• Support for the CXFS product
CXFS provides a cluster file system that allows file sharing between
machines. CXFS requires a new volume manager, XVM. The IRIX
6.5.7 release version of CXFS contains metadata server recovery. See
the CXFS Version 2 Software Installation and Administration Guide for
the administrative shutdown procedures and additional
troubleshooting information.
The Caveat and Release Note Updates link at
http://support.sgi.com/6.5/caveat_updates.html
should be checked periodically for information on the latest CXFS
and XVM patches, descriptions of implemented CXFS and XVM
features, updated Release Notes, or any late-breaking caveats.
