Virtual TapeServer 8.0 Release Notes

Known Issues | 33
 Mounts and Locks page allows the removal of locks on VTDs in VTLs. The Mounts
and Locks page accessible from the Configure Tapes and Pools page allows the removal of
locks on cartridges. It will remove the lock on a cartridge within a VTL, but it will not
remove the VTL lock. The correct functionality should be that it does not show cartridges
that have the VTL lock, and it does not allow removal of those locks. Note that if you are
not using VTLs, you should not use the Mounts and Locks page. (TL-4012)
 Incorrect error displayed if mount fails because cartridge is corrupt.
“Destination Element Address 257 is Already Full” error displayed after attempt to mount
corrupted tapes. Because the drive is not full and the tape is corrupt, the response to the
initiator should not indicate that the drive is full. (TL-4007)
 VTL may be loaded with too many cartridges. When a VTL is edited and more
virtual tapes are placed in the VTL than number of slots available, the library may fail to
startup and remain in the disabled state. (TL-3624)
 Unmount button for virtual tapes in a virtual library does not work. You cannot
manually unmount a virtual tape that resides in a virtual library. (TL-1384)
WORKAROUND: Use the Manage Virtual Tapes page and remove the cartridge from the
VTL instead of trying to unmount it.
 Manage Virtual Drives page does not differentiate between cartridges mounted
read-only and cartridges mounted read/write. (TL-5034)
WORKAROUND: View the Configure Tapes and Pools page and hover over each drive's
status indicator.
 Data sizes displayed on page are incorrect after import. If you export and then
import a virtual tape, the data size that is displayed is incorrect. (TL-4396)
 Selecting All from the Filter By Pool drop-down list automatically changes the
selection to Please Select. The correct cartridges are displayed, though. This is simply
a display problem with the drop-down list. (TL-4469)
 opwin_ configuration file parameters are not enforced on the Manage Virtual
Tapes page. If opwin_ShowReadOnly, opwin_ShowLimits, opwin_ShowCompression, or
opwin_ShowLastWritten is set to YES in the vts.conf file, the Manage Virtual Tapes page
does not recognize the settings. (TL-4447)
 Manage Virtual Tapes page becomes unresponsive when trying to display a VTL
that was created when a pool with the same name exists. If you create a VTL using
the same name base that is used by an existing pool, the page hangs when you try to filter
by cartridge or pool. The production log shows that the page is looking for the original
VLM that would have been created if a pool by that name did not already exist. (TL-4456)
WORKAROUND: Delete the VTL and either remove or rename the pool that was created
and recreate the VTL. Or, choose another name when recreating the VTL.
 Insert and remove actions are not available if you show all cartridges and filter
by pool. If you select ALL from the Show Cartridges In drop-down list and select ALL or
a VTL name from the Filter By Pool drop-down list, the Insert into library and Remove
from library options are not available on the Choose Action drop-down list. This is
working as designed, though the web interface should provide a list of all VTLs to insert
into or remove from. (TL-4398)
 View Media Management page takes over 25 seconds to load with a 1300+
cartridges. The system appears to be hung, though it eventually comes back. (TL-4156)
