Hi,
The format of a device class is set to "drive" and "query drive" shows the
read and write format is "3592C,3592". The question is when does TSM uses
the compressed format? In a TSM 5.3 system, almost all volumes are 300GB (q
vol) except one of them. I cannot explain why TSM have not treated this one
like other volumes while cartridges are of the same type.

Thanks
