Virtual TapeServer 6.04.02 for NonStop Servers Release Notes

Known Issues | 23
 Device names beginning with $ result in ems_hostdevs and ems_virtdevs are not
logged. If VTS is used with an HP NonStop host and the device names begin with $, the
ems_hostdevs and ems_virtdevs values are blank in the log. This can cause confusion if
reviewing the logs. (TL-1562, EAR 4030)
AutoCopy and Instant DR
 Autocopy locks the source cartridge but not the target. The user should be able to
configure cartridge locking, with the default being that remote cartridges are locked. (TL-
2529)
 AutoCopy may create pools on a VTS server that could not otherwise be created.
AutoCopy may be used to create pools on a VTS server that could not otherwise be
created, such as having both a 'TEST' and a 'test' pool. (TL-868)
WORKAROUND: When using AutoCopy, you may need to review of all AutoCopy pools
to ensure that there are no duplicate pool names and correct for any such occurrences.
 Labeling a virtual tape in an Autocopy pool logs error messages in ems.log.
Messages similar to the following are logged when a tape in an Autocopy pool is labeled.

TANDEM.TAPE.G06 000659 : STATUS 1512 - TOOL14 TAPE DISMOUNTED FROM
DRIVE
Sat May 26 07:28:36 2007 DEV4: DISMOUNT Cartridge: TOOL14,
doAutoCopy: 2.
Sat May 26 07:28:36 2007 DEV4: ems_telnet.AUTOCOPY Error
autocopy_Host for TOOL14 is not configured.
The tape is mounted and dismounted during labeling, which causes AutoCopy to copy the
tape to the backup system. AutoCopy should copy a tape to the backup system only when
a tape is used, not labeled. (TL-405)
 Online help incorrectly describes the All Files option. In the online help provided
on the Instant DR page, the All Files option is described as follows:
“This option pertains to the use of wildcards in the source cartridge name. If All Files is
not checked, then only the most recently modified file in the set of cartridges identified
with the wildcard will be backed up. Checking All Files bypasses this selection process
and causes all of the wildcard identified files to be backed up.”
The description should read as follows:
“Select the All Files checkbox if you want to send all the files listed in the job to the
remote system. If you do not select this checkbox, only the newest virtual tape
(determined by the timestamp) is transmitted.” (TL-369)
GFS
 Pool Maintenance page loads slowly in a GFS environment. When you display the
Pool Maintenance page in a GFS environment, the page gathers all of the file system
statistics using the df command. On a busy GFS system or cluster that is fencing, df
hangs. (TL-434)
