Hi All,

We just upgraded all the 3590B1A drives in the 3494 to 3590E1A with the
option to support the Extended Length 3590-K tapes.
I did the following to redefine the drives:

rmdev -l rmt1 -d
cfgmgr
adsm> upd devclass 3590tape format=3590E-C
adsm> del drive 3494lib tapedrive1
adsm> def drive 3494lib tapedrive1 device=/dev/rmt1

The old 3590-J tapes are now showing an Estimated Capacity of 20GB.
However,
the new 3590-K tapes also show an Estimated Capacity of 20GB.  Since the
K tapes have twice as much tape as the J tapes, they should be 40GB.
What do I need to do to make the K tapes show up as 40GB?


Server: AIX 4.3.3

Thanks,
Eliza
