Doesn’t the VTL user interface allow you to see a list of write protected tapes? Get a

Apparently it's a thing now to write protect tapes to prevent bad actors
from initializing tape data.
This has gone into the VTL world too.
Of course, the VTL crew tries to figure out a way to automate this with a
cli interface to the vtl. Something about that seems weird. Like, we can
show you that the tapes are write protected, can you check that off the
audit list?
