!!!RESTORE DB ERRORS !!!

HI ADSM-ers


in ADSM Server Level 15 there was introduced an new OPTION in dsmserv.opt
USELARGETAPEBLOCK   YES

Please all users with this option active check out your restore db
procedure.
I did'nt got my db restored (in test scenarios) with this option activated.
And I've tested it several times !!!

Configuration  OS       AIX 4.1.5
          Server        V2 Level 15
          Tapes STK DLT7000

With this option inactive everything works fine.
Thanx for any help & comment's
