Virtual TapeServer 6.04.04 for NonStop Servers Release Notes

Known Issues | 31
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)
 Scan/Cleanup is not enabled though the web interface indicates that it is.
scanat.log includes the “Scan/cleanup configuration error - auto erase not enabled.”
message, but the web interface shows that auto erase is enabled, and Scan/Cleanup did
not run. (TL-3702)
WORKAROUND: If necessary, enable and configure Scan/Cleanup as described in the
Installation Guide.
 Cartridges are not erased when expected if cleanup_autoerase is configured.
Scheduled erasures do not occur when scheduled, though they are eventually erased.
(TL-2388)
 Scan/Cleanup page size column reports size on disk of cartridges rather than
data size. The size column on the Scan/Cleanup page shows the file size on disk. Thus,
cartridge data is different on this page than on other pages in the web interface. (TL-2158)
 Scan/Cleanup menu option may not be available. Customers using the Scan/
Cleanup feature should confirm that the VTS configuration file contains the
