display component status on the GUI or with the ibrix_chassis, ibrix_pv, and
ibrix_health commands.
• Support for Antivirus software.
• New ibrix_evacuate command to move data from one segment to another. This feature was
previously provided with the ibrix_rebalance command.
• New upgrade60.sh utility to upgrade pre-6.0 file systems for software snapshots.
• CIFS enhancements:
LDAP can now be used as the primary authentication method for users accessing CIFS shares.
LDAP can be configured with the GUI or the ibrix_ldapconfig command.
◦
◦ LDAP ID mapping can now be used as a secondary lookup method to Active Directory for
users accessing CIFS shares. LDAP ID mapping can be configured with the GUI or the
ibrix_ldapidmapping command.
◦ Monitoring CIFS services on file serving nodes. This is done with the new
ibrix_cifsmonitor command.
◦ Share-level permissions for users or groups. You can assign share-level permissions on the
GUI or with the ibrix_cifsperms command.
• Data validation enhancements:
New data retention, utilization, and validation reports.◦
◦ New autocommit feature. Files that are not changed during the Autocommit period
automatically become WORM or WORM-retained when the period expires.
◦ Data retention can now be enabled on file systems created before the 6.0 release. After
upgrading the pre-6.0 file system with the upgrade60.sh utility, run the following command
on the file system to enable data retention:
ibrix_reten_adm -u -f FSNAME
See the user guide for information about configuring data retention features.
file systems are created in 64–mode by default
Prior to IBRIX 6.1, file systems were created by default with 32-bit compatibility mode enabled. Starting
in 6.1 the default behavior has changed and compatibility mode is now disabled. IBRIX creates file
systems in 64-bit mode unless you changed the compatibility mode when creating the file
system. However if the original file system was created with 32-bit compatibility mode enabled and
you later upgrade to 6.1 or later and then extend the IBRIX file system, new segments will be formatted
into the file system as 64-bit mode segments.
