Virtual TapeServer 8.4 Release Notes

Known Issues | 25
 Cartridge size check done on Cartridge Maintenance page instead of Pool
Maintenance page. Though you specify a maximum cartridge size on the Pool
Maintenance page, the system does not check for the size; it checks on the Cartridge
Maintenance page. (TL-3772)
 Cannot click button to confirm deletion of cartridges if deleting many. When
deleting many cartridges, the confirmation dialog box extends off the screen and does not
show the OK button. (TL-3562)
WORKAROUND:
Press Enter when the dialog is displayed to confirm the deletion.
 List of cartridges is incorrect if duplicates exist on the system. After an import,
the list of cartridges displayed on the user interface may not match the list of cartridges
on the file system. This occurs if there are duplicate pools or cartridges. (TL-3170)
 Window button on Configure Tapes and Pools page does not scroll when using
Firefox. The Window button on the Configure Tapes and Pools page should scroll with
the page but instead locks in place when the page is scrolled up or down. This is seen with
Firefox 3.0.11. (TL-3300)
 Web interface shows incorrect size of a cartridge that was created by the host
server and then erased. With an empty cartridge, the label and trailer size are
combined. When the cartridge is erased, the label remains, but the trailer is removed. If
there is data on the cartridge, the label size is accurate before and after the erase.
(TL-3020)
 Cartridge Status pop-up dialog is not updated while a cartridge is mounted. If
you display the Cartridge pop-up dialog by clicking a link in the size (MB) column of the
Configure Tapes and Pools page and then the cartridge is mounted, the data is not
updated on the pop-up. (TL-2350)
WORKAROUND: V
iew this information when the cartridge is not mounted.
 Cartridge sizes are not displayed properly. Cartridges created with 1TB, 1GB, or
1MB limits will display, respectively, as 1024GB, 1024MB, and 1024K. However, 2TB
cartridges display as 2TB, 2GB carts display as 2GB, and 2MB cartridges display as 2MB.
(TL-2365)
 Performance slows and the web interface becomes unresponsive if you close the
browser during a pool move. After the pool is moved, the web interface becomes
responsive again. The popup dialog box should indicate not to close the window or tab
while the pool move is in progress. (TL-4956)
 Cannot cancel pending mounts. The web interface indicates “Cancelled 0 pending
mounts” but pending mounts are re-queued and given new reqnums every six seconds.
The clearmount process attempts to match the reqnum of the pending mount. If they
match, the pending mount is cancelled. If they do not match, the pending mount is not
cancelled, as indicated by this message in the interface and log: “Error: clearmount found
no match in mount queue for reqnum 000000663”. (TL-3304)
WORKAROUND: Cancel the pending mount w
ithin six seconds of the page or refresh the
web interface and then cancel.
 Long pool names cause cartridge creation to fail but report success. If you try to
create cartridges in a pool with a path name of 255 characters or greater, the cartridge
creation reports success but it fails. (TL-1869)
WORKAROUND: Creat
e pools with path names less than 255 characters.
