You must set this option higher than 0x41 (I prefer 0xFF) on *any* machine
accessing tape over SAN - be it TSM server, TSM Storage Agent, or any
other product.
Afterwards you must perform the backup *again* - some times with low
maximumsglist setting the data is reported to be written but is not
completely. Thus your backup might be not restoreable.

Subject: maximumsglist - lanfree
Hi
Well the quest for lan free backups continues....
I got past my initial problems by upgrading storage agent to 5.1.5.4 (same
level as server)
Yesterday I managed to run an image backup lan free, 150Gb in 1hr 15
minutes
so was quite happy with that. However when I went to restore it 5 minutes
later it failed and the server actlog gave me
10/29/2003 16:39:39 ANR8939E The adapter for tape drive DRIVE2WWPK
(mt1.0.0.5)
cannot handle the block size needed to
use
the volume.
I then tried another image backup and it failed with the same error.
During
the time of the image backup working then stopping working nothing had
changed.
I believe the above error is to do with the registry entry for
maximumsglist. On the storage agent client I have had maximumsglist set
to
FF for a while.
My question is do I need to set the same registry key on the TSM Server
itself?
If not then what else can be causing this
TIA
