Virtual TapeServer 8.2 Release Notes

Known Issues | 21
 SCSI virtual devices may not appear immediately to AS/400. (TL-7320)
WORKAROUND: Reboot VTS and the device should be discovered.
 netconfig will not continue if hardware error occurs on disconnected port.
netconfig should continue even if there is an error on another port (that is not currently
being configured by netconfig). (TL-7117)
WORKAROUND: Resolve the hardware error.
 netconfig will not allow setting a non-default static route. When using netconfig to
configure interfaces, there may be a need to set a different gateway for eth1 other than
the default gateway. There is currently no way to do this using netconfig. (TL-7340)
 Connection issues may occur when using 4Gb Fibre Channel cards. Connection
issues can occur when using the 4Gb Fibre Channel card directly connected to AS/400 on
v5r4. When it comes up as private loop, there are issues seeing the devices. Also, if the
host resets, VTS runs out of resources in the driver and the VTD is lost. Contact Support
if this issue occurs. (TL-6698, EAR 7772)
 Compression setting for tape drives is not altered from the default value after it
has powered on. Most tape drives default to compression on; VTS does not change this
setting, which may cause exports to fail. (TL-6564)
 Bootup delayed without Ethernet configuration or connection. If the Ethernet is
not configured, or in some cases, if there is no Ethernet cable plugged into the appliance,
bootup may be delayed when bringing up the processes for the web interface. (TL-6552,
EAR 7648)
 Ethernet link present when no Ethernet cable is connected. When configuring the
network, the netconfig tool sometimes shows a link is present when no Ethernet cable is
connected. This can be safely ignored. (TL-6817)
 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 error may 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.
 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.
