Virtual TapeServer 8.3 Release Notes

Known Issues | 49
 Device names beginning with $ result in ems_hostdevs and ems_virtdevs are not
logged. If VTS is used with an HP NonStop host and the device names begin with $, the
ems_hostdevs and ems_virtdevs values are blank in the log. This can cause confusion if
reviewing the logs. (TL-1562, EAR-4030)
Policy Based Actions
 When a pool is renamed its policies are not transferred. When a pool is renamed
the policies associated with the pool are not transferred to the updated pool. (TL-7897)
WORKAROUND: After renaming a pool, all policies for a pool must be recreated.
SMTP and notifications
 SMTP Delivery settings can be saved with no SMTP Server set. When configuring
the SMTP Delivery settings, a configuration can be saved even if there is no SMTP Server
set. No email will be delivered since there is no server specified. No warning or error
message is displayed to indicate the missing SMTP Server. (TL-8094)
 Subject Line Prefix not used in email notifications. The SMTP Delivery settings
include a field for Subject Line Prefix, but entries in this field are not added to the subject
line of emails generated by the system. (TL-5137, TL-8095)
 Clicking Send without an email address on SMTP Settings page leaves web
interface in Sending state. When configuring SMTP settings, if you leave the email
address blank and click Send, the web interface displays an error message but leaves the
button in “Sending” mode. If you type a valid email address, it is not reset to Send. (TL-
7374)
WORKAROUND: Click the Apply button on this page and then the button is reset and
you can re-validate the email address.
 Running a disabled job does not generate an email. A notification email will not be
sent when a disabled job is run. (TL-6820)
Clustering (GFS)
 GFS cluster will not start if hostname is specified with uppercase and lowercase
characters. (TL-7265)
WORKAROUND: Specify GFS hostnames using lowercase characters only.
 Generating a troubleshooting package with GFS takes a long time. When VTS is
configured in a GFS cluster, it may take a long time to gather information used to create
the troubleshooting package. (TL-6915)
 Cannot resolve the hostname in a GFS environment without a DNS server.
Currently, you cannot configure GFS to use a fully qualified domain name without the use
of DNS. (TL-6874)
