3.4.0 Matrix Server Release Notes

PolyServe Matrix Server Release Notes 4

Documentation Updates

Upgrade for HP Secure Path Users

If you are upgrading from Matrix Server 2.7.2 to the 3.4.0 release, we

recommend that you migrate HP StorageWorks Secure Path to DSM.

Before making this change, be sure to consult with HP regarding their

storage support for HP DSM.

Maximum Length for Disk UIDs

The maximum length for a Matrix Server disk UID is 128 characters. If a

disk UID exceeds this limit, Matrix Server will not be able to import the

disk into the matrix. If you are using a disk array such as iSCSI that

allows you to specify a disk volume name as part of the UID, be sure that

the total UID does not contain more than 128 characters.

Supported Filesystem Features

The PSFS filesystem supports a wide variety of NTFS filesystem

interfaces and semantics. It smoothly integrates into existing Windows

environments, supporting all of the standard filesystem read, write, open,

and close calls and simplifying application deployment and scalability.

The PSFS filesystem supports the following features of the NTFS

filesystem:

• Byte-range locking. PSFS supports both local-node and cross-node

byte-range locking.

• Cached and non-cached file access.

• Case-insensitive naming.

• Case-sensitive naming.

• Content indexing. PSFS support is the same as the FAT filesystem. (See

“Unsupported Features” for more information.)

• Directory Change Notification (DCN). PSFS supports both local-node

and cross-node Change Notification.

• Disk quotas.
