Hello Fernando,

On the Windows platform, the block size used by the TSM server version
5.1.8 for regular back up on LTO is 32K. It's 256K on the UNIX platforms.
You can not change the block size used by the TSM server.

Regards,

Hunny Kershaw

Hi!



I'm running TSM server 5.1.8 with STK L180 Seagate LTO drives.

I would like to check the blocksize being used and if needed change it.

Does anybody know?
