Hello Dave,
Thank's for your answer, indeed it's not possible and IBM won't update and
adjust the blksize according the dataset size without a RFE (request for
enhancement)
regards
Alain

Objet : Re: blksize for ML2 migrated dataset via HSM
Hi Alain,
It is not currently possible to change the 16k blksize on Hsm migration or
backup tapes.
Regards
Dave

Hello,
Thank's for your update, but do you an idea to change the value, just because
I'm sure that the default value is not use Regards

Hello,
The Datamover parameter of DSS or HSM only applies to Control dataset backups
and is not for general usage.
Hsm has used a 16k blocksize for backup and migration tapes since inception,
possibly because originally it was a good performance match for the specs of
existing 3420 "polo" tape drives and the upcoming 3480 "cartridge" tape drives.
(People who read the announcment specs in the early 80's feel free to dive in!)
Well overdue for an update.
Dumps however are straight dfdss and depending on what Z/os release you are on,
the blksize will be the default of 256K (Zos 1.12 up) or 64K (Zos 1.11 down) or
even 32k if you use the patch!
While we are at it, an ML3 level for long term archive datasets (greater than 5
years say) would be good to split them out from all the other stuff on ML2.
regards,
Dave

Hello, I observed a blksize of 16k for all ml2 migrated dataset (seen on the
CA1 product). I use DSS as datamover and i'm wondering about the size
concerning the blksize. Why dss don't use 256k since zos 1.12 ?
Everybody will have an answer. thank's
