June 2015
Purpose of This Release
The Scalar i6K i12.2.2 release details bug fixes described in the Resolved Issues
section.
Visit http://www.quantum.com for additional information about the Scalar
i6000 and prior releases.
New Features and Enhancements
This release contains no new features or enhancements.
General Information
• The standalone LMC client is not provided by default. Contact Quantum
Service for details.
• JRE is not required with the standalone LMC client.
• If media is encrypted on an IBM drive using Library Managed Encryption
(LME), the library will initially report the media as being unencrypted when
it is actually encrypted. The encryption status of the media will be properly
reported once the media is re-mounted in the drive.
• To help maintain system integrity and for marketing purposes, Quantum
regularly collects system information through automatic emails. These
emails contain configuration and status information only, and do not
contain any customer data stored on the system. To disable this function:
1 Log on to your library.
2 Go to Setup > System Setting > Physical Library.
3 In the Send Usage Statistics area, select the Disable radio button.
4 Click OK.
• The Web client places a cookie on the user’s computer to provide the last
user’s credentials upon login. The cookie only collects the user’s credentials
to facilitate login, and does not collect any other user data.
2 Purpose of This Release
Security Scanners
Quantum runs the following Security scanners against the library:
• BeyondTrust Retina Network Security Scanner version 5.18.3.2656.
• No critical issues were reported

communication issue with the key server.
Users need to sync the key server
cluster manually.
Verify that communication to the key
server is operational (perform Path
Diagnostics).
If communication with the key server
is not impacted, the issue is that the
keys cannot be imported due to
being wrapped with a certificate
(public key) that does not match the
server’s private key.

upgraded to latest drive firmware may
come up in the library in passive mode.
51994 When a drive sled is added to a partition it
may not appear in RES data.
The drive should come back online
after the firmware update is
complete and the diagnostic ticket
will auto close. If not, follow the
directions on the diagnostic ticket to
troubleshoot.
If multi-initiator operation without
reservations is being reported, you
can filter the diagnostic tickets.
From the GUI, configure the library to
enable diagnostic ticket filtering
(Setup > Notifications > Tickets
Filter).
Reboot each drive individually. If that
doesn’t fix the issue, reboot the
library.
Make sure that the robot(s) is
enabled and initialized before
physically adding the drive to the
library.
54091 During a backup, if the drive loses both FC
connections, failover will occur but the
media will not be moved to home slot.
51702 During IVT, data pertaining to the drive-
side magazines in the right parking
module is not included in the report.
To get the media to return to home
slot from Net back Up (NBU):
1 Select Devices > Robot.
2 Right click.
3 Select Change.
4 Browse to select robot device.
5 Click OK.
6 Click OK.
7 Click OK. Media is then put in it’s
home slot.
Make sure that the calibration targets
are located in the correct column and
row.
If calibration targets cannot be in
their proper position because of drive
location, you can move the drives to
different positions in the drive sled.

Description Workaround
54202 If you disconnect the cable from a control
path drive that is connect to a host HBA,
the library will lose connectivity to the
robot.
54220 If the control path drive fails over during
an import, any media in the picker will not
be discovered.
54580 A Series 3 control module may show the
presence of two CMBs even though there
is only one.
54630 3948014 If the email addresses in the Contact tab
of the Notifications dialog and the Email
Notifications dialog are the same, an
email will ‘bounce’ (ie, undeliverable) and
fail to be delivered.
1 Update path to robot.
2 run library audit
checklabel = barcode.
3 Media will now return to its home
slot.
4 Users are now able to run
simultaneous backups to both
drives without repairing FC
connection on Host HBA.
1 Run checkin libvolume search=yes
to pickup missing media
2 Then rerun the checkin libvolume
search=bulk to import remaining
media in I/E.
There is no negative effect to library
functionality. The second CMB listed
is actually the MCB.
Check:
Setup > Notifications > System
Setup (Email Address field), and
Setup > Email Configuration
(Sender Address field)
54852 During a change to the internal IP of the
library the GUI can hang if you wait too
long to respond to dialog prompts.
55202 When upgrading from i11.x to i12.x, all
ticket suppression filters will not be
restored. Restoring a configuration back to
i11.3 will also not restore the filters.
55216 In libraries larger than 8 frames,
a geo-addressing issue may cause
diagnostic tickets related to CMBs and
HDCs to be generated in error.
55492 When upgrading from i11.3 to i12.2.1, the
partition is not mapped or listed in the
Access Group Configuration.
Respond to the dialog prompts in a
timely manner. If you do wait too
long, reboot the library.
Before the upgrade, note which
filters you have set and then reset
them after the upgrade is complete.
Reboot the library.
