Using LTO2 tapes 200/400 but bue only sees 200gigs?

hello everyone, we've been using an HP StorageWorks SSL1016 and bue 10 and then 11d.  We've always used LTO2 tapes that are 200/400 but bue shows the "used capacity" of "0 bytes of 196 gb".
 
I am currently using "Hardware compresstion else none" on my backup jobs, but I think that's useless if it only sees 200gigs.  Is this a bue feature or a lack of a feature of our StorageWorks SSL1016?
 
thank you for reading,

  • Couple of things to check
     
    From the devices tab, right click the tape drive\Properties and verify that "enable hardware compression" is selected
     
    Also you may have to enable hardware compression on the drive itself  - Check the manual
