Using TSM 5.1.6.2 on Solaris 8 with a Sun L20 Tape Library (using DLT8000

drives) how can I check if TSM uses the hardware compression of the drives?<

TSM doesn't use hardware compression. Whether or not a tape drive uses 
compression is a parameter set at the operating system level.

So how do I turn it on using the TSM tape driver (there's no special
device like if I use the normal Solaris driver)???
