Virtual TapeServer 8.0 Release Notes

Known Issues | 23
 Replacing source system on target does not rename files and database records.
When a source system is renamed on a target system because of a serial number
replacement, all data associated with the original system must be renamed or replaced
and permissions adjusted. Contact Support if this condition comes up. (TL-5806)
 Serial number or replacement system is incorrect after VPD replacement. Target
replication system should show new serial number for the source system, which was
replaced. However, the serial number is not updated. (TL-5757)
 Error displayed on boot up after configuring external storage. An may error occur
on bootup after configuring external storage vaults: ioctl32(cmaidad:7855): Unknown cmd
fd(6) cmd(c054420b){00} arg(ffdf4690) on /dev/sg0. This message can be ignored. (TL-6004)
 Using double quotes in the vts.conf file produces inconsistent results. Attributes
set in the vts.conf should use either single quotes or no quotes. (TL-5738)
 SCSI speed is 3.3MB/s after TapeServer is restarted. If TapeServer is stopped and
started, the SCSI speed is negotiated to 3.300MB/s. (TL-4434)
WORKAROUND: To negotiate at 160.000MB/s, reboot VTS.
 Delay in reboot after pressing Reboot on the Reboot the System page. The web
interface does not indicate the status of reboot request after pressing the reboot button
and it may take time for all of the system processes to shutdown after requesting the
reboot to begin. (TL-4000)
 If the controller ID and the host SCSI ID are set to the same value, kernel panics
occur. Kernel panics occur on VTS if two devices are set to the same ID. (TL-2303)
WORKAROUND: When using SCSI VTDs, make sure the SCSI controller ID is set to
something different than your host machine's SCSI ID. Contact your Support
representative if need assistance changing the controller ID.
 Kernel panic may occur if SCSI VTD is edited while host is scanning devices. If
you change the bus and LUN of a SCSI VTD and the host is scanning devices, the system
may panic and the web interface may stop responding. (TL-4018)
 Kernel panic may occur after creating VTDs. After creating VTDs, the system may
panic. (TL-2141)
WORKAROUND: Do not configure multiple devices to have the same bus, target, or
LUN values with different initiator values.
 ACPI Exception messages are displayed and logged during boot. At boot time,
messages similar to the following may be displayed on the system console and in /var/log/
dmesg. These messages are benign and may be ignored. (TL-2280)
ACPI Exception (acpi_processor-0681): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device
is not present [20060707]
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x2
 Trace messages may be displayed on the console. These messages can be ignored.
(TL-3032)
General operations
 Restore errors and loss of VTD may result if write request is too large. If a write
is requested but it is too large, two responses are generated causing a timeout and isp
errors in the system logs. This is seen when trying to restore a tape and may cause the
loss of a VTD. (TL-6571, EAR 7711)
