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
RMAN-03023: executing command: allocate
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
