SLDT H/W compression not happening

Hi

We had a N-Class server running on HP-UX 11 and a DLT Library (ATL) with a Quantum Super DLT Drive(120/240 GB). We are using Veritas Netback up for backup. SDLT is taking only 120 GB, i.e. it is not doing the compression. Using STM I found that compression is disabled. Please find the attached output of STM. Is there any way to enable the compression.

Thanks in ADV

Hi Rajesh,

The devicename of the tapedrive determines if HWcompression will be used. Use a devicename like *BEST to enable HWcompression.

Goodluck
