Solving block-size compatibility problems

NOTE:It is also possible to solve problems with block-size compatibility by changing the block size for an entire device type. The change, however, must be made on each storage node where it is to be available. Once the block size is changed, it affects only those volumes that are labeled after the change. Volumes can be relabeled to use the new block size, but if they contain data that should be saved, be sure to clone the data beforehand to a volume that already uses the new block size.
  1. In the server’s NetWorker Administration interface, click Devices.
  2. Select View > Diagnostic Mode on the menu bar.
  3. Open the Libraries folder in the navigation tree and select the drive that contains the mounted volume with the block size being checked. The drive’s detail table appears.
  4. Right-click the drive in the detail table, and select Properties. The Properties window appears.
  5. Select the Advanced tab. In the Device Configuration area, the currently configured Device Block Size value is displayed.
  6. Select the appropriate Device Block Size value.
  7. Click OK.
