Hi Chis!
Yes, you have to have a very recent microcode level on your drives.
About a month ago I replaced all my copypool tapes with XL tapes and guess
what? ADSM still reports an estimated capacity of 5000 Mb! I was expecting
to see a decrease of about 40 % on the amount of tapes used in the copypool,
but no. For some reason ADSM doesn't seem to fill the XL tapes up to the end
of the volume.
Kindest regards,
Eric van Loon
