Change (add) blocksize to 256K for backup NDMP for HNAS to Tape

Hello,
We were faced with the slow speed of data backup via NDMP protocol from Hitachi NAS device.

Hitachi said that our backup speed through IBM Spectrum Protect 8.1.9 will increase 3 times if you Add and make a choice
the block size during backup.
The target block size is required 256K.

We ask you to try to deal with our problem as soon as possible, we really hope for you. We need a 256K block size for the HNAS backup to the tape library via the NDMP protocol.

Please give feedback.
