Like this?

allocate channel d2 type 'SBT_TAPE' parms 'BLKSIZE=2097152';

Works for me.

Subject: RMAN backup to tape and blksize

Can someone please shed some light on how to pass the blksize parameter to rman on the channel allocation? I have read a couple of white papers, checked docs and did a glance on Metalink, but I am having little luck. DB is 8172 on Solaris 7

Here is what I'm getting:
RMAN> run

2> {
3> allocate channel a1 type 'SBT_TAPE' parms="blksize=1048576";
4> }

RMAN-03022: compiling command: allocate
