We have new (to us) 3590 B11 drives without the "extended length
media" feature (in other words, we'll be using the "J", or blue, tape).
When I go into VM/Backup to create a pool, the choices for mode within HPT are:
HPTB
NPTC - "hardware compaction" - IBMLZ1
There are 3 kinds of 3590 drives - B11, E11, and H11, and two kinds
of tapes that can be used on all of these drives - J and K - K being
the "extended length media", or green tape. I'm having difficulty
relating "NPTC" to this scheme.
What do other people use in VM/Backup for B11's with "J" series tape?
