Virtual TapeServer 8.2 Release Notes

Known Issues | 32
 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)
 Login button always displayed on Manage Virtual Tapes page. If you log in to the
web interface after accessing the Manage Virtual Tapes page, the Login button is
displayed until you navigate away from the page and then navigate back. (TL-4429)
External Data
 Deleting all cartridges on External Data page may fail. (TL-7370)
WORKAROUND: Delete cartridges individually.
 No rescan available on External Data page. (TL-6604)
WORKAROUND: Use the browser's Clear Cache option to rescan the drive to read its
current tape information.
 Filter by Pool drop-down list on the External Data page is disabled if a pool
with no replicated tapes is selected. If a pool has no replicated virtual tapes, the
Filter By Pool drop-down list is disabled if selected. Use this feature only when there are
virtual tapes to be displayed. (TL-6755)
WORKAROUND: Navigate away and then back to the External Data page.
 External Data page should not list files if target system has the disabled source.
A replication source that has been disabled by target can still retrieve the list of replicated
files. Any attempt to restore files fails with message that source is not enabled for
replication. The source should not be able to retrieve replicated cartridge information if
not enabled. (TL-5924)
 Selecting Back button on External Data page does not allow drop-down devices
to be selected directly. From the External Data page, selecting to view jobs and then
clicking back causes the drop-down to become non-functional, and the library cannot be
directly selected. The Please Select button must be selected first before you can then
reselect the library. (TL-5850)
 External Data import job includes cleaning tapes. If a physical library has a
cleaning tape with the same barcode as a virtual tape, the tape can be selected for import.
The import of that cleaning tape will fail appropriately, but depending on job settings,
such as “Stop on Error” may terminate the rest of the import job. (TL-5998)
