Automate Cartridge Capacity Calculations

Set the sysparm CARTCALC to (Y) to have CA Disk automatically calculate the capacity of each cartridge regardless of type.

Business Value:

Using Y for the sysparm CARTCALC allows the cartridge capacity to be requested from the device. This means a higher utilization for each cartridge regardless of type.

Additional Considerations:

Sun/STK and IBM high capacity tapes must have CARTCALC specified as Y or the cartridge will be underutilized.

More Information:

For more information about the CARTCALC parameter, see the Systems Guide.
