(errno=-1).
These messages are benign and can be ignored. (TL-2347)
 The hsm_summary_limit configuration parameter is not used. This parameter
should not be used. (TL-2272)
 Unable to unmigrate a pool. You cannot unmigrate the cartridges in a pool by selecting
the pool; you must select individual cartridges. (TL-386)
EMS
 Supervisory Functions page shows EMS started when it did not. If EMS could not
be started, the System Status page indicates that it is not running while the Supervisory
Functions page shows EMS as started. (TL-3788)
 Cannot edit or delete host pair after adding and deleting multiple host pairs. On
the EMS Configuration page, if you add or delete multiple host devices (in the EMS Hosts
section of the page) without saving, you may be unable to edit or delete a host device. (TL-
3190)
WORKAROUND: Save the EMS configuration and reload the page.
 Enable Keep Alive and Enable Host Notifications must be selected to enable
keep-alive messaging. You must enable both options to enable EMS keep-alive
messages. (TL-3152)
 Tapes are mounted as “tape not write enabled”. In rare cases, tapes are mounted by
EMS but the tape is not write enabled. The backup hangs until the tape is unmounted
and remounted. (TL-3147)
 When mounting a cartridge over another using the web interface, the second
does not get mounted if the first cartridge is already dismounted. The web
interface may not always be accurate in the state of the tapes in the tape drive. (TL-1752)
WORKAROUND: Refresh the interface and try again.
 IPv6 localhost address listed in log messages. Here is an example of the log message:
