Virtual TapeServer 6.04.04 for NonStop Servers Release Notes

Resolved Issues and Enhancements | 13
 SCSI commands timed out for MODE_SELECT, TUR, and WRITE_FILEMARKS.
VTS flushed its cache causing delayed responses to the SCSI commands sent by the host
server. The amount of memory used for disk write caching has now been tuned and this
problem no longer occurs. (TL-4207, EAR 6223)
 Physical devices now automatically created when connected. A new device type is
now listed on the Manage Connections page when physical device is connected to VTS.
“auto-” precedes the name of new device emulation to indicate that it was automatically
created when the new physical device was attached. (TL-3797)
 Check condition now returned for non-existent or unsupported pages. A mode
sense command for a page that does not exist or is not supported by the device emulation
now returns a check condition. Previously, VTS was returning all pages supported,
causing the host to be confused and interpret the emulation as something other than the
device type. (TL-3820, TL-3657)
 Error logged to /var/log/httpd/error_log when a cartridge was mounted. When
mounting a cartridge, an error similar to the following was logged in /var/log/httpd/
error_log:
vtmeta: Error /VAULT00/POOL1/CART1: Unable to lock file.
This was a logging issue only and no longer occurs. (TL-2453)
Web interface
This section has been subdivided to better classify the issues.
General
 Virtual tape details could not be displayed. Under certain situations, the virtual
tape detail pop-up window on the Virtual Media page could not be displayed because the
hostname used to form the URL was incorrect. This has been fixed. (TL-4538, EAR 6300)
 Factory Setup pages removed. The web interface no longer provides a Factory Setup
menu on the navigation pane. The functionality provided by those pages has been moved
to the Supervisory Functions and Manage Connections pages. (TL-4734)
 Manage System Limits page has been removed. To configure FC and SCSI ports for
virtual devices, use the Manage Port Configuration section of the Manage Connections
page. Refer to the online help on the Manage Connections page for more information. (TL-
4222)
 Virtual Media page could not be accessed when TapeServer was stopped. The
spinning icon was displayed but the page never loaded. This has been fixed. (TL-4525)
 size(MB) column displayed incorrect size on Virtual Media - Operation page. The
size(MB) column listed on the Virtual Media - Operation page provided an estimate for
speed. It could display a value that was twice as large due to actual host block size used.
This has been fixed. (TL-4520)
