Re: Tape Density Question

Exabyte tapes usually mimick themselves as some other type (non-8mm) on
AS/400, so you cannot control density from OS/400 commands.
You have to use DENSITY(*DEVD), which will use whatever was set on device
itself.
If you want to change density, do it from device control panel.

For Exabyte we have the device defined as 3422 model A01. Exactly how we
arrived at
those has escaped me but I suspect that that is what the manual said or
what tech
support said. In looking at the descriptions, I cannot tell where the *DEVD
parm is?
but by its name it is refering back to the device type (Resource Name) and
Model
number, so if you can get ahold of someone perhaps there is another
device/model that
might yield higher speeds?
