Larre, Check your TAPEUTILIZATION parameter for these tapes. If the drives are defined as 3590-1 you will have to increase the utilization to a number around 2200-2400%. If you are using the normal 97% then I would expect to only see about 15-20 gb used on a tape.

As far as we can determine, we have everything defined correctly. Is anybody currently using T10K tape drives for HSM and did you have this issue? What did you do to correct it? Thanks!
