Contents of the Matrix Server 3.1.1

Release

This release includes the following new features:

• A Performance Dashboard that can be used for monitoring activities

such as cluster-wide resource utilization and PSFS filesystem I/O

traffic.

• Support for EVA snapclones. A snapclone is similar to a hardware

snapshot, except that it completely copies the source filesystem data at

a particular point in time.

• Support for the SLES9 2.6.5-7.201 kernel.

• Support for the IBM sdd multipathing driver for use with the IBM

SAN VC 2145 storage array.

• The mxcheck utility now verifies that the permissions are correct on

the Matrix Server installation directories.

The release also includes fixes for the following problems:

• Defect 8767. The Management Console displayed the snapshot

options for all psv devices.

• Defect 9243. mxcheck required that a gateway be present on the

network and prevented the product from starting. In the 3.1.1 release,

a warning is issued if a gateway is not present on the network and

Matrix Server is allowed to start.

• Defect 10224. NFS single-stream performance was slow.

• Defect 10894. Some mx commands did not show command usage with

--help but instead listed all available commands.

• Defect 10971. The mxcollect command did not collect message logs

that had been rotated.
