Virtual TapeServer 6.04.02 for NonStop Servers Release Notes

Known Issues | 24
Utilities
 Must reboot after disabling auditd logging. After you disable auditd logging, the
auditd service stops but due to a kernel defect, the output is directed to the console and /
var/log/messages. (TL-2465, EAR 4787)
WORKAROUND: Reboot after disabling auditd logging (chkconfig auditd off).
 Message logged to console and /var/log/messages until iLO is configured. Until
HP-iLO is configured, the following message may continue to print the following message:
INIT: Id "s1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
The message is also logged to /var/log/messages with no other information. (TL-2279)
Installation, upgrades, updates, and restore
 Downgrade fails if GRUB is not manually installed. If you downgrade from 6.04.02
using the Revert VTS Revision Update link on the VTS web interface and reboot
immediately after downgrading, VTS may hang with “GRUB” displayed on the screen.
(TL-3189)
WORKAROUND: To avoid this problem, perform the downgrade as documented in the
Virtual TapeServer Operations and Administration Guide. If this problem does occur,
perform the following steps to correctly downgrade the server:
a. Boot VTS using the 6.04.01 or 6.04.02 Install and Rescue DVD.
b. Select rescue at the boot prompt.
c. When prompted to start the network interfaces, select No.
d. Select Continue when prompted to mount the Linux installation.
e. Press ENTER (or select OK) when prompted after the drives are mounted.
f. Issue the following commands to find the boot device:
chroot /mnt/sysimage
grep boot= /boot/grub/grub.conf
Note the device returned by the grep command (/dev/cciss/c0d0, /dev/sda/, and so on).
g. Install GRUB on the device. /dev/cciss/c0d0 is used in this example:
grub-install /dev/cciss/c0d0
h. Exit the chroot environment and reboot by issuing these commands:
exit
reboot
 Upgrade process does not ensure all processes are shut down. The upgrade may
not shut down all processes before starting. (TL-3196)
WORKAROUND: Shut down processes before upgrading, on the Supervisory Functions
page.
 Restore fails if restore image contains a copy of the MACHINEID file. If there are
multiple copies of the /boot/MACHINEID file on the system, the restore image will be
unusable. Only one instance of this file should exist on a system and it should not be
copied to another system. (TL-3188)
