Errors corrected with possible delays 3. Total rewrites or rereads 4. Total errors corrected 5. Total times correction algorithm processed 6. Total bytes processed 7. Total uncorrected errors Part of SSPUX410_049. Change Request: H555009027 OmniBack II does not include 'show tape copy progress' functionality. Resolution: This functionality is added. To enable it, add the new environment variable "OB2COPYTAPEMSG=k" in ".omnirc" file. OmniBack II then for every k-th segment shows a message: "|Normal| From: CMA-ACS@<hostname> "<device>" Time: <time> Copying segment k" Change Request: H555009078 The device autoconfiguration fails, because the drive is not recognized. Resolution: Autoconfiguration "Product ID" string in scsitab file is changed from "Mammoth2" to "MAMMOTH2". Change Request: H555009095 OmniBack II does not properly handle mounted tapes. Resolution: Tapes in home position and mounted tapes are handled the same way. They are both considered 'resident'. Change Request: H555009101 In case that Media Agent host uses the old NIO SCSI bus, OmniBack II is not able to get the capacity of a mounted Magneto Optical (MO) medium. Resolution: Media Agent is improved to correctly get the capacity of the MO medium. Change Request: H555009139 Read/write of Cartridge Memory on LTO devices does not work properly. Resolution: Media Agent is improved to work correctly with Cartridge Memory on LTO devices. Change Request: H555009315 In AIX SAN environment it is possible that a device is not available for a couple of seconds due to other activities in SAN environment. In such cases the "write()" command fails with EBUSY error. Resolution: Retry is added in case of EBUSY error. Retry can be configured with environment variables OB2SPTRETRY (default 10 retries) and OB2SPTSLEEP (default 10 seconds) in ".omnirc" file. Part of SSPUX410_057. Change Request: H555009407 OmniBack II is performing cleaning of DLT drives in case that cleaning light is on. But in some cases this light is still on even after drive is cleaned and OmniBack II repeats cleaning cycle. Resolution: New environment variable, "OB2DLTCLEANINGLIGHTCHECK" is added in ".omnirc" file. By default it is set to "0" and cleaning is not performed when cleaning light is on. If variable is set to "1", cleaning is performed. Change Request: H555009859 OmniBack II is not designed to mark tape as occupied when tape mounting fails with "STATUS_VOLUME_IN_DRIVE". Resolution: OmniBack II properly marks tape as "Poor" in case when mount operation fails with ACS error: "STATUS_VOLUME_IN_DRIVE". Part of SSPUX410_058. PHSS_27458: Change Request: H555006734 When the devices automatically unloads, OmniBack II tries to unload but fails since the device already unloaded tape.
