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.
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.
