Known Issues Not Yet Fixed:
- L&TT may not
complete device scans when using the Microsoft Storport driver. The standard
SCSIPort driver works correctly.
- Some L&TT operations may produce error messages
when working with partitioned libraries. Libraries are partitioned using
Command View ESL software. Command View should be used to generate support
tickets for, and download firmware to, partitioned libraries. Future
Library and Tape Tools releases may alert users in these configurations.
- The
"LTO Stuck Tape Test" has been removed from this release as some issues in
the test have not yet been fixed.
(Users upgrading to 3.5 SR2 from a previous L&TT release may still see the
test available for LTO Ultrium 1 or 2 drives
