Table 6. Recording Format and Default Estimated Capacity for 3590 Tape
Volumes (continued)

Recording Format           EstimatedCapacity
3590E*                                   20GB

Description
Specifies that TSM writes data using the basic format or, if available,
compacted recording format. This results in a tape capacity of approximately
20GB. If the compacted recording format is used, the actual capacity may be
greater, depending on the effectiveness of compression.

Note: An asterisk * indicates recording formats that support compaction.
Because TSM cannot determine the extent to which compaction increases the
capacity of a particular recording format, TSM does not increase the
estimated capacity for recording formats that support compaction.
