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?
You can simply change this and it will still work. Your Solaris server
will not have any problem reading tapes with a smaller block size since
there are none of the issues that you would have had the other way round
where there would have been insufficient buffer space.
