Virtual TapeServer 6.04.03.02 for NonStop Servers Release Notes

Known Issues | 20
 No indication that configuration is incomplete and encryption/decryption will
fail. If no remote key generator backup host is defined and working, encryption or
decryption may fail with no indication other than rc=254 or rc=-2 in a log. The keys are
not cached until a remote host is defined. Encryption and decryption is not possible until a
remote backup host is defined. (TL-3686)
 SecureVTS with remote key generator does not encrypt cartridges. If SecureVTS
is configured to use a remote key generator, the local host cannot encrypt cartridges. (TL-
3171)
WORKAROUND: Backup the remote keyserver database, delete the “localhost”
keyserver on the remote server, re-add the localhost keyserver on the remote server,
restore the keyserver database from backup.
 SecureVTS cannot restore key database from remote server if backup file name
contains a period. When trying to restore from a remote host, an error message similar
to the following is generated if the backup file name contains a period. (TL-3168)
Unable to restore backup because remote_host does not exist in the
database.
WORKAROUND: When specifying a file to be used for the destination for a remote
backup of a key database, do not include a period in the file name. If a file with a period is
used as a backup, use the Restore from Disaster Recovery Site button rather than the
restore icon under the Action column of the table of backups when restoring the key
database.
 Error message indicates that host is not responding instead of incorrect
username if erroneous username is specified. When adding a key database backup
host, if you enter an incorrect username for a backup host, an error message is generated
that indicates that the host is not responding. The message should indicate that the
username was not allowed to connect. (TL-3165)
 Decrypting a large cartridge with an invalid key takes too long to fail. If the key
is invalid or if an incorrect path was given that did not contain the correct key, VTS
should fail more quickly. Instead, it can take up to 10 minutes before failing. There are no
warning messages indicating that this could take a while for large files. (TL-3052)
 Creating cartridges in an encrypted pool when SecureVTS is not running
generated confusing message. If SecureVTS is not running and you attempt to create
cartridges in an encrypted pool, messages similar to the following are displayed. (TL-
3048)
Created 0 of 10 in P17 of size 2T successfully: Cartridge BBB000 in
P17 failed encryption rc=254
 Restoring corrupt key database succeeds when it should not. If you “Restore from
Disaster Recovery Site” and select a corrupt key database file, the file is restored
successfully with no error. (TL-3005)
 Incorrect error message displayed when restoring key database with incorrect
file permissions. If the file permissions are incorrectly set for the key database file, the
web interface will display “Unable to restore backup because login credentials are
incorrect” if you attempt to restore the file. (TL-3001)
 Errors are logged to encry_key.log during exports and uploads. During exports
and uploads, messages similar to the following are logged to encry_key.log:
Fri Mar 6 08:51:59 2009 [6632]: Error: missing device specification!
These log messages can be ignored. (TL-2772)
