Virtual TapeServer 8.3 Release Notes

Known Issues | 17
 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, EAR-7918, EAR-9416)
 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)
 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.
 Kernel panic may occur if SCSI VTD is edited while host is scanning devices. If
you change the bus and LUN of a SCSI VTD and the host is scanning devices, the system
may panic and the web interface may stop responding. (TL-4018)
 ACPI Exception messages are displayed and logged during boot. At boot time,
messages similar to the following may be displayed on the system console and in /var/log/
dmesg. These messages are benign and may be ignored. (TL-2280)
ACPI Exception (acpi_processor-0681): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device
is not present [20060707]
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x2
 Trace messages may be displayed on the console. These messages can be ignored.
