Error description

  • Starting with 12.10.xC5, even with TAPESIZE / LTAPESIZE not set
    to 0,
    you get the following error message when trying to backup
    remotely:
    
    Combination of remote TAPEDEV and TAPESIZE 0 is not allowed.
    or
    Combination of remote LTAPEDEV and LTAPESIZE 0 is not allowed.
    
    This applies to both storage space and logical log backups,
    if you specified a remote location for your onconfig parameter
    TAPEDEV / LTAPEDEV.
    

Local fix

  • A possible workaround for storage space backups is to specify
    the -t option with the ontape command,
    while setting TAPEDEV to a non remote location in the ONCONFIG.
