Release Notes for 1.1.0

DNS Configuration Has Been Removed

The option to configure an external DNS server has been removed. Please take appropriate action to ensure that any remote host has explicitly been defined only by IP Address, which include:

Outbound StorageTek Control Interface (OSCI) notification recipients
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap recipients
Optional Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers

Considerations for Migrating to Library-Managed Encryption

Library-managed encryption is supported for IBM LTO6+ only. If you are encrypting T10000 drives, HP LTO, or IBM LTO5 drives, you should continue to use the existing drive-enrolled encryption method using VOP.

Current OKM customers that want to migrate to LME must:

Un-enroll the drives from OKM
Enroll the library
Enable specific drives for encryption.

For more information, see Library-Managed Encryption (LME) and Configure Library Encryption (LME).

General Enhancements

Implemented Library-Managed Encryption (LME) for IBM LTO6 drives and higher.
Upgraded the following third party components:
- HttpClient to version 4.5.11
- HttpCore to version 4.4.13
- SNMP4J to version 2.8
- SNMP4J-Agent to version 2.7.1
- JSCH to version 0.1.55
Added an option to export the configuration file when restarting the library with the clear database option.
Partition IDs are now preserved when importing a configuration file.
Implemented bond mode 1 active-backup dual networking support on public interfaces customer port 1 and customer port 2.
- Previous code versions implemented bond mode 3 active-active support requiring compatible customer networks.

Bug Fixes

The library will clear database audit files 14 days or older to better manage log file space.
Enhanced monitoring of the local and shared data storage spaces. If the usage of any storage space is greater than 90%, the library generates a system report and issues a fault event to notification destinations registered for the "Fault" event type. This notification includes email and OSCI destinations.
Corrected a problem with some faults not creating support bundles, causing the SDP API to hang.
Corrected a problem where a concurrent rail initialization, code load and robot announce can cause rail initialization to wait forever for resources.
When OSCI destinations go offline, delivery attempts to that destination will be paused.
New OSCI notifications will be subject to a retention limit of 2 to 24 hours, based upon the destination.
Implemented multiple improvements in support bundle contents and their creation.
Corrected a problem where system cells could be filled up via the SCI interface or the GUI.
Improved robot fault handling.
Implemented a method to prevent rail power fault reports from generating when a door open event occurs.

Drive Specific Enhancements

Implemented drive management:
- Added the ability to retrieve drive dumps from all drive types.
- Added the ability to force a drive dump on the T10000 series drives.
Added virtual drive display information for both T10000 and IBM LTO drives to the Drive Properties page of the GUI.
Added the fiber port speed and loop id to the Drive Properties page of the GUI.
Added the drives table to support bundles.
Added a drive communication 'activation-on-demand’ service to improve drive discovery.
Improved T10000 media validation.
Implemented initial support for IBM LTO media validation.
All LTO drives now set port configuration to auto-negotiate.

GUI Enhancements

The library status now displays “Operative, Auditing, Online” while the top-level audit job is running.
Implemented drive management:
- Added the ability to retrieve drive dumps from all drive types.
- Added the ability to force a drive dump on the T10000 series drives.
- The Drive Properties page shows the availability of a drive dump.
- The Drive Properties page shows port speed and loop id for attached drives.
Media validation has been enhanced:
- Added the option to initiate a media validation for LTO4+ cartridges.
- Added the option to stop an in-progress media validation for both T10000 and LTO.
- Improved the completion status on the Activities Events tab.
Added LME configuration. See Configure Library Encryption (LME).

SNMP Enhancements

Renamed the MIB to: ORACLE-TAPE-LIBRARY-MIB.txt.
- Download the latest version: 2.06

Bug Fixes

The library sends SNMP traps when the following occur:
- Main door and AEM open/ close
- Library online and offline changes
- Audit completion
Fixed the SNMP engineId generation.
Improved SNMP device fault traps to include more information.
Updated the MIB to have the trap varBind OID descriptions.

LTO Drive Firmware Versions

The following LTO drive firmware versions have been verified in the SL4000 library. For the drives to work correctly, ensure the drives are at the minimum versions specified in the table below. Lower drive firmware versions may work, but have not been fully tested with 1.1.0. For the IBM LTO drives to run in ADI mode, switch 5 must be on.
