Preventive Service Planning


Abstract

Configuration Information for Dell Powervault 100T DAT72, IBM DAT72, HP StorageWorks DAT72, DAT 72x6 and Quantum/Certance/Seagate DAT72 Drives

Content


Dell PowerVault 100T DAT72
IBM 36/72 GB DDS Gen-5 (PN 71P9145 and PN 39M5656)
IBM 9110-1955 (36/72 GB DAT72)
HP StorageWorks DAT72
HP StorageWorks DAT 72x6
Quantum/Certance/Seagate DAT72

1. When defining a device class for DAT72 drive, use

  • devtype=4MM
  • format=<format=<DRIVE | DDS3 | DDS3C | DDS4 | DDS4C | DDS5 | DDS5C>


  • Example:

    DEFine DEVclass devclassname DEVType=4MM FORMAT=DDS5 .....
    DEFine DEVclass devclassname DEVType=4MM FORMAT=DDS5C .....

    DDS5 - Specifies that TSM writes data that uses the DDS5 recording format. This format results in a cartridge capacity of 36 GB when using DAT72 media.

    DDS5C - Specifies that TSM writes data that uses the DDS5 recording format with compression. This format results in a cartridge capacity of approximately 72 GB when using DAT72 media.

2. 36 GB native capacity and approximately 72 GB with 2:1 compression
