Don't do anything. As long as you don't define an estimated capacity TSM
will use the whole tape. Your capacity stuff looks a little funny, but over
time, as more and more tapes become full, the estimated capacity on the pool
(not each tape) will increase. I think you will probably always see a 20GB
estimate.

Subject: Estimated Capacity of 3590-K tapes
Hi All,
We just upgraded all the 3590B1A drives in the 3494 to 3590E1A with the
option to support the Extended Length 3590-K tapes.
I did the following to redefine the drives:
rmdev -l rmt1 -d
cfgmgr
adsm> upd devclass 3590tape format=3590E-C
adsm> del drive 3494lib tapedrive1
adsm> def drive 3494lib tapedrive1 device=/dev/rmt1
The old 3590-J tapes are now showing an Estimated Capacity of 20GB.
However,
the new 3590-K tapes also show an Estimated Capacity of 20GB. Since the
K tapes have twice as much tape as the J tapes, they should be 40GB.
What do I need to do to make the K tapes show up as 40GB?
