AMC should use 802.3 standard to determine 

valid external IP and gateway addresses

As long as a valid IP is entered, there 

are no issues.

FCB eVPS map was corrupted.

Due to lack of data and inability to 

reproduce the problem, no applicable 

workaround is available.

33306

Reservations not transferred when host port 

fails over.

When the FC ports fail over the host 

needs to re-login (PLOGI + PRLI) to the 

FCB. Re-login requires that reservations 

be re-established.

No logging exists to identify when the 

software clock is brought into sync with the 

hardware clock. Also, there is no ability to 

identify or generate an issue ticket if a clock is 

running fast.

No applicable workaround is available.

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.

Contact technical support to escalate 

the issue.

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.

Reboot the HP-UX host.

Legacy mount and read/write statistics are 

still displayed when partitions are deleted and 

recreated.

This is designed function this way to 

track drive / media issues.

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. The resulting changes 

are intermittent.

Take the physical library offline before 

changing the drive SCSI ID or LTO-2 

settings.

When issuing 

Vary On

 or 

Vary Off

 

commands too quickly back-to-back, the 

commands are not executed.

Pause at least one minute between 

issuing 

Vary On

 or 

Vary Off 

commands. Observe the behavior of the 

drive to ensure the command is 

executed.

terminate when the library is connected via a 

string of drives.

Do not terminate a string of SCSI drives
