General operations
 Writing to VTD fails if you attempt to create a VTD on same bus. If data is being
written to a VTD and you attempt to create a VTD on the same bus, writing fails with this
error: Cannot write: Input/output error (TL-4464)
 Mode page response to compression is enabled by default. This setting is enabled
by default and static for each emulation. However, compression may be turned off in the
configuration file, but the SCSI response to the mode sense request indicates that
compression is on. The current setting should be reported. (TL-4141)
 Import fails if virtual tape meets pool cartridge quota when it is exported. If a
quota size is set for a pool and you export a virtual tape in the pool that meets that quota,
imports will fail if the cartridge is the maximum size allowed. If the cartridge is not full,
imports work fine. (TL-4046)
 Incorrect response from Ultrium 1 drive causes import and/or export to fail. A
physically connected HP Ultrium 1 drive fails to allow a rewind when the medium
removal is prevented by SCSI command. (TL-4035)
 Exporting a pool using a 5190 tape drive fails. The following error message is
generated. (TL-4073)

 Ownership of files is changed if encryption software is run by root. If a program
that uses encryption software is run by the root account, ownership of critical files is
changed, which will prevent programs from running correctly under normal user
authority. The programs that must not be started as root include the following:
• ems_master.pl
• ems_mounts.pl
• ems_send.pl
• ems_telnet.pl
•hsmdelete.pl
•hsmget.pl
•hsmput.pl
• vtsisc_cancel.pl
• vtsisc_mount.pl
• vtsisc_unmount.pl
• vts_scratch_erase.pl
The most common symptom of this problem is that VTS will not be able to log into a host
server. Log messages may make it appear as if a password has not been set, though it has
been set since encrypted passwords cannot be decrypted. (TL-3377)
To determine if the problem is present, execute the following as root or bill and verify that
one or more files is owned by root: ls -l /home/bill/.gnupg
WORKAROUND: To correct the problem, execute the following command as root:
chown bill.bill /home/bill/.gnupg/*
