Known issues and limitations in L&TT 4.17
Virtual libraries and D2D
•
L&TT supports the most recent releases of D2D emulated drives is broken for all emulated LTO
drive types, due to a change within the drive emulation behavior and therefore cannot be
worked around with previous versions of L&TT.
•
L&TT support is limited to what can be done with emulated devices. Use the relevant Command
View GUI
to access the support information for the physical device.
Tape libraries
•
The MSL6480 currently does not support the Device Self-test.
•
Ethernet access specifics:
Minimum firmware versions for LTO-5 drives: I58W, Y58W, Z58W ◦
◦ Minimum firmware versions for LTO-6 drives: J27W, J2AS, 22CW, 32AW
◦ Firmware update over Ethernet, updates the firmware but the drives are not rediscovered
by the library on completion. HP recommended to use Command View TL or the MSL
RMI for updating the drive firmware in the libraries.
◦ Drive and L&TT behavior is unpredictable (and not fully tested) when the drive is being
used at the same time that L&TT is talking to it. It is recommended that the library is inactive
when using L&TT over Ethernet, as is recommended for the host access.
•
In the front panel window, the ESL G3 library shows LTO-6 drives as LTO-5 drives. This is a
library firmware issue and will be fixed in a future library firmware release.
•
The ESL G3 tape library does not offer diagnostic access over its host interface, which limits
L&TT to standard functionality. This still allows most of the library tests to be run, but pulling
tickets and updating firmware is not supported. To pull tickets and update library firmware
use Command View TL. Access to the drives is unchanged and full functionality is available.
•
When using L&TT on a Linux operating system, firmware downloads to an MSL2024 Library
may fail. If this happens, the firmware does get downloaded to the unit, but L&TT fails to reflect
the status of the unit when the download completes.
