[. . . ] Install the AMC 4. 6. 6 Server and SAN manager remote client from the Quantum Web site. Software Compatibility To view a list backup software packages that have been tested for interoperability with the Scalar i2000 and Scalar i6000, refer to the Quantum Software Compatibility Guide at http://www. quantum. com/swcompguide. aspx. Resolved Issues This release of Scalar i2000/i6000 i8. 1, i8. 1. 1, and i8. 1. 2 firmware resolved the following issues: Change Request Number Service Request Number 607A. GS05301 Description 31338 31572 Input from second (non-existent) picker is causing cold boot issue where robot would not come ready. Phantom drives are displayed when shortening a library to a single frame. 606A. GS00301 30539 30539 The library network name cannot contain more than 30 characters. The library network name cannot contain more than 30 characters. 4 Resolved Issues Release Notes 6-66883-05 Rev A February 2011 Change Request Number 30587 30588 30590 Service Request Number Description When the topology is changed on a CPF secondary inactive drive the system produces a RAS ticket. After a speed change on the CPF primary drive, the host loses drive access. [. . . ] For this release, limit the Fully Qualified DNS name to 30 characters. Once all jobs have been stopped, use SMIT > Devices > Tivoli Storage Manager Devices > Fibre Channel SAN Attached Devices > Discover Devices Supported by TSM to discover the change in control path. The drives and their paths need to be deleted and recreated (the working drive) before backups could resume. It recommend that you do not use CPF with Tivoli Storage Manager on AIX since doing so will require manual intervention when it fails over and when you fail it back. 30801 30524 30394 A false failover ticket is generated when the Failback button used. CPF function breaks TSM on AIX configuration. 6 Known Issues Release Notes 6-66883-05 Rev A February 2011 Change Request Number 30302 Service Request Number Description Quantum i6000 with IBM LTO-5 FC drives cannot be configured when drives are directly connected to fiber switch within CA_Arcserve `12. 5 . 1 Host loses connection to IBM LTO-5 drives after drive topology is changed to Point-toPoint. Workaround Set the drives to either loop preferred or point-to-point in the i6000 GUI. 29947 IBM drives must be configured for Loop when configured behind an FC blade or if directly connected to an FC HBA. If the drive is direct connected to a FC switch then the IBM drive can be configured to Point-to-Point, Loop Preferred, or Loop only. All direct FC attached HP LTO-5 drives--with EEBs--that are connected to a switch should be set to FC pointto-point mode instead of the default loop mode. If a MeDIA scan--normal or full-- completes and any of the media shows the scan status as Test in Progress after being tested, look for tape alerts against the media or drive in question. Contact QLogic Support http:// solution. qlogic. com and refer to Qlogic KB article ID 1610. QLogic may request a `dump_support' file from the switch that is having the problem. 1G is not an acceptable setting for higher speed drives; it is an incompatible setting. 7404 HPF: the active port setting is not persistent, and a reboot can set it back to a failing port. SDLT 320 fails firmware update using FUP tape SDLT 600 drives fail to upgrade using AMC. 64283 This is only a problem with SDLT 320 drives with firmware V82 and older. If the upgrade fails, restart the library, and then perform the upgrade using AMC (making sure the previous version is identified as the drive firmware level). Rescan library devices on the host (cycle host's SCSI front-end driver). Disable scanning from the BIOS, if possible, or reboot the library and perform rescan. Select a smaller query set, or set the label to one item, for example, Media ID. Do not specify home directory for link folder when logged in as root. 18407 18239 18238 Changed mapping, but host continued to send commands to old devices. 6404/LUN mapping window does not update when a host is Online/Offline when FC cable is removed from host. MCB SCSI with AHA39320 scan does not report chger LUN - timeout error When interrupting a move from the cleaning tape back to the cleaning slot, the library does not place media in cleaning slot. FRU id "rollup report" graph labels are unreadable When generating a Tape Alerts report graph, the serial number and barcode overwrite each other in the graphical display. AMC installs with errors when home directory is specified as link folder. 18644 18643 62417 57762 57687 10 Known Issues Release Notes 6-66883-05 Rev A February 2011 Change Request Number 57578 Service Request Number Description Receive a Java error when installing the AMC software in c: Workaround When an additional directory is specified under C:\ at install, for example - C:\AMC, then the client launch is successful. [. . . ] If an MCB is removed from its original library and used on a new library, a ticket may be generated indicating a library serial number mismatch. After setting Host Type to HP_UX and doing LUN Mapping at the same time, HP-UX host requires a reboot for it to see and communicate with the devices attached to the I/O blade. Legacy mount and read/write statistics are still displayed when partitions are deleted and recreated. 18509 232590 Contact technical support to escalate the issue. 22186 Reboot the HP-UX host. 21446 This is a designed function to track drive/media issues. Known Issues 11 Release Notes 6-66883-05 Rev A February 2011 Change Request Number 14920 Service Request Number Description LMC appears to hang for up to five minutes while trying to change drive SCSI ID/LTO-2 settings in one partition while other partitions are online and in use. When issuing Vary On or Vary Off commands too quickly back-to-back, the commands are not executed. Workaround Take the physical library offline before changing the drive SCSI ID or LTO-2 settings. 12496 Pause at least one minute between issuing Vary On or Vary Off commands. [. . . ]
