This release provides improved library operation and improved
compatibility with LTO-4 tape drives.
The library now allows you to track and report the total number of
moves by categories.
ScanDisk automatically scans the compact flash when the library starts
up.
Partition Configuration wizard now lets you change the default motion
behavior for use with CommVault backup software.
The encryption feature in Symantec NetBackup 6.5.2 no longer
interferes with the encryption settings of the library when using LTO-4
tape drives.
Make sure that you perform the updates in this order to avoid issues:
1. Update the library to BlueScale 10.4.0 or later.
2. Upgrade the LTO-4 tape drive firmware to version 8940 or later.
3. Update to NetBackup 6.5.2.
The library now correctly returns Sense Code 6,28,0 when the TAP is
opened.
The library type is now correctly identified during a firmware update.
Drives no longer disappear unexpectedly after you enable Drive
Performance Monitoring.
A library with LTO-4 tape drives now returns the correct Sense Code
information when moving a tape with broken leader.
Robotic motion diagnostic tests now operate correctly.
Sending three or more abort commands to the robot (SCSI medium
changer) in a QIP-based partition no longer causes the QIP to mark the
transporter as failed.
