DEFine DEVclass devclassname DEVType=ECARTridge FORMAT=M8100 .....
DEFine DEVclass devclassname DEVType=ECARTridge FORMAT=M8100C .....
M8100 - Specifies that TSM writes data that uses the M8100 recording format. This format results in a cartridge capacity of 10GB when using 10GB 3590 cartridges.
M8100C - Specifies that TSM writes data that uses the M8100 recording format with compression ratio of 3:1 . This format results in a cartridge capacity of 30GB when using 10GB 3590 cartridges.
3. 10GB native capacity and approximately 30GB with 3:1 compression.
4. Supported media - 3590
5. Device identification and firmware level
- Device ID : FUJITSU M8100A2
Firmware : 4R20
Sony GY-8240
1. Device type - DTF
2. Supported TSM formats
- DTF and DTFC
DEFine DEVclass devclassname DEVType=DTF FORMAT=DTF2 .....
DEFine DEVclass devclassname DEVType=DTF FORMAT=DTF2C .....
DTF2 - Specifies that TSM writes data that uses the DTF2 recording format. This format results in a cartridge capacity of 200GB when using 200GWL media and 60GB when using 60GWS media.
DTF2C - Specifies that TSM writes data that uses the DTF2 recording format with compression. This format results in a cartridge capacity of 400GB when using 200GWL media and 120GB when using 60GWS media.
3. Backward compatibility

Library and drive may require different minimum Tivoli Storage Manager levels. Therefore, ensure that both library and drive hardware are supported. See "Supported Devices for AIX, HP-UX, Solaris and Windows" or "Supported Devices for Linux" for minimum supported version levels and platforms for these devices.
More information regarding device configuration is available in the Tivoli Storage Manager Administrator's Guide, which can be found in the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager information center.
