Hi all,
We recently deployed an AlphaServer 4100 running Digital UNIX 4.0D
connected through KZPSAs to several HSZ70 controllers, which are driving
ESA1000 cabinets.
Attached to one of the HSZs, we've got a TZ88 configured as a passthrough
unit, as documented in the HSZ manuals. The problem is this: since
setting the tape up like this, we're only able to write to it in blocks
<= 64k. In our previous setup, we had the same TZ88 directly attached
to a plain BA356 shelf, and could write in blocks of 512k (probably
more.) Our database folks believe the 64k limit is slowing their backups
down unreasonably.
Is there a reason for the 64k limit (something HSZ specific, maybe?) or
a way around it? Compaq support keeps passing me between the hardware
and software side of the house.
Thanks all,
-Bill
