Virtual TapeServer 6.04.03.02 for NonStop Servers Release Notes

Known Issues | 23
 Unmounted vaults may cause a key database restore to fail. If a vault is not
mounted, it may cause a key database restore to fail. (TL-951)
WORKAROUND: Remove the backup host and force a backup with the Backup to All
button. Then, restore using the Restore From Disaster Recovery button. After the restore
is successful, re-add the backup host.
 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
 Retention time is not displayed correctly on Scan/Cleanup page. Retention is
shown in weeks until retention time exceeds a year, then it is shown in years. Time is
stored as a number of seconds but incorrectly converted for display. (TL-2629)
 Scan/Cleanup page performance is slow. Loading the Scan/Cleanup page is slow if a
large number of cartridges exists. It takes about a minute for a pool containing 1,000
cartridges. (TL-2358)
 The Written metadata date option on the Scan/Cleanup page displays Never
instead of the correct date/time. On the Meta Data Control Panel on the Scan/
Cleanup page, the Written metadata option displays Never instead of the correct date/
time if you change the cartridge size or write to a cartridge. (TL-264)
