If a cartridge is FULL, does the estimated capacity include files that have been expired on that cartridge? E.g. assuming a tape takes time to fill up, it's possible some of the files on that tape may expire before the tape reaches FULL status. It's also unlikely the space has yet been reclaimed. Once the tape reaches FULL status does the estimated capacity include those files that have expired?

Here's a sample SQL statement. You'll need to filter it for your tape storagepools and only FULL volumes. select volume_name,cast(est_capacity_mb/xxxx as decimal(3,1)) from volumes Use these values for xxxx: 3590B 10240 (10GB native) 3590E 20480 (20GB native) Extended length cartriges double the value.
