Virtual TapeServer 6.04.05 for NonStop Servers Release Notes

Troubleshooting | 38
 Error message displayed on console after the server is booted for the first time.
Messages similar to the following are displayed on the console the first time VTS is
booted:
Mounting other filesystems: [ OK ]
Starting hp-ilo:/opt/hp/hp-ilo/drivers/char/hp_ilo/CpqCiKlx.c: In
functionoctl32_handler':
/opt/hp/hp-ilo/drivers/char/hp_ilo/CpqCiKlx.c:680: warning:
assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
/opt/hp/hp-ilo/drivers/char/hp_ilo/CpqCiKlx.c:796: warning: cast from
pointer to integer of different size
/opt/hp/hp-ilo/drivers/char/hp_ilo/CpqCiKlx.c:796: warning: cast from

...
These messages can be ignored. (TL-2079)
 The “mount /dev/cdrom” command no longer works because CD media is
handled differently. The new VTS operating system (CentOS 5.2) handles removable
media mounting differently than in previous releases. Removable media is automounted
on /media through the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) without entries in /etc/fstab in
much the same manner as removable media in Windows XP. From the console, however,
media is not automounted. (TL-1755)
 Linux kernel error message logged to /var/log/messages. Messages similar to the
following are logged to /var/log/messages:
Jul 10 16:23:23 localhost kernel: Contact your BIOS vendor to see if
the E752x error registers can be safely un-hidden
This is caused by a known Linux kernel driver issue for CentOS 5.2 and does not hinder
system operation. Ignore these messages. (TL-1853)
 Must use the rewinding name of a drive for import_export_drive_exclude
parameter in vts.conf. When specifying devices to be excluded from imports or exports
using the import_export_drive_exclude parameter in vts.conf, be sure to use the
rewinding name of the drive rather than the non-rewinding name. That is, use '/dev/st0',
not '/dev/nst0'. (TL-1962)
Web interface
 TapeServer and EMS service can be stopped and started by user who is not
logged in. If the user did not log in on an open system, the user can access the
TapeServer and EMS links on the Supervisory Functions page. (TL-3440)
 Logging in to web interface on localhost does not redirect to secure page. When
accessing the web interface from the localhost, HTTPS is not needed because data is not
transmitted. (TL-3643)
 Browser may display old data or errors if not refreshed. If an unexpected error
occurs or data appears to be old, refresh the browser. Old data is cached and may need to
be cleared. (TL-1662)
 A - is displayed for a cartridge limit for old cartridges. Cartridges that existed
before VTS was upgraded to 6.04.01 will display a - for the limit, but all new cartridges
will display 2TB if not given a limit. When the old cartridge is loaded writable, the size
limit will be updated to be writable, and the size limit will be updated to 2TB. (TL-2173)
