Virtual TapeServer 8.4 Release Notes

Known Issues | 24
 A pool can not be moved to a different vault using the Tapes and Pools page. The
help for the Tapes and Pools page incorrectly states that you can change the name for any
field except the pool name. The help should state that you can change the name for any
field except the VAULT name. (TL-8269, EAR-10250)
 The Last Mounted column on the Manage Virtual Tapes page shows the last
time the virtual tape was modified, not necessarily the last time the virtual tape
was mounted. (TL-8456)
 Long pool names overlap into other fields on the Manage Virtual Tapes page. On
the Manage Virtual Tapes page, long pool names will overlap into other fields, making the
other fields unreadable. (TL-7813, TL-4779))
WORKAROUND: Use s
horter pool names.
 Sorting is not persistent on Tapes and Pools page. Making changes, such as adding
virtual tapes or deleting a pool clears the column sort on the Tapes and Pools page. (TL-
7994)
 The status of tapes shown in the Virtual Tapes page may not be current. When
tape operations occur outside the Virtual Tapes page, the tapes shown in the Virtual
Tapes page may be out of date. Removing a large number of Virtual Tapes can also result
in out of date information. (TL-7996, TL-8026)
WORKAROUND: A ma
nual refresh for a single tape or clear cache for the entire page
will update the cartridge information to the latest available.
 Pools may appear empty on the Manage Virtual Tapes page while the virtual
tape cache is being built or rebuilt. Populating the virtual tape cache when there is a
large number of virtual tapes on the system can take some time. This can result in some
pools showing as empty because they have not been processed yet. It may appear that
virtual tapes have been removed until all pools have been processed. (TL-7632)
 Creating the virtual tape cache on the Manage Virtual Media page can be slow.
(TL-7550)
 Manage Virtual Tapes page may hang when filtering on pools. (TL-7266)
WORKAROUND: Click Virtual Tape
s on the navigation pane again.
 Erase, Delete, Import/Export buttons missing from Advanced Virtual Tapes
page. These buttons are missing after upgrading. (TL-7300)
WORKAROUND: Log
out of the web interface and log in again.
 Clear Cache on a system under heavy load will cause the wrong tapes to be
displayed. Under heavy load, virtual tape information may take longer to refresh. (TL-
7406)
WORKAROUND: Wait for system load
to reduce and click Clear Cache again.
 Mount button is not available when browser is not maximized. The outer edge of
the Mount button is selectable but the rest of the button is not. The Window menu on the
Configure Tapes and Pools page covers most of the Mount button except the outer edge.
(TL-6982, EAR-8148)
WORKAROUND: Maximize the web browser so tha
t it is full screen.
 Virtual tapes in a VTL are not shown as locked on the Manage Tapes and Pools
page. Operations that require a lock still fail as expected for cartridges that are in a VTL.
