Hi,

I need to know how many TBs are being used in our TS3500.

We use CA-TLMS and we have 60 x 3592 cartridges model JC (4TB) and tape drives
are TS1140 (3592-E07).

Is there a CA-TLMS report that tells me how many TBs are in use on each
cartridge?

Or any other source that can give me an estimate of this?

60 x 3592JC = 240TB, which would be the nominal capacity, but it still has 2.5:1
compression so our usage would be around 600TB. Is this rigth?

Thanks for any hints about.

I did a report. Listed every file on every tape, multiplied the
numbers to a slight overestimate of file size, then summed them for a
total. May need to skip tape data sets no longer on the tape (x days
past expiration, delete flag, etc.).

CA-1 has a report called TMEVSNM in the samples.
I'm hoping an equivalent for the same will be available in TLMS.
If not, it's worth going through the samples library or the docs to find out what's there.

Carlos,

Open a Broadcom support ticket and we will get you a new EARL report that is
similar to the CA 1 TMETPUSE EARL report. It will give you the size as
written by the application and the size as stored in cache (after IDRC
compression). Haven't published it yet, sorry.
