Hi all TSM'ers

The setup:

TSM 4.2.1.0 Server on AIX 4.3.
TSM 4.2.1.26 Client on Windows 2000
TSM Storageagent 4.2.0.1 on Windows 2000
TDP for SAP on Windows 2000

The Win2000 is connected to the SAN via a Qlogic card.

When we start a SAP backup, the tape gets mounted in the correct tape drive, 
however the following error occurs: (output from dsmsta)

ANR0400I Session 6 started for node BSASAP31 (TDP R3 WINNT) (Named Pipe).
ANR8337I LTO volume 541ABW mounted in drive DRIVE1 (\\.\Tape2).
ANR8938E The adapter for tape drive DRIVE1 (\\.\Tape2) cannot handle  the block
size needed to use the volume.
ANR8468I LTO volume 541ABW dismounted from drive DRIVE1 (\\.\Tape2) in library
LIB3584.
ANR1401W Mount request denied for volume 541ABW - mount failed.

Any ideas as to why it complains about the "block size" and how to fix it?

Thanks and regards
