TapeBarcode
-
The barcode that you want to assign to the tape.
Note
Barcodes cannot be reused. This includes barcodes used for tapes that have been deleted.
Type: String
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 5. Maximum length of 16.
Pattern:
^[A-Z0-9]*$Required: Yes
- TapeSizeInBytes
-
The size, in bytes, of the virtual tape that you want to create.
Note
The size must be aligned by gigabyte (1024*1024*1024 bytes).
Type: Long
Required: Yes
- Worm
-
Set to
TRUEif the tape you are creating is to be configured as a write-once-read-many (WORM) tape.Type: Boolean
Required: No
