Virtual TapeServer 6.04.03.02 for NonStop Servers Release Notes

Troubleshooting | 32
Web interface
 Logging in to web interface on localhost does not redirect to secure page. When
accessing the web interface from the localhost, HTTPS is not needed because data is not
transmitted. (TL-3643)
 Browser may display old data or errors if not refreshed. If an unexpected error
occurs or data appears to be old, refresh the browser. Old data is cached and may need to
be cleared. (TL-1662)
 Apache servers are prone to cross-site scripting weakness. VTS uses version 2.2.3
of the Apache server, which is vulnerable to CVE-2007-6203 under certain configurations.
However, the configuration shipped with VTS does not cause VTS to be vulnerable. For
more information, see the following URL. (TL-1985, EAR 4360)
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6203
 A - is displayed for a cartridge limit for old cartridges. Cartridges that existed
before VTS was upgraded will display a - for the limit, but all new cartridges will display
2TB if not given a limit. When the old cartridge is loaded writable, the size limit will be
updated to be writable, and the size limit will be updated to 2TB. (TL-2173)
 File size of a mounted tape being written may not be updated. If a virtual tape is
mounted and being written to, the size shown on the page may not be updated until the
tape is dismounted. Normally, this value will be updated when file marks are written to
the tape, so usually this is not an issue for most users. (TL-881)
Migration
 The 64-bit Networker 7.4 client cannot connect to the Windows 2003 64-bit
server. Networker 7.4 client running on VTS cannot be seen by Windows 2003 Server.
(TL-1836)
WORKAROUND: Install the 32-bit client.
AutoCopy
 An error message from ems_telnet.pl indicates that AutoCopy is not configured.
For AutoCopy to work as designed, manual procedures that mount a tape must end with
unmounting the tape. AutoCopy depends on receiving mount and unmount messages
through EMS to work correctly, and when a tape is manually mounted, the EMS
subsystem is unaware of this. When the manual operation is completed, the tape must be
unmounted manually. (TL-1480)
VTSPolicy
 Incremental backup backs up all cartridges. Any incremental backup backs up all
cartridges, even unchanged cartridges, within the requested file space. This problem is
due to the fact that a virtual cartridge contains user data and metadata. VTS often
updates the metadata even when the user data has not changed, causing the change time
(ctime) on the file to be updated; this is what causes the file to be backed up even if the
user data is unchanged. (TL-2155, EAR 4456)
