Hi everyone,

 

We've got a Solaris NW server.  We used to have several Windows storage
nodes which shared drives with our NW server.  Because of this, we set
the block-size for our tapes to be compatible across all platforms.
This meant that we reduced the block-size on the Solaris side to match
the Windows side.

 

Well, we no longer have the Windows storage nodes.  We now have a
Solaris storage node which shares drives with our Solaris NW server.  Is
it possible to increase the block-size?  Or will this make all our
existing tapes unreadable?

 

Thanks.

Teresa
