Virtual TapeServer 6.04.05 for NonStop Servers Release Notes

Known Issues | 23
 Cannot cancel a manual mount request using the Cancel button. If you press the
Mount button to mount a cartridge then press the Cancel button instead of the OK button,
the cartridge is mounted on the VTD. The operation is not cancelled. (TL-543)
Manage Connections
 VTD names and serial numbers should not be case-sensitive. When creating VTDs,
the web interface checks the case of the specified VTD name and serial number. However,
VTD names and serial numbers are not case-sensitive on the host server. For example,
you can create VTAPE01 and vtape01 on the VTS server, but the host server only sees
VTAPE01. (TL-3212)
WORKAROUND: Do not specify VTD names or serial numbers that have the same
combination of letters, no matter the case.
 Cannot edit VTD named “0”. If you create a VTD named “0”, you cannot edit the VTD,
though you can delete it. The following error message is displayed. (TL-3721)
The name 0 is already in use by virtual 0 51314695
 PTLI reservation is unclear and may cause error. If you change a port from physical
to virtual mode, an error is displayed if you attempt to create a virtual device on the port
where that physical drive was connected. The reservation of the PTLI is a feature, but the
reason for it may not be clear and the method to clear it up is not indicated by the error
message. (TL-5946)
WORKAROUND: Delete the PTLI using the Advanced link on the Manage Connections
page.
 Cannot modify target ID of Fibre Channel VTD on Manage Connections page.
You cannot modify a Fibre Channel VTD's target ID. (TL-5975)
WORKAROUND: Delete the VTD and re-add it with new target ID.
 Manage Connections page does not select available values when creating VTDs.
If you attempt to create a VTD after other VTDs have been created, the Manage
Connections page does not automatically select available values for the LUN and target.
If you do not change the values, the creation will fail. (TL-3491)
WORKAROUND: Modify the LUNs to unused LUNs, modify the target, and then save.
Then, change the LUNs back to the original LUNs.
Access Control
 Change Group option not available after adding new user and group. After
adding a new user and group, you must deselect the new user in the Users drop-down list
and then select it again to get the “Change Group” option to appear. (TL-3278)
 Certain Access Control settings cause each update cycle to prompt for a
password. If Access Control for operations is set to one of the following, the web interface
prompts for a password three times every time a page refreshes: 'BASIC access', 'Vault
Access', 'Access to All Vaults', 'View System Status', 'Change Refresh Rate', 'Stop and
Start Tapeserver'. The dialog can be cancelled (and works correctly), but it will prompt
again on the next update cycle. (TL-1920)
WORKAROUND: Lengthen the browser’s refresh cycle to minimize the impact of this
issue.
