Hi Phillip (and all),

We use 3590E model drives in a 3494 ATL, and the vollowing is a Q VOL

We use the following definition for the device class:

ANS8000I Server command: 'q devclass 3590*'

3590E-256    Sequential          5    3590         3590E-         0.0
 DRIVES
                                                    -C

So instead of "DRIVE" I specified 3590-C and as you can see, one tape
above has 143 GB (compressed) data on it.

Hi all,

We have a 3494 tape library installed with 2 3590 tape drivers. We use
40GB

Question: We set the device fromat to be 'DRIVE' which means use the
highest
format that it supports, does it mean it uses HW compress? Form the 'q
vol'
output, it seems it uses as 40GB. How do we 'turn on' the HW compress
if it
is not compressed? Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,
Phillip Guan
