Thanks for your answer!
So what is the value "SDLTC" in device class "DLT" for? Probably to choice
between compression/nocompression - right? Because of the hardware/os
combination the TSM device driver is used - IT is a Tivoli TSM thing! No
one having the same problem?

TSM does not contain a mechanism for setting hardware parameters. (Almost
impossible with the thousands of drive/OS combinations possible!) It sounds
like a bug in the tape driver.
