5 KNOWN 

ISSUES 

 

Double clicking on the up-arrow-folder can take a long time to refresh the 
directory list 

 

 

Note:

  When navigating tapes with a large number of files performance 

may be slow - edit the path in the type-in box above the directory 
for faster performance

 

 

 

 

Setting the write-protect switch before disconnecting or ejecting a tape will 
prevent changes to the directory from getting updated on tape 

 

 

Note:

  Never set the write-protect switch on a tape until it has been 

ejected from the drive 

 

 

 

 

To assure data integrity under all archiving situations, the FTP client calculates 
the tape space remaining assuming no compression on file sizes  

 

 

When using Firefox browsers under MacOSX, java preferences must be set to 
J2SE 5.0 or 1.4.2, the applet will not load when Java SE 6 is selected.  This does 
not apply when using Safari browsers. 

 

 

When using Firefox 2.0 browsers, the transfer list redraw may be incorrect.  
Users should update to Firefox 3.0. 

 

 

Transfer size estimations on SDLT600A systems may  be in error – users are 
advised to manually maintain less than 280GB per tape.  Overfilling a tape may 
result in a “broken pipe” error but all files written to tape will be intact. 

 

 

When attempting to format a blank or data tape, the message “Unable to refresh 
list” is displayed. Click “OK” to continue.
