Contents of the 1.0.2 release
• HP ExDS9100 systems manufactured after June 2009 contain Virtual Connect 1/10Gb-F modules
instead of the previous Virtual Connect modules. The software continues to support either model.
• This release supports a smaller base configuration. The smallest system now comprises two per-
formance blocks (server blades) and one capacity block (array).
• When a 64 TB filesystem is created, the system now stripes the psv over all the LUNs. This improves
performance of such filesystems. The exdsmgr show filesystems command now shows
whether a filesystem is striped or not.
• It is now possible to specify several export options using the exdsmgr create vnfs command.
The options= argument now accepts several space-separated options enclosed in double quotes.
