HP LTO Ultrium-2 drive compression

[Smucker]

ahhh misread the post our drives are hooked up to hp-ux not windows...


These are IBM drives also


sorry

well then you're in luck....cause i ran into that with my L700 with IBM LTO2 drives.
Check your driver, it is most likely the hp stape driver for each drive, you won't get any compression with that. You need to go to IBM's website and download the atdd driver for your drives. That will give you ALL KINDS of compression. I get close to a gig on most of my tapes now.

Charles,

To utilize IBM LTO on HP-UX, the IBM LTO for HP-UX device driver is required. This can be obtained from the following URL:

best regards,

Hello,

I had the same issue and I had to install the HP starageworks and libary tools, In there I went to the configuration tabe and click on options, the enable or change option need to be selected. I was running Windows Server.
