That does seem like a good number, they are being conservative. I would have thought they would have recommended 8250 as long as 2200 has been working for you.

I'm hoping someone else has gone through this exercise. We have STK 9840s emulating 3490s. We are about to install 9840Ds and migrate our HSM Backups and ML2 data from 9840As to 9840Ds. We currently have 2200 specified for our 9840As TAPEUTILIZATION(UNITTYPE(3490) PERCENTFULL(2200)) What is the correct Percentfull value for a 9840D emulating a 3490? Slot usage is an issue so I'm looking to store the maximum amount of data per tape volume. Tapes are Duplexed and TAPESPANSIZE is specified so Nolimit is not an option.
