SMF 21 records contain byte counts, compressed and uncompressed, read and written, with ONLY the dismount time of the tape. But MXG users can use the MXGTMNT Tape Mount Monitor, which not only generates an SMF record for each mount of each volser, with mount start and mount satisfied time stamps,

In addition to the overhead of software encryption, consider the effects of the loss of hardware compression for the data written to tape, which will affect both tape performance and thus elapsed time and the amount of tape used. Both effects might pose challenges for jobs that need to finish
