Virtual TapeServer 8.3 Release Notes

Known Issues | 42
 NetBackup media ID may be listed twice. VTS retrieves information from the
NetBackup output log for information about a backup job, including the media ID(s) used
for the backup. Depending on the NetBackup version in use in conjuction with the VTS
implementation to retrieve this information, the media IDs may be listed twice for a
backup job. (TL-7625)
 Unmigrating a pool does not restore virtual tapes. Restoring a pool after migration
does not restore the virtual tapes. (TL-7586)
WORKAROUND: Restore virtual tapes one at a time.
 Stacked export destination missing from report. If more than one Netbackup
stacked export is run at once, only one of the jobs returns a media ID in hsmput.log. This
causes the destination for the stacked export job to be blank in the stacked export report.
(TL-7311)
 Stacked Export and Migrate cannot be used at the same time. If so, both will fail
and create trouble loading web interface pages. (TL-7392, TL-7391)
 Erased cartridge is not being unmigrated when host requests the cartridge.
When a host requests the cartridge after it is migrated and then erased, the cartridge
should be unmigrated before it is mounted for the host to retrieve. Instead, if the cartridge
is in a VTL, the cartridge is mounted when it is empty and not restored prior to being
mounted. (TL-4806)
WORKAROUND: Remove the cartridge from the VTL and manually unmigrate the
cartridge. Then, re-insert the cartridge into the VTL and issue the restore command from
the host.
 Login path for CommVault 8 set to /opt/galaxy/Base/qlogin. The path should be set
to /opt/simpana/Base. (TL-5707)
WORKAROUND: Use the following commands as root:
mkdir /opt/galaxy
ln -s /opt/simpana/Base /opt/galaxy/Base
 Stacked exports do not work with SDLT VTLs. The drives are not associated with
the library. (TL-4669)
 Default vts.conf file does not include migrate_all parameter. This parameter can
be set to allow all cartridges, including empty ones, to be migrated. This parameter is not
present in the default configuration file. (TL-3950)
 Cartridge not ejected after migration by Legato. After migration is completed, the
cartridge should be ejected and put back in the tape slot. If Legato is used to migrate the
tape, the tape is not ejected as expected. (TL-2390)
 Misconfigured migration settings cause “Error: Can't find any files with data to
backup” error. If you do not specify a BMA in vts.conf, or if you misconfigure a
migration setting, the “Error: Can't find any files with data to backup message is
displayed, which does not indicate the problem. (TL-2645)
