Specify Tape Parameters
If you do not specify any tape parameter options, tbload uses the archive
tape parameters by default. The tape device to which data is sent is assumed
to be the device specified as TAPEDEV. The block size and tape size are
assumed to be the values specified as TAPEBLK and TAPESIZE, respectively.
To specify other parameter values, see the next section.
Specify Tape Parameters
You can use the -b, -s, and -t options individually to override the default
archive tape device parameters.
You can use the -b, -s, and -t options with the -l option to override individual
logical log device parameters.
To specify a remote tape device, use the following syntax:
host_machine_name:tape_device_pathname
-b blocksize specifies in kilobytes the block size of the tape device.
-l directs tbload to read the values for tape device, block size,
and tape size from the logical log backup device parameters
(LTAPEDEV, LTAPEBLK, and LTAPESIZE, respectively).
-s tapesize specifies in kilobytes the amount of data that can be stored on
the tape.
-t device names the pathname of the tape device where the input tape is
mounted.
