Virtual TapeServer 8.2 Release Notes

Known Issues | 25
Web interface
This section has been subdivided to better classify the issues.
General
 Vault mounted using multipathing is not listed on Manage File System Checks
page. (TL-7610)
 Cannot view list in Firefox if deleting a large number of cartridges. When
deleting a large number of cartridges using FireFox, the popup window may appear wider
than the browser window, making it impossible to select the buttons. In Firefox, the
cartridges are listed in one long line. In IE the cartridges in the popup are formatted on
several lines and not all cartridges are listed if they will not fit. (TL-7453)
 Web interface fails to load. Failing hardware attached to VTS may cause web interface
to fail to respond. (TL-7160)
WORKAROUND: Disconnect the failing hardware from VTS.
 Slow performance on Virtual Drives page. It takes over a minute before the Virtual
Drives page loads with more than 30 VTDs. (TL-7343)
 Troubleshooting package will not download with IE8 in security toolbar. (TL-
6616)
WORKAROUND: Disable popup blockers or add this as a safe and trusted website for
pop-ups. IE can prevent troubleshooting packages from being downloaded on the first try
but after disabling, will work correctly. Restarting the browser may also be required.
 Web interface not refreshed after capacity license is applied. After applying a
capacity license, the old interface remains displayed and links are missing if you do not
refresh the browser. (TL-6866)
WORKAROUND: Refresh the browser.
 Encryption options can be checked when there is no encryption license set. The
Encryption checkboxes on the Edit System Settings and Create/Edit job dialogs work
inconsistently. If there is no license installed, it can be enabled in the Manage Settings
page but it is disabled on the job edit/creation dialogs. (TL-6773)
 Information is not updated on the View Sg-Map Information page. The sg_map
information is not updated to reflect changes unless TapeServer is restarted. (TL-4163,
EAR 6219)
 Web interface erroneously enables you to eject a virtual tape from an VTD in a
VTL. From the Virtual Drives page, if you attempt to eject a virtual tape in a VTL, the
following errors are generated:
Tue Mar 8 09:58:02 2011: [vtape] Clearing device 2a000407
Tue Mar 8 09:58:02 2011: [server] TS_VTAPE_CLEAR: ERROR reserved and
NOT forced, - return error to vtape
Tue Mar 8 09:58:02 2011: [server] TS_VTAPE_CLEAR: ERROR Device not
found in routing table or not connected.
Tue Mar 8 09:58:02 2011: [vtape] Unrecognized device (btli)
specified: 2a000407
The last two messages are incorrect and you should not be allowed to eject the tape. (TL-
6310)
