Hi, One of our LTO 2 tapes, (and many like them).
HT0329 COPYPOOL1 HDLA02 469,125.6 88.6 Full Seems to be a config issue in your config. Maybe the drive isn't configured to write in compressed format? Maybe the clients are configured to compress their data before sending it to the ITSM server?

Sent: donderdag 20 april 2006 18:29 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: tape capacity Why it is LTO2 capacity reads differently than 3590's. My 3590's report 40GB when filling and "at least" 40GB when full. K tapes read 20/40 and LTO2's 200/400. So why wouldn't it show at least 400? Is this a TSM, LTO or some other issue causing this? Is a tape reporting 215GB when full really holding more than that? It also makes no sense if estimated capacity is 400GB, and the drive is capable of supporting that, it only reports 200.

Until the tape is actually full, it seems to base it's %full on the "estimated capacity" of the device class. So I'm thinking you probably set your lto2 dev class to 400GB. Once the tape is full, tsm switchs to stating the ACTUAL amount of data it got on the tape. The other peculiarity I noticed is that it doesn't seem to take compression into account in that number. To be honest it's still a little confusing to me as well. It seems to only show native capacity (~200GB), but yet some tapes show a bit more (~235GB), as if it did take some compression into account. That shouldn't be right either though, as I know my data is more compressible than 17%. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4/19/2006 6:50 PM >>> Question related to collocation groups: If 10 nodes are in one group will it only mount one tape even if no other tape drives are busy? If I have a directory disk pool that is cached will it still go to one tape after migration or will collocation groups affect that? What I see leads me to believe the answer is yes. I am seeing multiple tapes for the directory tape pool with little to no data. Do folks still use this option? Why do tapes that are not full show capacity of 381GB yet when they go full only show about 200GB? Do I need to force compression on with the drives or something?
