3.4.0 Matrix Server Release Notes

PolyServe Matrix Server

New Features in Matrix Server 3.4.0

Matrix Server 3.4.0 includes the following new features:

• Disk quotas on volumes containing PSFS filesystems. See the PolyServe

Matrix Server Administration Guide for information about enabling and

managing quotas.

• Hardware snapshots of PSFS filesystems that are located on HP EVA

arrays.

• Shadow copies of shared folders. This feature enables users to access a

copy of a filesystem at a specific point in time and retrieve or copy

previous versions of files.

• New service and device monitors:

SHARED_FILESYSTEM device monitor. This monitor is associated with

a specific PSFS filesystem and can be used to verify that the filesystem

can be accessed.

NT_SERVICE monitor. This monitor is configured for a specific NT

service and controls the starting and stopping of the NT service and,

optionally, dependent services of the specified NT Service. The

monitor can be configured as either a service monitor or a device

monitor, depending on the effect that you want it to have on the

matrix.

• New “Storage Summary” window on the PolyServe Management

Console. This window shows information about the PSFS filesystems

configured on the matrix and also lists the LUNs that are currently

unused and available for filesystems.

• “Drag and drop” can now be used on the Applications tab of the

PolyServe Management Console to reconfigure Matrix Server entities.
