4 ENHANCEMENTS AND NEW FUNCTIONALITY
•Updated documentation covering all operations in better detail for both Mac and
PC operating systems is available on the Quantum web site.
•FTP Client window now scales to fill any browser window size allowing longer
and wider list views.
•A new transfer Summary panel has been added and whenever a transfer has
completed, the applet switches to this panel with complete information about
how many files and what size transferred. Details about any file(s) which did not
transfer are also reported.
•Drives now advertise on the users’ network using Bonjour. In addition to directly
typing the IP address of the drive, users can access it from the Safari Bonjour
listing or by typing hostname.local. where hostname is the name given to the
drive in the Setup > Hostname (bonjour version will be all lower case) followed
by “.local.” (consult the manual for more details)
Note: Bonjour may take 1-2 hours to re-appear after a drive reboot.
•Fixed problems copying certain types and names of files have been fixed – there
are now no issues making archives of:
oMac Applications
oDirectories and files beginning with a period or ending with a space or
period
oUTF-8 character encoding is now the default to handle more languages
oIt is now possible to archive and restore files with unusual characters
such as percents, slashes, line feeds, etc.
Note: File names still may not exceed 97 characters, any files with
longer names will be skipped and reported as such.
•Fixed problems resetting LTO-3A systems to default system parameter settings
and IP address. A revised reset procedure is included in the manual
•Fixed a number of issues which could cause corruption or loss of information in a
tape’s directory
Note: When selecting Disconnect or ejecting a tape, the drive will
update redundant copies of the Table of Contents to assure data
integrity and this may take up to 6 minutes (normally 1 to 3
minutes) and should not be interrupted

•Users are now advised when they attempt to write more data to a tape than will
fit, and the report includes transfer size and remaining space information
Note: When archiving a large number of files, the FTP client may take
several minutes to calculate the required space and the browser
may appear to be locked up – please be patient, the copy will
start once the applet has assured there is adequate space for the
requested operation
•Unexpected disconnects from the FTP Client have been eliminated in most
circumstances
•If there was a hard write error when writing a file to tape, the item will not appear
in the directory and reporting of this condition is expanded
•Unused functions in the setup menu have been removed
•Menu organization has been adjusted to separate “Eject Tape” from “Erase Tape”
so users will be less likely to mistakenly select the wrong one
•Certain problems arising from archiving hidden files have now been resolved
•Creation of zero-length files which can not be overwritten has been fixed
•Certain problems arising from incorrect file/folder permissions settings have
been fixed
•Users are now warned to eject tapes to prevent data loss on reboot
•Users no longer need to access a pop-up menu item to acknowledge power loss
errors
•The “List details” selection now provides a choice to show or hide hidden files
•Certain problems with some AppleDouble file resources have been corrected for
all known file situations
•Problems related to using Windows Explorer v6.x have been fixed
•It is no longer possible to eject a tape before the system has completely updated
all directory information
•The Transfer list file enumeration at the bottom of the page now shows the total
number of files to be transferred upon starting. It is now possible to copy a very
large number of files in a single operation, however the transfer list will only
show the last 10-15,000 files. The summary will still indicate the total number of
files transferred and any errors encountered.

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.
