Virtual TapeServer 6.04.02.01 for NonStop Servers Release Notes

Known Issues | 17
 A corrupt key database backup can be propagated to all key database backup
hosts. If a key database backup is corrupted, the corrupt backup can be propagated to all
key database backup hosts. (TL-941)
WORKAROUND: Archive key database backups on a regular basis. Store archives
outside of the VTS environment to ensure that you can return to a working copy of the key
database in the unlikely event that the copy in use becomes corrupted.
 The ks_backup.log file may contain DOS line terminations. Some lines in the
ks_backup.log file contain DOS line terminations, which may appear as ^M if viewed with
certain editors. (TL-930)
VTSPolicy commands
 Q_INC and Q_DIFF variables used in the CommVault VTSPolicy backup all
cartridges. Q_INC and Q_DIFF variables used in the CommVault VTSPolicy should
backup the changed cartridges since the last backup. Instead, all cartridges all in the pool
are backed up. (TL-2770)
 VTSPolicy BEX Erase is ignored. The Erase parameter of the VTSPolicy BEX
command is not functioning and, if included, is ignored. (TL-2363)
WORKAROUND: Issue the VTSPolicy ERASE command after the VTSPolicy BEX
command. Here are examples:
VTSPolicy BEX 'backup_base /VAULT01/POOLA/CART01 s=VTS01 ERASE=YES'
VTSPolicy ERASE s=VTS01 CART01
 VTSPolicy TSM Archive command for a vault results in an error message.
Issuing a VTSPolicy TSM Archive command for a vault will fail to back up the vault. An
error message such as “Error: /VAULT00 not on this system” will be written to the VTS
log. (TL-221)
WORKAROUND: A vault may be backed up by issuing VTSPolicy TSM Archive
commands for the individual pools or cartridges in the vault.
Scan/Cleanup
 Cartridges are not erased when expected if cleanup_autoerase is configured.
Scheduled erasures do not occur when scheduled, though they are eventually erased. (TL-
2388)
 If cleanup_minimum_size_GB and cleanup_minimum_size_MB are not
configured for Scan/Cleanup, cartridges may be erroneously erased. If you
specify 0 for either of these parameters, all files can be erased. (TL-3050)
 Scan/Cleanup page size column reports size on disk of cartridges rather than
data size. The size column on the Scan/Cleanup page shows the file size on disk. Thus,
cartridge data is different on this page than on other pages in the web interface. (TL-2158)
 Scan/Cleanup menu option may not be available. Customers using the Scan/
Cleanup feature should confirm that the VTS configuration file contains the
menu_ScanCleanup=”YES” parameter, which displays the scan/cleanup option from
the window drop-down list on the Virtual Media page (TL-505).
WORKAROUND: Add this line to the VTS configuration file. To edit the VTS
configuration file, click Supervisor Functions on the navigation pane, and then click
Edit VTS Configuration File under the Utilities section of the resulting page.
