System restore
 System restore image may have had duplicate database entries. Applying a
system restore image may have added duplicate database entries, causing the system to
malfunction. This has been fixed. (TL-4003)
Utilities and services
 HP System Insight Manager has been upgraded to version 6.3. HP SIM version
6.3.0.22 is now used on installed systems and upgraded systems. Also, the HP SIM
software is no longer available on the VTS installation media. It is now maintained on a
separate DVD. To install/upgrade HP SIM, mount the DVD and run the
installHPTools.bash script. (TL-4691)
 Filesystem checks are now performed every six months. Previously, no routine
filesystem checks were scheduled on the /, /boot, and /VAULT00 partitions. Now, routine
filesystem checks are performed on the /, /boot, and /VAULT00 partitions every 6 months.
(TL-6252, TL-6046)
 Troubleshooting package was over 1GB. Previously, it may have taken a long time to
generate the troubleshooting package and download it because its large size. Now, the
directories used to apply patches is no longer included in the package, which results in a
smaller package that can be generated and downloaded more easily. (TL-6472)
 getVTS_dbginfo included default host information, not /etc/hosts information.
Now, this utility gather the files from the appropriate /etc location as well as the original
default values for comparison. Also, /DATA directories are gathered. (TL-6784, EAR 7847)
 Tape library initialization message seen even if no physical tape library was
connected to appliance. The utility (tape_lib_init.rb) runs during VTS startup. This
resulted in the following message displayed on the VTS console if no library was
connected. This has been fixed. (TL-6092)
Starting Tape Library Initialization for Native Export: [FAILED]
Documentation and help
 Using HP SIM to monitor MSA2000s and P2000s is now documented. To monitor
MSA2000 and P2000 storage arrays using HP SIM, you must install and configure SIM
on a system other than VTS. This is documented in the Troubleshooting chapter of the
Configuration Guide. (TL-5239)
 Hardware clock setting was not documented. When deploying the server for the first
time, you must run the hwclock command in addition to the date command. This is now
described in the Quick Start Guide. (TL-6188)
 Quick Search text box in help was misleading. The Quick Search text box only
searched the currently displayed page, though it could be mistaken for a help system-wide
search. The text box has been removed. (TL-5932)
 Help Set displayed over main web interface page. The Help Set (available on the
About page in the Product Documentation section) opened in the main web frame,
rendering it unusable. This has been fixed. (TL-5925)
