Symptoms:
	PHSS_26875:
	Id = HSLco32416  SR:H555007051
	    During backup following messages are reported:

	      "[Normal] From: BSM@<host> "<datalist>" Time:<time>
	       [61:1011]   Received reconnect request from
	       BMA@<host> "file".

	       [Normal] From: BSM@<host> "<datalist>" Time:<time>
	       BMA@<host> "file" reconnected successfully.".

	Id = HSLco33017  SR:H555007269
	    Library robotic mechanism is not released after tape
	    eject.

	Id = HSLco33264  SR:H555007381
	    After failed backup session due to an I/O drive status
	    error, important information about the error in
	    debug.log file is missing.

	Id = HSLco33563  SR:H555007513
	    Medium verification error is reported after
	    successfully completed backup:

	      "Medium verification completed, 1 errors found".

	Id = HSLco33982  SR:H555007663
	    ACSLS query fails for STK 9940 media.

	Id = HSLco34050  SR:H555007700
	    Backup fails with an error:

	      "[Critical] From: BMA@<host> "<device>" Time:<time>
	       [90:30] SM/MA protocol error => aborting".

	Id = HSLco34266  SR:H555007798
	    The earlier patch PHSS_26203 had introduced behavior
	    that can cause OmniBack II to abort if non-OmniBack II
	    tapes are detected. When this behavior occurs, messages
	    similar to the following will be displayed:

	      "[Warning] From: BSM@<host> "<datalist>" Time:<time>
	        "tar" medium in device "<drive>".
	        The medium will not be used for backup.
	       [Minor] From: BMA@<host> "<drive>" Time:<time>
	        [90:190] Invalid format version of OmniBack II
	        medium.
	       [Normal] From: BMA@<host> "<drive>" Time:<time>
	        ABORTED Media Agent "<drive>"
	       [Critical] From: BSM@<host> "<datalist>" Time:<time>
	        None of the Disk Agents completed successfully.
	        Session has failed."

	Id = HSLco34139  SR:H555007739
	    After OmniBack II detects dirty drive and loads a
	    cleaning tape, option for medium header check aborts
	    the backup session.

	PHSS_26203:
	Id = HSLco30584  SR: H555006666
	    Omniback does not check if the medium is corrupted
	    at the end of the backup.

	Id = HSLco30657  SR: H555006675
	    Some GRAU libraries cannot be properly configured
	    with Omniback 4.00.

	    ACS Media Agent does not recognize LTO drives.

	Id = HSLco30326  SR: H555006608
	    OmniBackII A.04.00 does not support HP VS80 and
	    Benchmark VS640 libraries.

	PHSS_24980:
	Id = HSLco27797	 SR: H555005766
	    TapeAnalyser fails to work with Ultrium 1-SCSI drive.

	Id = HSLco27834	 SR: H555005787
	   NULL device capacity is limited to 4 GB.

	Id = HSLco27870	 SR: H555005799
	    When restoring a backup that spans over two media,
	    session fails with the following error:

	      "Invalid position specified. (Invalid seek
	       position.)".

	Id = NSMex04534	 SR: H555006003
	    Configuration of an Ultrium device on Solaris system
	    fails.

	Id = HSLco27114  SR: H555005592

	    Backup fails with "SM/MA protocol error" mesage.

	Id = NSMex04530  SR: H555006362
	    Media import sometimes fails due to I/O errors.

Defect Description:
	PHSS_26875:
	Id = HSLco32416
	    Due to incorrectly set timeout it is possible that
	    reconnect occurs at beginning of backup if reconnect
	    option is used and OB2PORTRANGE environment variable
	    is set.

	Resolution:
	    Timeout is set to correct value.

	Id = HSLco33017
	    When split library in SAN environment is assigned to
	    2 systems and "omnimm -eject" is run on host B, host A
	    can no longer access the changer.

	Resolution:
	    Library robotic mechanism is released after tape
	    eject.

	Id = HSLco33264
	    Not all information is written to the debug.log after
	    I/O drive status error occurs.

	Resolution:
	    Information is added to the debug.log file.

	Id = HSLco33563
	    With OmniBack II A.04.00 release verification of DA
	    block part is introduced. In case that data length for
	    the data record is "0", verify reports an error.

	Resolution:
	    Verify is changed in order to ignore "0" data length
	    for data record, because this does not influence data
	    restore.

	    Part of SSPUX400_029.

	Id = HSLco33982
	    In case that STK 9940 drives are configured as T9840,
	    query does not work correctly because OB2 expects that
	    those drives are configured as type 3590.

	Resolution:
	    Configuration for STK 9940 is changed in order to be
	    recognized as T9840 media type.


	Id = HSLco34050
	    In case that reconnect option is used for backup, it
	    is possible that the Media Agent fails due to a
	    protocol error.

