 Hello,

we replaced our IBM3592-E05 with new IBM3592-E06. On long media (JB) they store 1 TB instead 700 GB which is almost 50 % more.

My question is
"How to distinguish E05 written media from E06 written ?"

First approach is to look when the first file was written. If it is after our replacement of the drives, it has to be in E06 format. TSM only provides me of the last written date, but if some files are already written in E05 format I suspect that for the rest of the tape the format will not be changed and written in E05-Format, too.

Is there some way to recognize if a given tape is written in E05 or E06 format ?

My second question relates to the first one.
My plan is to set E05 written tapes to READONLY and do a move data for each volume in E05-format to get all data newly written in E06 format.

Something more clever than that ?


Matthias
