Hi I have managed to config the hard disk partitions in my disklist but I am short of tape space to include the remainder of the hard disk partitions.
I had initially run the following commands is it possible to get compression functioning to enable to use 40GB as opposed to native 20GB. * - amtapetype -f /dev/nst0 # determine tape type takes along time * - turn off datacompression run mt command that controls magnetic tape drive operation. * - mt -f /dev/nst0 status and mt -f /dev/nst0 datcompression 0 Compression off. As I don't want to buy bigger tapes if possible.
