Virtual TapeServer 8.3 Release Notes
Known Issues | 21
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 may fail to allow the virtual media removal from the virtual tape
drive. VTS supports the SCSI command to prevent a medium from being removed from a
tape drive. If removal is being prevented by the host server, the VTS web interface may
fail to allow the virtual media removal from the virtual tape drive. (TL-5063)
WORKAROUND: Use the host server to remove media instead of the web interface to
remove the media.
Editing a VTD without a license causes the VTD to be deleted. If the license is
removed and then you attempt to edit a VTD, the system deletes the VTD. (TL-3962)
Tape can be mounted in deleted VTD and the tape remains locked. If you delete a
VTD, VTS still allows you to mount a virtual tape in the deleted VTD. No data is lost but
the tape is locked. This occurs if multiple windows are used and actions are performed in
one window and affect the actions taken in the other. (TL-3156)
WORKAROUND: Remove the lock using the Mounts and Locks page.
Date and time shown for locked cartridges is incorrect. The timestamp used for the
date and time when a cartridge is locked is incorrect. (TL-2551, TL-3429)
Message on Manage System Licenses page implies that key was saved when it
was not. On the Manage System Licenses page, if you select the Update checkbox, paste
a license key in the License Key field, and then deselect the Update checkbox, a message
is displayed indicating that the license key is already present. The message is displayed
even though the key has not been saved. (TL-3175)
WORKAROUND: Navigate away from and back to the page.
Log In and Log Out buttons do not function for new user in closed system. If VTS
is configured for closed access and you create a new user, the Log In/Log Out button does
not function. It always states Log In. (TL-3310, TL-4235)
WORKAROUND: Close all browser windows and open a new window.
No message is displayed when system restore image is created. If you create a
system restore image, the web interface should display a message before creating the
image. Currently, the web interface does not indicate that it is creating the image and the
page may be blank for several minutes. (TL-3105)
