What’s Changed
The Base VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 for HP-UX will be installed by default on all of
the Operating Environments in the December 2001 release. Customers who purchase
one of these OEs will no longer need to install Base VxVM. However, none of the VxVM
add-on products are available as part of any OEs.
The VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 includes the following new features:
• enhancements to the Dynamic MultiPathing (DMP) feature via a new Device
Discovery Layer, which makes it easier to add new array support without requiring a
kernel rebuild or a system reboot
• 4-node CVM support for MC/ServiceGuard and ServiceGuard OPS Edition
• CVM and shared disk group support for striped mirrors, online relayout, and Oracle
resilvering
• full support for HP-UX workstations
• performance improvements
Compatibility
Disk groups created with the Base VERITAS Volume Manager 3.1 for HP-UX product
must be upgraded to a new disk group version supported with VERITAS Volume
Manager 3.2. This upgrade will be transparent to customers when updating to the
December 2001 release. See the vxdg (1M) manual page for additional information about
upgrading disk groups.
Documentation
All of the VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 documents are available on the Instant
Information CD, as well as on the http://docs.hp.com web site in both HTML and

CIFS/9000 Client and CIFS/9000 Server
With CIFS/9000 Client and CIFS/9000 Server, Hewlett-Packard provides a Common
Internet File System (CIFS), the Microsoft protocol for remote file access. CIFS is built
into all recent Windows operating systems, including Windows 95, 98, NT 4.0, and 2000.
By providing both server and client, CIFS/9000 enables file and print interoperability for
environments with a mix of UNIX and Windows platforms.
