This is a tool that talks to the Spectra Logic tape libraries using their XML API.

SLAPI

SLAPI is a command-line tool that communicates with Spectra Logic tape libraries using their XML command reference. This provides a simple way to administer and monitor Spectra Logic tape libraries in large data centers.

Getting Started

In order to use SLAPI, you must have python3 installed on your system. On RHEL distributions, it would be simplest to ensure your systems have the EPEL repository enabled. Our RHEL7-based systems have python34 installed.

$ yum install python34-requests

slapi's Issues

ciphers don't match?

For some reason with our bluescale, the connection in chrome says The connection to this site is encrypted and authenticated using TLS 1.2, ECDHE_RSA with P-256, and AES_128_GCM. however when attempting to connect with slapi, I get:

Command 'drivelist': <urlopen error [SSL: SSLV3_ALERT_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE] sslv3 alert handshake failure (_ssl.c:1123)>

Somehow the ciphers aren't lining up, as commenting out the set_ciphers line and it works. Thank you.

config instructions request

Hello. It might be nice if the README or --help output explained how to create a config file (syntax). Or didn't require one if user+pass were provided on the command line :)
Thanks!

Plan for migrating to Lumos ?

Hello Team,

This is rather a discussion than an issue.

First thanks for your tool. We are using it (too) oftenly on our 2 Tfinity to gather the logs when we have trouble.

We will upgrade the Tfinity to LumOS some and get rid of Bluscale and Windows CE.

Do you plan to make a port of your tool for Lumos ?

Thanks.

Security Audit doesnt work

Hello All,

The security audit doesn't currently work correctly, it doesn't seem to parse the XML response correctly when checking to see if one is already running. When you turn on verbose, you can see that in the XML response is that nothing is running, but for some reason even with the 'start' parameter added it still wont run as it says one is already running.

I removed the check to see if one was running, and the command is successful, so its not a Spectra BlueScale or command structure issue, its more that the initial XML response when checking to see if one is already running isn't working.
