2 New Features and Enhancements

New Features and Enhancements 0

• Scalar 50 and PX5xx (V51) includes the following feature for this new product launch.

Caution: With the release of firmware V51, the media changer’s Fibre Channel

(FC) World Wide Port Name (WWPN) has been changed to be

consistent with other Quantum Scalar libraries and FC target devices.

In the prior firmware release, the WWPN was equal to the World Wide

Node Name (WWNN). In V51 the WWPN is now a value of one

greater than the WWNN. The media changer’s World Wide Port Name

value is reported on the Remote Management Pages under Setup ->

SCSI/Fibre -> Connectivity/Fibre. When upgrading from a prior

firmware revision, this change may result in library not being

available to the host in FC SAN configurations that employ persistent

binding and/or zoning in FC switch(es). An update to persistent

bindings settings or rezoning of the FC switch(es) may be required.

• Added support for the HP LTO-4 Half Height tape drive (SAS).

Description Workaround

PCR 17460 When logging in through service telnet

port, the first login always fails.

This only occurs with some telnet clients. This

will be corrected in future releases of library

firmware.

PCR 18082 False power supply and power supply

fan critical events may be logged on

rare occasions.

This will be corrected in future releases of

library firmware.

PCR 19087 OCP/Remote Management Pages: A

method is needed to unlock the doors

when a host goes down leaving the

doors in a locked state.

Restart the backup application and unlock

resources. This is a usability change that will be

addressed in a future release.

PCR 19090 The number of event fields on the OCP

should match what the customer is able

to view (critical, warning, and

information).

This will be corrected in future releases of

library firmware.

PCR 19188 Remote Management Pages: The drive

firmware update does not refresh to the

new firmware version once the update

completes. It requires a power cycle to

update.

To display the correct drive firmware version

after an update on the Remote Management

Pages, the customer will need to power cycle

the library.

PCR 19242 Log Sense page 07 (Last N Error Events)

doesn’t work as reported in the

Software Interface Guide.

This will be corrected in future releases of

library firmware.

PCR 19853 The drive firmware update through the

Remote Management Pages sometimes

fails.

Try the procedure again, if it still fails use the

primary port connection to update drive

firmware.

PCR 19997 During a I/E column port operation, if

Release Magazine is selected from OCP

and tapes are moved around, the library

can fail after the door closes and a re-

scan occurs.

If load ports are being accessed, do not attempt

to release the magazine. This will be corrected

in future releases of library firmware

PCR 20130 The User password is rejected if it

contains “_”.

Do not attempt to use “_” with a user password.

Instead, use another non-alphanumeric

character in its place. This will be corrected in

future releases of library firmware.

PCR 20354 A drive log download from a Quantum

LTO-3 HH tape drive can cause a brief

loss of communication to the remote

management pages. The library status

icon will change to Communication

Down.

This is only a temporary loss of communication

(30 seconds to 2 minutes). After that time, the

communication to the remote management

pages will return. This will be corrected in

future releases of library firmware.
