Magstar supports cartridge capacities of 10GB and 20GB of uncompressed data. The cartridge used by this device is unique and cannot be used by any other IBM tape device.
CA Disk acknowledges this device using the use of esoteric unit names. Once a unique esoteric is assigned to these devices, CA Disk begins storing this esoteric name in each ARCHVOLS record created on the device. This procedure allows CA Disk to dynamically request the proper input device during XCOPY, RESTORE, RECOVER, or XCOPY processing.
For an overview description on the capacities the Magstar device has, see IBM's Magstar 3590 Tape Device in the User Guide.
