Miscalculation of Estimated Capacity for DEVCLASS=FILE

I believe the "estimated capacity" of a full volume is the actual amount of data written to the volume when it became full, so it's not really estimated anymore. On 01/18/2012 07:27 AM, Botelho, Tiago (External) wrote: > > > Hello > > > > I have severa

When the tape is "Filling" , it will use the value in the device class for estimated capacity. Once the tape is marked Full, it will change to the actual amount of data on the tape (before compression) since it doesn't need to estimate anymore The different numbers are the resul

Seems like a case of over-optimism. :-) LTO4 physical capacity is a maximum of 800 GB. You may not get that or much more depending upon data compressibility, physical file sizes, and tape block sizes. You could reduce your Estimated Capacity value if the 1.0 T results in annoying reporting

To the best of my knowlege it will. Estimated capasity is only used untill the tape is filled the first time so that you can get a estimate of the storage pools capacity. (number of volumes x estimated capacity per volume = estimated capacity of the storage pool) Actual capacity is a function

Yes :-) The estimated capacity is set per devclass and is just an indication of what you expect for tapes/volumes used in that devclass. This then gets used to 'estimate' the % utilized per volume and to reflect the total size of a storage pool (based on the number of scratch tapes t

Don't do anything. As long as you don't define an estimated capacity TSM will use the whole tape. Your capacity stuff looks a little funny, but over time, as more and more tapes become full, the estimated capacity on the pool (not each tape) will increase. I think you will probably
