Hello world,
our environment:
TSM 5.5.6 on Windows2008 R2
IBMTape.x64_w08_6233 drivers installed
Adaptec SCSI Card 29320LP (installed most recent version of drivers: Ultra320 SCSI Driver v7.00.00.12 for Windows 7 & Server 2008R2)
IBM TS3100 Tape Library - LTO Ultrium 4
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\adpu320\Parameters\Device
MaximumSGList =dword:0x00000041 (decimal 65)
I've also ran DSMMAXSG utility to set the MaximumSGList value to 0x41(65) for all HBAs.
I'my trying to restore TSM DB backed up on tape volume by our previous TSM 5.5.4 (this previous server crashed and we have only tape volumes available). Output of tsm trace log during restore operation:
10:15:05.698 [12][psntpop.c][1757][]vrPsTape GET_TAPE_DRIVE_INFORMATION, maxblocksize 65536

I've taken the necessary steps by http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21321897 but the result is the same.
I did database backup to tape on our current TSM 5.5.6. Data are backed up with blockSize=32768. This is output of tsm trace log:
11:58:32.205 [15][psntpop.c][1757][]vrPsTape GET_TAPE_DRIVE_INFORMATION, maxblocksize 65536
11:58:32.205 [15][pvrntp.c][1194][]:Opening NTP Volume 654321L4 blocksize=0, Drive DRIVE01 (mt4.0.0.4) maxblocksize=65536.
11:58:32.205 [15][pvrntp.c][1242][]:Using the NoCopy method (False) with RS = 0 and BS = 0, PVR's blockSize = 32768.
Which more parameters do I have to set if I don't want to write to tape/read from tape with blocksize=32768 but blocksize=65536?
Many thanks for your responses.
