Virtual TapeServer 6.04.05 for NonStop Servers Release Notes

Resolved Issues and Enhancements | 11
Web interface
 Version column showed the marker version of the cartridge prior to 6.04.03. If
the metadata isn't available, a hyphen will be shown in this field. With the 6.04.03
release, it always shows a hyphen for this information even when the metadata is
available. 6.04.05 correctly displays the information when the metadata information is
available. Note: The proper values for this field are:
• hyphen only for those cartridges that are only 2MB (not yet mounted and have all the
metadata added) or when the metadata is not available
• 2 for cartridges that have block markers turned off
• 3 for cartridges that have the block markers turned on
(TL-5299, EAR 6918)
 Debug message for an import job was displayed in the web interface. When
attempting to import a pool from physical tape, the following message was displayed:
is_cart_available: Cannot find vault: for cart:BIRDS2
However, the import was successful. This message was a debug message indicating that
VTS was checking if the cartridge that was being imported exists. This message was
always the very first line in the activity log that was displayed in the web interface for an
import or export. This has been fixed. (TL-3948)
Data Encryption (SecureVTS)
 No indication that configuration was incomplete and encryption/decryption
failed. If no remote key generator backup host was defined and working, encryption or
decryption may have failed with no indication other than rc=254 or rc=-2 in a log. The
keys were not cached until a remote host was defined. Encryption and decryption was not
possible until a remote backup host was defined. Now, the encryption or decryption will
fail with an indication. (TL-3686)
Native export
 Native export indicated tape drive was free when a virtual tape was being
exported. When performing an export from the Virtual Media - Operation page, the
export page indicated that a tape drive was free to use while it was still exporting. This
may have allowed the tape drive to be selected for another operation, but the new export
would fail. Now, the page indicates “Selected tape device no longer available!” (TL-5291,
EAR 6914)
Migration
 VTS processing of a NetBackup archive may not have correctly identified the
media ID (barcode) upon completion. The method used to identify the media ID has
been corrected. (TL-5340, EAR 7075)
 migrate_all parameter did not work for export. If the migrate_all parameter was
set, cartridges were migrated but not exported. This has been fixed. (TL-3954)
