Fixes & Enhancements
This is the service pack for Dell NX36x0 to upgrade Fluid FS to version 2.0.6110.
This service pack contains important fixes to the previous versions of FluidFS V2.0 and earlier code including:
a.Possible issue when accessing Microsoft Outlook PST files on a NAS system
Microsoft Outlook client with multiple PST files stored on the NAS system CIFS Share can experience unexpected changes or overwriting of the opened PST files. Dell also recommends that customers do not save any .pst files in NAS, based on Microsofts recommendation (reference links are listed below).
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287070 How to manage .pst files in Microsoft Outlook
Note: Connecting to .pst files over LAN/WAN links is not supported, and problems connecting to .pst files over such links can occur.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297019/EN-US limits to using personal folder .pst files over LAN and WAN links
b.NDMP improvements - NDMP backup utilities such as Networker utilize the Token-Based Backups feature are supported. NDMP backup using Tivoli Storage Manager is supported.
c.Service pack upgrade stalls - Rare timing issue due to a controller getting rebooted before it gets to finish the requisite actions needed for the upgrade to complete successfully or a controller not getting the reboot command are addressed.
d.File system cache handling improvements under heavy IO operations.
e.Improvements in User identity management handling - LDAP net groups, AD with LDAP traffic signing, one way trusted domain and NIS configuration updates, NIS group binding
f.Improvements in handling AD name resolution in non trivial network environments.
g.VM migration improvements by returning physical size instead of logical size for the Linux command DU which is used to estimate the file space usage and helps to summarize the disk usage of all customer files
h.Events and log improvement after upgrade, shutdown and reboot actions on the NAS appliance.
