Release Notes

Document 6-00424-40 Rev A

October 2008

Known Issues

9

70621

The 7404 GUI reboot operation is slow 

(approximately 20 seconds).

No applicable workaround is available. 

Let the reboot process complete.

70638

Installing EKM with IBM Java disables 

functioning Sun Java plug-in and i2000 RMI 

interface does not function after EKM install.

Since the Mozilla Firefox Java plug-in is 

not impacted by the EKM installation, it 

is recommended to use Firefox if there 

are issues.

70591

Q-EKM enabled systems with more than 36 

LTO-4 drives may fail with key/ASC/ASCQ: 

4/ee/e. This type of failure only occurs during 
extremely high amounts of key requests (or 

move medium commands). 

Restart back-up through host 

application.

69075

Drives failed to autolevel to specified firmware 

image during library bundle upgrade.

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.

69061

Error connecting to server after software 

upgrade

When managing multiple libraries,  do 

not use the same host for different GUIs 

at the same time.

69021

Devices stopped responding to host (all cmds 

timed out) following port reset. 

Before pulling cables from the FC 

blades, verify that no I/O data is being 

written or read from the drives.

68949

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.

Delete all partitions, and then use the 

Expert mode to create both partitions.

66625

Long erase fails with BUE 11d w/HP LTO3; 

semaphore timeout after 6 hours.

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.

66379

7404 HPF requires reboot of SUSE 9 UD4 

server.

Reboot SUSE 9 host.

65583

7404 HPF: the active port setting is not 

persistent, and a reboot can set it back to a 

failing port.

This functions as designed.
