Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> 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> }
