Virtual TapeServer 8.0 Release Notes

Known Issues | 30
 Virtual tapes in a VTL are not shown as locked on the Manage Tapes and Pools
page. Operations that require a lock still fail as expected for cartridges that are in a VTL.
(TL-5969)
 Manage Virtual Tapes page becomes slow when streaming data and sometimes
throws an Internal Server Error. When data-intensive tasks are occurring in the
background, accessing the Virtual Tapes page can cause request timeouts. (TL-6667)
WORKAROUND: Wait for the operations to complete and try again.
 Deleting a VTL and viewing the Manage Virtual Tapes page displays a Flash
notice. If VTL has been deleted and then Virtual Tapes page is accessed or refreshed to
display the library's cartridges, the stale page may cause an error. (TL-6014)
WORKAROUND: Refresh this page or restart the browser.
 Virtual tape appears to be created in a locked pool but is not. If you attempt to
create a virtual tape in a pool that is locked, the operation fails even though the
“Successfully created” message is displayed. (TL-1903, EAR 4286)
 Cartridge size check done on Cartridge Maintenance page instead of Pool
Maintenance page. Though you specify a maximum cartridge size on the Pool
Maintenance page, the system does not check for the size; it checks on the Cartridge
Maintenance page. (TL-3772)
 Cannot click button to confirm deletion of cartridges if deleting many. When
deleting many cartridges, the confirmation dialog box extends off the screen and does not
show the OK button. (TL-3562)
WORKAROUND: Press Enter when the dialog is displayed to confirm the deletion.
 List of cartridges is incorrect if duplicates exist on the system. After an import,
the list of cartridges displayed on the user interface may not match the list of cartridges
on the file system. This occurs if there are duplicate pools or cartridges. (TL-3170)
 Page loads slowly if expanded pool contains many cartridges. If you view or
refresh the Configure Tapes and Pools page and a pool that contains many cartridges is
expanded, the web interface is very slow to display the page. If there is cartridge activity
(backup, export, copy, and so on), the page may take up to four minutes to load. (TL-3011,
TL-3012, TL-515)
 Window button on Configure Tapes and Pools page does not scroll when using
Firefox. The Window button on the Configure Tapes and Pools page should scroll with
the page but instead locks in place when the page is scrolled up or down.This seems to
only happen with Firefox 3.0.11. (TL-3300)
 Performance of Configure Tapes and Pools page in GFS cluster degrades as
number of systems grows. The Configure Tapes and Pools page in a GFS cluster loads
slowly and performance degrades as the cluster size grows. The time to load the page can
take up to 20 minutes or longer in such cases, with only one node loading the page. (TL-
3041, EAR 4912)
 Web interface shows incorrect size of a cartridge that was created by the host
server and then erased. With an empty cartridge, the label and trailer size are
combined. When the cartridge is erased, the label remains, but the trailer is removed. If
there is data on the cartridge, the label size is accurate before and after the erase.
