Description
Cannot remove share that is a DFS root target
If youhaveaCIFS sharethatisalsoaDFS roottarget, the DFS service mustbe
stopped before the share can be removed. Occ asionally it is necessary to remove
shares managed by FS Option for Windows, such as at shutdown time. If FS
Option for Windows is unable to stop the DFS service, it will not be able to remove
such shares and they will remain after the product has stopped.
Until you implement a workaround, this problem can randomly impact availability
for some clients.
Workarounds. Restart the product (although the share remains, the product will
function correctly); or manually remove the share after the product has stopped
(either use DFS configuration tools to remove the share, or stop DFS, remove the
share, and then restart D FS).
To avoid this problem, do not use a share managed by FS Option for Windows
as a DF S root target. Instead, use NTF S for DFS root targets and use PSF S for
DFS link targets.
monitor_agent log file can grow excessively
The monitor
_agent.log
file can grow to approximately 10 MB before it is
rotated. When the file is rotated, the previous five copies are saved. The current
and
saved log files can total approx imately 60 MB.
Workarou
nd. To limit the size of the log file andthe savedcopies, youcan change
the rotation threshold of the monitor_agent.log file. For example, to set the
size of t
he
file to 1 MB (6 MB total), add the following line to the end of the HP
Clustered File System pstrace.ini file.
monitor_agent.log 1000
The file
