3.6.0 Matrix Server Release Notes (5697-7087, February 2008)

PolyServe Matrix Server

New Features in Matrix Server 3.6.0

Matrix Server 3.6.0 includes the following new features.

Security features:

• Single sign-on. Matrix Server now uses AD single sign-on semantics to

authorize users attempting to access the matrix.

• Role-Based Security Control. You can create roles, define the

operations that are allowed or denied for each role, and add specific

user or group accounts to the roles.

• Auditing of all login attempts and user-initiated actions that change

the cluster configuration.

Availability features:

• Dynamic volume recovery.

• Online membership partition repair and replacement. Membership

partitions can now be added, repaired, or replaced while Matrix

Server is running.

Matrix management features:

• New event viewer. The event viewer shows the Matrix Server event

messages currently in the Windows event log. You can filter the

output to limit the messages that appear, and you can display details

about specific messages.

• New event notifier services. The event notifier services can be

configured to send an SNMP trap, to send email, or to run a script

when specific Matrix Server events occur.
