Enhancements in HP Clustered File System 3.6.1

HP Clustered File System 3.6.1 includes the following new features and implementation

changes:

• Performance Dashb oard and MxS Perfmon extension to the native Windows

Performance tool. The Performance Dashboard provides server and cluster

performance data over a period of time (the last hour, day, week, month, or

year). Filesystem data is provided for individual PSFS ﬁlesystems and can be

aggregated for all PSFS ﬁlesystems. Th e MxS Per fmon extension extends the

native Windows Performance tool by adding Performance Objects and counters

for HP Clustered File System.

• Support for Alternate Da ta Streams (ADS) in the PSFS ﬁlesystem. Filesystems

created under 3.6 .1 automatically have ADS support. F iles ystems created in

previous HP Clustered File System releases must be upgraded to enable ADS

support.

• Support for 8.3 shor t ﬁle names and name tunneling in the PSFS ﬁlesystem. This

featuremustbeenabled manually on those ﬁlesystems requiring 8.3 support.
