These messages can be ignored. (TL-2079)
 The “mount /dev/cdrom” command no longer works because CD media is
handled differently. The new VTS operating system (CentOS 5.2) handles removable
media mounting differently than in previous releases. Removable media is automounted
on /media through the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) without entries in /etc/fstab in
much the same manner as removable media in Windows XP. From the console, however,
media is not automounted. (TL-1755)
 Linux kernel error message logged to /var/log/messages. Messages similar to the
following are logged to /var/log/messages:
Jul 10 16:23:23 localhost kernel: Contact your BIOS vendor to see if
the E752x error registers can be safely un-hidden
This is caused by a known Linux kernel driver issue for CentOS 5.2 and does not hinder
system operation. Ignore these messages. (TL-1853)
 Must use the rewinding name of a drive for import_export_drive_exclude
parameter in vts.conf. When specifying devices to be excluded from imports or exports
using the import_export_drive_exclude parameter in vts.conf, be sure to use the
rewinding name of the drive rather than the non-rewinding name. That is, use '/dev/st0',
not '/dev/nst0'. (TL-1962)
Web interface
 Adding a new certificate does not display the new certificate page. If the browser
recognizes the uploaded certificate's authority as a verified authority, no warnings are
generated. Firefox and IE will not generate a warning for a signed certificate if the chain
follows to a trusted authority. On Firefox and IE, installed SSL certificates information
can be obtained directly from the browser's address bar. (TL-6598)
 TapeServer and EMS service can be stopped and started by user who is not
logged in. If the user did not log in on an open system, the user can access the
TapeServer and EMS links on the Manage System Tasks page. (TL-3440)
 Reserved VTDs are available when creating an export job. If you create a mount
job in the future, you can choose a VTD that is currently in use. When the job runs, VTS
will determine that the VTD is available. (TL-4620)
 Logging in to web interface on localhost does not redirect to secure page. When
accessing the web interface from the localhost, HTTPS is not needed because data is not
transmitted. (TL-3643)
 Browser may display old data or errors if not refreshed. If an unexpected error
occurs or data appears to be old, refresh the browser. Old data is cached and may need to
be cleared. (TL-1662)
 File size of a mounted tape being written may not be updated. If a virtual tape is
mounted and being written to, the size shown on the page may not be updated until the
tape is dismounted. Normally, this value will be updated when file marks are written to
the tape, so usually this is not an issue for most users. (TL-881)
