ANR8939E
The adapter for tape drive drive name cannot handle the block size needed to use the volume.

Explanation

The adapter cannot read and write the block size need for the volume because the MAXIMUMSGLIST parameter of the adapter is set to less than hex 41.

System action

The volume will not be mounted in the drive.

User response

The adapter must be updated to handle a larger block size. The setting is usually MAXIMUMSGLIST in the Windows registry under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SYSTEM->Current Control Set->Services->{vendor device name}->Parameters->Device

Note that "{vendor device name}" should be substituted with the name of the vendors device. For example, the Qlogic 2200 would use "Ql2200" for the respective vendor device name.

MAXIMUMSGLIST should be set to hex 41 to work properly with Tivoli® Storage Manager.

You can also run the DSMMAXSG utility to set the MaximumSGList value to 0x41(65) for all HBAs.

For additional information, see the HBA documentation or contact the vendor for the HBA.
