Using the GUI, Setup>Options

Or you can modify CAPACITY in file /etc/mhvtl/mhvtl.conf

But your issue has nothing to do with tape size ..

estimated size can be set during defining the new device class, example :

DEFINE Devc 03584L32 library=03584L32 devt=lto estcapacity=5000m

Could you also show your device class details :

q devc 03584L32 f=d
