Release Notes for 1.1.1
Release information for Oracle's StorageTek SL4000 library software version 1.1.1.
WARNING:
If the current library firmware version is 1.0.1.69 or less, you must first upgrade to version 1.0.2.75 or 1.0.2.76 before upgrading to version 1.1.1.Media Validation Enhancements
- Implemented full support of LTO Media Validation operations from the GUI by adding IBM LTO Standard and Complete Verify tests.
- Improved T10000 Media Validation.
STA Support
- Added support for STA 2.4.0+. Refer to the STA documentation for more information: https://docs.oracle.com/en/storage/storage-software/storagetek-tape-analytics/
- Improved the SCI/OSCI interface to support STA.
General Enhancements
- Added support for the IBM LTO9 drive.
Note:
See Library Support of LTO9 Tape Calibration. - Improved dual robot initialization:
- If one robot fails any step of the initialization, the failed robot will be pushed out of the way and the library will complete the initialization.
- Robots will be correctly identified in the GUI and logs, even if initialization fails, regardless of whether the database was cleared prior to initialization.
- Improved handling of intermittent single robot failure in a two robot library with PEMs and AEMs.
- Improved handling of robot initialization in a library with only a base after a clear database restart.
- Added a library resource monitor to collect data on memory usage, load, queue sizes, etc. to aid in diagnosis of library health.
- Updated the Rail Power Supply Diagnosis job to work with the Bel Power 1200W supplies during door open and close events.
- Updated the help to explain the definition of “Effective Auto Clean Enabled”.
- Added support for non-disruptive replacement of one robot in a two robot library.
- Added the ability to force a dump on IBM LTO6+ drives.
- Increased load and unload timeouts to 16 minutes to cover the extended timeouts for IBM drives per IBM specification.
- Upgraded the following components:
- snmp4j: 2.8.7
- snmp-agent: 2.7.4
- log4j: 2.14.1
Bug Fixes
- Enhanced configuration import so that it will no longer timeout with the import of a large library configuration.
- Updated the state of the rail AC and DC power distribution devices to "Usable" upon announce of the LOER card.
- Corrected a problem that prevented the right AEM from enclosing a single robot library during a rail sweep of the left AEM.
- Corrected an issue that caused the GUI login to fail with “Your session has expired”.
- Corrected a problem with T10000 FICON drives failing to discover.
- Improved robot initialization to prevent collisions.
- The library now actively attempts to re-establish connection with unreachable outbound (OSCI) destinations. Failed destinations will still be disabled after 48 hours (regardless of the retention period).
- The library now raises the AEM Safety Door on initialization, if the AEM Service Key is off.
- The library now only sends the SNMP Test trap if the notification type of 'Library' was selected.
- Improved robot initialization to prevent collisions.
- Corrected an issue that was causing the import of a certificate to fail.
Minimum Requirements for Related Software
ACSLS
- ACSLS 8.5.1+ is required to support SL4000 1.1.1. (the feature card must also be at version 1.0.2 or higher).
STA
- STA 2.4.0+ is required to interact with SL4000 1.1.1.
SDP
- SDP2 version 2.5.1+ is required for support of SL4000 1.1.1.

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.
