Question about upgrading 3590B1a to 3590E1a. Is there any other documentation/procedure I can review. I've been asked to convert. Is it a simple process? should I upgrade all drives at onetime? Do I need a second device class? How could I use the old vols on the new drives? Help

Native capacity should be 10 GB. They do not support the K tapes. Upgrade to 3590E1A for that support and 256 track tapes. Orville L.

"q vol" reports: Estimate Capacity is about 18GB, Status is FULL, Pct Util is about 95-100% and Pct. Reclaimable Space is about 0-5% (There is no tape with more then 18GB). Compression is done on the Drive side. FORMAT = DRIVE is defined on the Devclass. I would expect that the Estimate Capacity should indicate the actual capacity on the tapes (after compression), regardless of what is defined on the Devclass. Is this a real problem or only a report problem? Any idea? Nathan Himmel Semech Software Marketing LTD. Tel:(972)-3-5333144 Fax:(972)-3-5333132 Email:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
