[. . . ] To configure control path failover drives, you must have a Storage Networking License (SNW). RSA Key Manager (RKM) The Scalar i6000 now supports RKM functionality for encryption-capable HP LTO drives. To use the RKM functionality, you must have an EKM license key. 2 New Features and Enhancements Release Notes 6-66883-05 Rev A February 2011 Compatibility and Support Encryption and Q-EKM and SKM Drive Support Encryption Option Application Managed Encryption Q-EKM SKM RKM (i6000 only) HP LTO-4 Supported IBM LTO-4 Supported HP LTO-5 Supported (i6000 only) Not Supported Requires EKM License Requires EKM License IBM LTO-5 Supported (i6000 only) Requires EKM License Not Supported Not Supported Not Supported Requires EKM License Requires EKM License Requires EKM License Not Supported Not Supported Compatibility Matrix See the following table for information on drive and auxiliary firmware compatibility with this release of Scalar i2000/i6000.

However, it will be necessary to telnet to the blade and enter the 'fcRestart' for this channel for the ID change to take effect. 29148 In the Move Media dialog box, choosing the Device Type of I/E Station causes all targets to disappear even though I/E stations slots were available before the filter was applied. Direct FC attached HP LTO-5 drives--with EEBs--may drop the logical FC link when set in the default loop mode and attached to a switch. MeDIA - Tape with TA55 reports invalid CM scan results 29064 28950 28728 HP LTO-5 FC link problem on QLogic FC switches. 27400 User can set 7404 FC blade initiator port to 1G when attached to 8G drive. LTO-4 drive not presented to host, issue with loop id. 21695 Known Issues 7 Release Notes 6-66883-05 Rev A February 2011 Change Request Number 18847 Service Request Number 737276 Description If the GUI is started from a Web browser, then closing the LMC will cause an exit of the browser instead of just closing the tab used to start the browser. Workaround This problem occurs primarily with Internet Explorer. The best possible solution in the interim would be to use FireFox (3. 5. x) or greater, or start a separate IE browser window for library management. The current release of i8 has added an issuance of a RAS ticket upon import of a piece of media that has a duplicate barcode, thereby helping to prevent this situation. Reboot the FCB7404. 18382 894472 979230 1050722 If two slots have media with duplicate barcodes, they will be incorrectly indicated as empty. 18357 18354 770026 7404 Sends REC to host multiple times when host PRLI does not show REC supported. I/O blade does not support exchange recovery if host does not flag "Confirmed Completion Allowed" in PRLI. RES binary data compare fails with allocation length >2MB. 71752 18774 769416 773424 779394 Do not use allocation lengths >2MB. Since the Mozilla Firefox Java plug-in is not impacted by the EKM installation, it is recommended to use Firefox if there are issues. Restart the back-up through host application. 18702 70801 18331 16990 18093 18430 Do not upgrade drive brick firmware using the Tools > Upgrade Software menu option, but perform the upgrade after successfully updating the software library, using Tools > Update Drive Firmware menu option. When managing multiple libraries, do not use the same host for different GUIs at the same time. Before pulling cables from the FC blades, verify that no I/O data is being written or read from the drives. Delete all partitions, and then use the Expert mode to create both partitions. 18432 Error connecting to server after software upgrade. Devices stopped responding to host (all cmds timed out) following port reset. Modifying a one-partition library to remove magazines from the partition does not remove all magazines selected upon completion. If the user attempts to create a partition using the available magazine, two partitions checker board the library. 69021 18608 Known Issues 9 Release Notes 6-66883-05 Rev A February 2011 Change Request Number 66625 Service Request Number Description Long erase fails with BUE 11d w/HP LTO3; semaphore timeout after 6 hours. Workaround Device drivers from several different vendors, such IBM LTO and Adaptec SCSI HBA, have had to made changes to address LTO erase timeout issues. At minimum user needs to check and update to latest version of the device drivers for their system. Then if necessary, either run tape long erase operation one at a time or install IBM LTO 6. 0. 8. 2 driver. [. . . ] No applicable workaround is available. 18471 The library SCSI port does not properly terminate when the library is connected via a string of drives. Applications have varying time-outs for Move Medium, with the minimum, nonconfigurable timeout being 300 seconds. Thus each logical library (LL) has an absolute time budget of 300/#LLs to "spend" on a move. If an LL knows in advance that it will be unable to perform a move, the LL can return Busy to the application. [. . . ]
