32 Terabyte File System Support
Support for VxFS 3.5 file systems of up to 32 TB has now been certified. Files can be a
maximum of 2 TB. File systems larger than 2 TB must be created on a VERITAS Volume
Manager volume.
For further information on VxFS, see “VERITAS File System (HP JFS / HP OnlineJFS)”
on page 138.
HFS (Deprecated)
HFS is HP-UX’s implementation of UFS.
HP wants to give advanced warning to customers that the HFS (also known as UFS) file
system type is now deprecated. It will still be installed and supported for several more
releases, but it will be removed from the OS in a future release, to be determined. You
are encouraged to start migrating your data from HFS to VxFS (VERITAS File System).
HFS is not obsolete in this release of HP-UX 11i. In a future HP-UX release, the HFS file
system type will not be available with the base OS system and will be generally
unsupported (for new releases). Support will continue for earlier releases which included
HFS in the base product.
HP CIFS Client
CIFS is the native networking protocol on Microsoft Windows operating systems. The
HP CIFS products for HP-UX provide a wide range of integration strategies for HP-UX
and Windows. The HP CIFS Client enables the HP-UX host to mount directories shared
by remote CIFS servers (Windows, HP-UX, and other server platforms on which CIFS
has been implemented). The HP CIFS Server enables the HP-UX host to provide access
to its own shared directories by remote CIFS clients (Windows, HP-UX, and other CIFS
clients); it emulates Windows file and print services.
With these products, in a heterogeneous Windows and HP-UX network, any system can
be a client or server to any other system.
The HP CIFS Client bundle also includes PAM-NTLM, a “pluggable authentication
module” that allows HP-UX logins to be authenticated by a centralized service on a CIFS
domain.
