— Failback is now a cluster-wide operation that provides significant
performance improvements.
— A/PF type arrays are now supported by DMP in a clustered environment.
— Support for B_FAILFAST flag
— Coexistence of DMP with third-party drivers
— Storage Expert: System Administrators sometimes find that gathering and
interpreting data about large and complex configurations can be a difficult task.
Consisting of a set of simple commands that collect and analyze Base-VXVM
configuration data, Storage Expert produces a summary report that recommends
configuration improvements.
Impact
VxVM version 4.1 adds the following new features over VxVM 3.5:
• ISP Service: VERITAS Intelligent Storage Provisioning (ISP) allows you to organize
and manage your physical storage by creating virtual storage devices, application
volumes based on externally defined rule base.
• Cross-Platform Data Sharing: CDS allows VERITAS products and applications to
access data storage independently of the operating system platform, enabling them
to work transparently in heterogeneous environments.
• Storage Expert: System Administrators sometimes find that gathering and
interpreting data about large and complex configurations can be a difficult task.
Consisting of a set of simple commands that collect and analyze Base-VXVM
configuration data, Storage Expert produces a summary report that recommends
configuration improvements.
