14064 MxFS for CIFS cannot remove share that is a DFS root target

If you have a CIFS share that is also a DFS root target, the DFS

service must be stopped before the share can be removed.

Occasionally it is necessary to remove shares managed by MxFS

for CIFS, such as at shutdown time. If MxFS for CIFS 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 DFS).

To avoid this problem, do not use a share managed by MxFS for

CIFS as a DFS root target. Instead, use NTFS for DFS root targets

and use PSFS for DFS link targets.

14083 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

approximately 60 MB.

Workaround. To limit the size of the log file and the saved

copies, you can change the rotation threshold of the

monitor_agent.log file. For example, to set the size of the file to

1 MB (6 MB total), add the following line to the end of the

Matrix Server pstrace.ini file.

monitor_agent.log 1000

The file is in the following location, where C: is the drive where

Matrix Server is installed:

C:\Program Files\PolyServe\MatrixServer\conf\pstrace.ini
