Known Issues | 11
General operations
 Editing a VTD without a license causes the VTD to be deleted. If the license is
removed and then you attempt to edit a VTD, the system deletes the VTD. (TL-3962)
 vtsa user cannot issue mount command. From the command line, the vtsa user
cannot issue the /bin/mount command. (TL-3981)
WORKAROUND: Log in as bill and su to root, or log in as root, to run this command.
 Ownership of files is changed if encryption software is run by root. If a program
that uses encryption software is run by the root account, ownership of critical files is
changed, which will prevent programs from running correctly under normal user
authority. The programs that must not be started as root include the following:
• ems_master.pl
• ems_mounts.pl
• ems_send.pl
• ems_telnet.pl
•hsmdelete.pl
•hsmget.pl
•hsmput.pl
• vtsisc_cancel.pl
• vtsisc_mount.pl
• vtsisc_unmount.pl
• vts_scratch_erase.pl
The most common symptom of this problem is that VTS will not be able to log into a host
server. Log messages may make it appear as if a password has not been set, though it has
been set since encrypted passwords cannot be decrypted. (TL-3377)
To determine if the problem is present, execute the following as root or bill and verify that
one or more files is owned by root:
ls -l /home/bill/.gnupg
WORKAROUND: To correct the problem, execute the following command as root:
chown bill.bill /home/bill/.gnupg/*
 Debug message for an import job is displayed in the web interface. When
attempting to import a pool from physical tape, the following message is displayed:
is_cart_available: Cannot find vault: for cart:BIRDS2
However, the import is successful. This message is a debug message indicating that VTS
is checking if the cartridge that is being imported exists. This message is always the very
first line in the activity log that is displayed in the web interface for an import or export.
(TL-3948)
WORKAROUND: Click the CLEAR LOG button.
