Before you change the parameters for ontape, perform a level-0 backup, as explained in Performing a Backup.

Changing Backup-Tape Parameters

To change the value of TAPEDEV, TAPEBLK, and TAPESIZE from the command line, use a text editor to edit your ONCONFIG file. Save the file. Most change takes effect immediately. However, if you set TAPEDEV to or from dev/null, you must restart the database server for the setting to take effect. You also can change these parameters in ISA.
