Virtual TapeServer 6.04.05 for NonStop Servers Release Notes

Known Issues | 25
 Key database restore fails if an IP address is used instead of a hostname. If a key
database was backed up and an IP address was specified, restoring the backup fails.
(TL-4033)
WORKAROUND: Restore the backup using these steps:
a. Delete the IP address entry.
b. Add a new entry for the same backup host but use a hostname instead of IP address.
(If DNS is not used, add an entry to /etc/hosts). A different backup file name must be
used or the previous backup will be overwritten.
c. After the backup server entry has been added and the system has successfully backed
up to that server, copy the original key backup filename that is to be restored to the
new backup filename.
d. Click the restore icon to complete the restore.
 If invalid license key is used, SecureVTS appears to be configured though it is
not. If an invalid license key is used, no key generator is created. The server should
indicate that the license key is not valid. (TL-3549)
 Encryption key backup must occur before you can add a remote host. Until the
encryption key is backed up, the remote host cannot be set. (TL-3463)
 Pool is shown as encrypted though encryption failed. If no key generator is
configured and you set a pool to be encrypted, the operation will fail but the Pool
Maintenance and Virtual Media pages indicate that the pool is encrypted. (TL-3756)
 SecureVTS with remote key generator does not encrypt cartridges. If SecureVTS
is configured to use a remote key generator, the local host cannot encrypt cartridges.
(TL-3171)
WORKAROUND: Backup the remote keyserver database, delete the “localhost”
keyserver on the remote server, re-add the localhost keyserver on the remote server,
restore the keyserver database from backup.
 SecureVTS cannot restore key database from remote server if backup file name
contains a period. When trying to restore from a remote host, an error message similar
to the following is generated if the backup file name contains a period. (TL-3168)
Unable to restore backup because remote_host does not exist in the
database.
WORKAROUND: When specifying a file to be used for the destination for a remote
backup of a key database, do not include a period in the file name. If a file with a period is
used as a backup, use the Restore from Disaster Recovery Site button rather than the
restore icon under the Action column of the table of backups when restoring the key
database.
 Error message indicates that host is not responding instead of incorrect
username if erroneous username is specified. When adding a key database backup
host, if you enter an incorrect username for a backup host, an error message is generated
that indicates that the host is not responding. The message should indicate that the
username was not allowed to connect. (TL-3165)
 Decrypting a large cartridge with an invalid key takes too long to fail. If the key
is invalid or if an incorrect path was given that did not contain the correct key, VTS
should fail more quickly. Instead, it can take up to 10 minutes before failing. There are no
warning messages indicating that this could take a while for large files. (TL-3052)
