Error description
TAPESIZE Configuration Parameter is described in Administrator's Reference as below. TAPESIZE Configuration Parameter onconfig.std value 0 units Kilobytes range of values 0 through 2,097,151 But when we define much more size like 10240000, that means 10 GB, the instance is started successfully. And when we backup DBS larger than 10240000 KB by ontape, ontape displays the prompt message for the next mount and continue working after mounting a new media. It shows the description in Administrator's Reference is wrong. It should be corrected and we would like to know the exact maximum value. LTAPESIZE is same.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * All users of version 11.50xC8 and earlier versions * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * For the LTAPESIZE and TAPESIZE configuration parameters, * * the documentation showed the range of values as 0 through * * 2,097,151. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * When you enter a LTAPESIZE or TAPESIZE value, specify 0 or * * any positive number. * ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
The correct range of values for the TAPESIZE and the LTAPESIZE configuration parameters is 0 or any positive number. The real value is operating-system dependent. (TAPESIZE specifies the size of the device to which ontape backs up storage spaces. LTAPESIZE specifies the maximum tape size of the device to which the logical logs are backed up when you use ontape for backups.)
