dev/rmt 0.1 block size is 0; variable; must be 1024 fixed.

Hi.
After the shutdown for SWIFT Alliance Server, tape backup process will be done. Unfortunately, I encountered this error message when I performed the database tape backup. The error was "/dev/rmt 0.1 block size is 0; variable; must be 1024 fixed. Consider reconfiguration through 'chdev' command" . Would like to know the possible cause of this problem and how to solve it.

By the way, previous day backup process, before this error, I completely done the database tape backup. Then, I accidentally overwritten tape to backup it for JFS. I waited to complete process and tried to overwrite again the tape for database. The next day backup processing, I used a new tape to perform curretn database backup. But, I was prompted with this error. Would this be the possible cause for this error message?

Would appreciate you prompt assistance. Thank you.
