[. . . ] Visit http://www. quantum. com for additional information about the Scalar DLC and previous releases. New Features and Enhancements The Scalar DLC 2. 7 new features and enhancements include the following: · Additional Drive Support The Scalar DLC now supports IBM LTO-4 FC drives. The LTO-4 drive provides industry standard encryption capabilities and incorporates native encryption. LTO-4 increases capacity and performance levels from the previous LTO-3 generation. · Tape Alert Support A drive issues a tape alert whenever there is a problem in the drive that relates to a tape cartridge. [. . . ] If you choose to use the Auto Clean Cartridges feature, you do not need to configure clean pools. To create a cleaning partition, you can use the Create Clean Partition Wizard. · Creating Clean Partitions Cleaning partitions contain only cleaning cartridges designated for auto-cleaning operations. Assigned cartridges in a cleaning partition are not considered part of the logical library. You can create cleaning partitions during the initial configuration and at any time after that, as long as unassigned slots are available. If no slots are available, you can still create a cleaning partition using the Create Cleaning Partitions wizard. The new cleaning enhancements are SCSI-only For more information, see the Scalar DLC Reference Guide. 2 © September 2007, Scalar DLC Release · DAS/ACI Firewall Options The Scalar DLC offers enhanced firewall functionality. You can access the new options using Configuration > Clients > DAS Clients · Use FireWall: Select to activate the TCP/IP receiver for the client If you choose to enable Use FireWall, you also have the following options: · · Accept only FW connection: Select to refuse the RPC connection TCP/IP Port: The TCP/IP port address of the library · ROBAR Coordinate Remapping Improvements allow ROBAR clients to: · · Address all storage slots in larger libraries Remap physical library element addresses to logical element addresses that do not exceed ROBAR limits · SYN Attack Detection Settings If you are running Windows 2003 with SP1 or later, prior to initiating the installation of SDLC 2. 7 software, the system automatically performs a check of the Windows registry to determine if the parameter that handles the firewall protection for SYN attacks is enabled or disabled. To prevent MS SQL conflicts and abnormal termination of Scalar DLC, it recommended that you disable the SYN attack detection setting. After choosing Software > Scalar DLC > Install, you are prompted to disable the detection parameters. If you are installing Scalar DLC on a Windows 2000, or a Windows system where the detection setting is already enabled, the parameter check will silently exit and the Scalar DLC installation will continue.

LTO4 volser scsiclient indicates already allocated for another client Workaround Ignore GUI status when performing configuration changes. Do not use the same media volsers for both DAS and SCSI clients. Neither the S10K nor the Scalar DLC can handle the duplicate volser assignments. The allocation reserve resulted from duplicate volsers - one set assigned to the DAS logical library and one set assigned to the SCSI logical library. Export all required cartridges first and then make all needed configuration changes. 67156 SLDC 2. 6 HF01 - Export of numerous cartridges fails - system just goes in hold state.
