Mark, If your question is just related to filling HSM tapes, the answers already posted are what you need; HSM knows how big the volumes are and how to fill them if you let it. HSM can also stack dump tapes. If you are also looking at using 3592 for other applications you may have difficulty filling them, but you could look to move data from existing tapes to the new, larger ones using a tool that will moves files and stack them onto fewer volumes. There are several tools on the market that work with RMM including a enw one from IBM; The IBM Tivoli Tape Optimizer http://www-306.ibm.com/software/tivoli/products/tape-optimizer-zos/