	Resolution:
	    The protocol between Session Manager and Media Agent
	    is changed in order not to acknowledge normal
	    formatted messages.

	    Complete functionality of this fix will be available
	    when Cell Server patch PHSS_26209/PHSS_26210 is
	    installed - or successors of it.

	    Part of SSPUX400_031.

	    Please see Special Installation Instructions.

	Id = HSLco34266
	    If 'InitOnLoosePolicy' is set to 0 and foreign tape
	    is loaded OmniBack II aborts backup session instead
	    of issuing a mount request.
	    When loading a tape medium header check is run. If the
	    medium is foreign or blank OmniBack II aborts backup
	    session.

	Resolution:
	    If loaded tape is foreign or blank OmniBack II does not
	    check medium header when closing device.

	    Part of SSPUX400_033.

	Id = HSLco34139
	    Header verification can not handle a dirty drive
	    situation.

	Resolution:
	    If OmniBack II detects cleaning tape medium header is
	    not checked before unloading.

	PHSS_26203:
	Id = HSLco30584  SR: H555006666
	    Medium header verification is not implemeted.

	Resolution:
	    Environment variable OB2DISABLEHEADERCHECK is
	    introduced.
	    Medium header is checked by default. Setting the
	    variable to 1 in /opt/omni/.omnirc file turns the
	    functionality off.

	    Part of SSPUX400_012 and SSPUX400_020.

	Id = HSLco30657  SR: H555006675
	    Omniback 4.00 does not support LTO drives on GRAU
	    libraries.

	Resolution:
	    Omniback 4.00 supports LTO drives in GRAU libraries.

	Id = HSLco31274  SR: H555006790
	    DAS Media Agent is checking incorrect environment
	    variable.

	Resolution:
	    Setting environment variable OB2DASDRIVESTATUS2 to 1
	    in the /opt/omni/omnirc file, next to OB2DASDRIVESTATUS
	    makes usage of more than 15 drives possible.

	    Part of SSPUX400_015.

	Id = HSLco31293  SR: H555006798
	    Query operation hangs when performed on GRAU
	    libraries with more than 1000 tapes.

	Resolution:
	    Query operation can handle more than 1000 tapes
	    within GRAU library.

	Id = HSLco31403  SR: H555006826
	    If append fails during positioning, the tape is not
	    marked poor.

	Resolution:
	    Error handling is improved.

	    Part of SSPUX400_017.

	Id = HSLco31696  SR: H555006885
	    LTO drives are not supported with Omniback ACS
	    integration.

	Resolution:
	    Omniback ACS integration supports LTO drives.

	Id = HSLco30326
	    OmniBackII A.04.00 does not support HP VS80 and
	    Benchmark VS640 libraries.

	Resolution:
	    OmniBackII A.04.00 supports HP VS80 and Benchmark VS640
	    libraries on HP-UX, Linux and Sun Solairs systems.

	PHSS_24980:
	Id = HSLco27797
	    TapeAnalyser does not recognize Ultrium 1-SCSI drive.

	Resolution:
	    TapeAnalyser recognizes Ultrium 1-SCSI drive.

	Id = HSLco27834
	   Checking for medium size includes NULL device as well.

	Resolution:
	   NULL device is removed from size checking.

	Id = HSLco27870
	    Restore fails because of nonexisting error reported.

	Resolution:
	    Backup sessions that are span over two or more media
	    are properly restored.

	Id = NSMex04534
	    Omniback does not recognize Ultrium devices on
	    Solaris systems.

	Resolution:
	    Ultrium devices are properly configured on Solaris
	    systems.

	    Please see Special Installation Instructions.

	Id = HSLco27114
	    Cleaning signal is incorrectly intercepted because of
	    two REQUEST SENSE.

	Resolution:
	    REQUEST SENSE is reduced from two to one.

	Id = NSMbb42922
	    Media Agent does not handle messages properly
	    in cases when reconnect is needed.

	Resolution:
	    Media Agent handles reconnect messages properly.

	Id = NSMex04530
	    Media import uses a lot of search operations in
	    order to achieve better performance. In case of
	    bad quality of drives or tapes, it sometimes fails
	    with an I/O error.

	Resolution:
	    New OB2 environment variable is introduced:
	    OB2NOSEEKIMPORT.

	    If this variable is set to 1, Media Agent will read
	    through the complete tape and it will not use any
	    search operations.

	    This option reduces the chances of experiencing
	    I/O errors during media import, but its performance
	    is 3-4 times slower.

	    If OB2NOSEEKIMPORT is set and the tape contains
	    the "OB-crc" field, not only the tape is verified but
	    also the "OB-crc". Since a copied tape (omnimcopy)
	    will contain "OB-crc" field as well if the source tape
	    did contain "OB-crc" fields, importing such a tape
	    will also be "OB-crc" checked.
