Virtual TapeServer 6.04.03.02 for NonStop Servers Release Notes

Known Issues | 14
 No activity or a “hung” command occurs when an import request is issued to a
physical drive that is unavailable. If a physical drive is unavailable (powered off,
cable disconnected, and so on), VTS does not properly handle the error and a timeout does
not occur, causing VTS to hang and require a reboot. (TL-61)
Web interface
This section has been subdivided to better classify the issues.
General
 Virtual Media page cannot be accessed when TapeServer is stopped. The
spinning icon is displayed but the page never loads. (TL-4525)
 Activity log on Import/Export page is not in chronological order. The log
messages are listed in random order. (TL-4391)
 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)
 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.
 Cannot cancel pending mounts. The web interface indicates “Cancelled 0 pending
mounts” but pending mounts are re-queued and given new reqnums every six seconds.
The clearmount process attempts to match the reqnum of the pending mount. If they
match, the pending mount is cancelled. If they do not match, the pending mount is not
cancelled, as indicated by this message in the interface and log: “Error: clearmount found
no match in mount queue for reqnum 000000663”. (TL-3304)
WORKAROUND: Cancel the pending mount within six seconds of the page or refresh the
web interface and then cancel.
 Tape can be mounted in deleted VTD and the tape remains locked. If you delete a
VTD, VTS still allows you to mount a virtual tape in the deleted VTD. No data is lost but
the tape is locked. This occurs if multiple windows are used and actions are performed in
one window and affect the actions taken in the other. (TL-3156)
WORKAROUND: Remove the lock using the Mounts and Locks page.
 Date and time shown for locked cartridges is incorrect. The timestamp used for the
date and time when a cartridge is locked is incorrect. (TL-2551)
 Virtual tape appears to be created in a locked pool but is not. If you attempt to
create a virtual tape in a pool that is locked, the operation fails even though the
“Successfully created” message is displayed. (TL-1903, EAR 4286)
 Expanding a pool with a large number of cartridges takes a long time. Trying to
expand a pool with a large number of cartridges, such as 10,000, takes 4-5 minutes. (TL-
515)
