There is no such parameter.

However, what they are referring to is the MEDIA_UNMOUNT_DELAY.

This has NOTHING to do with how long to wait for the tape rewind and 
EVERYTHING to do with how long to wait BEFORE issuing an 'mt offline' to 
the device.

Don't forget that the MEDIA_UNMOUNT_DELAY ONLY applies to user operations.
So unless you are running lots of user directed backups (db extensions for 
example), this parameter isn't going to do anything anyway.

If you want more info, contact VERITAS Support, they'd be happy to share 
their information with you regarding this.
