ESLe TapeAssure invalid tickets

[Morten Dalgaard]

I've recently upgraded our ESL712 Interface Manager with a 256MB ram module to enable TapeAssure data collection.
CVTL now shows that it is collecting TapeAssure tickets from the library but the database is not being populated with any data. I have checked the CVTL logs: Command View TL\log\da.log and das_0.log
CVTL correctly recieves tickets every time a tape drive has unloaded a tape, but every ticket shows up in the da.log as having missing data in them, and being marked as invalid.

Extract from da.log:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard\Command View TL\supportticket\proactivelog\_supportticket.ltd

The drives have had multiple tapes in them since last power-cycle

I have tried manually making a support ticket in CVTL, and using the .ltd files from this, putting them into the \Command View TL\supportticket\proactivelog folder. These files are correctly read into the TapeAssure database with no errors.

CVTL 2.70 runs on a freshly installed Windows 2K8R2 server. It has no FC/SAN connectivity.
Library firmware versions are:
IFM: I270
IFC: 5963
Tape Drives: L68W
Robotics: 7.60.10

We use Netbackup 7.1 for backups.

Has anyone seen issues like this before?
