Solaris StorNext FS only supports 64-bit inodes for installations of the software on
Solaris 8. (CR 8208).
For LUNs there is a maximum limit of 850 GB.
Recommendation
: To maximize support across all platforms, set LUNs to
be no greater than 850 GB when you are using Solaris 8 or 9.
On Solaris, by default, the /usr/lib/fs/nfs/nfsfind script is run
nightly by the cron daemon. This script contains a
find command that
traverses any local file system that is exported (shared) via NFS. If the
running of this script is interfering with the performance of processes
accessing StorNext file systems, it can be modified to skip them. To do so,
add the following line to the
find command in the script:
'(' -type d -fstype cvfs -prune ')' -o
The final find command should look like this:
find $dir '(' -type d -fstype cvfs -prune ')' -o -type f
-name .nfs\* -mtime +7 -mount -exec rm -f {} \;
Windows Windows-based StorNext FS clients do not support symbolic links that
point to a file system outside of StorNext FS. Symbolic links are created
either by a UNIX/Linux client or by a Windows client (and are referred to as
junctions).
If you are using the SNMS client software with Windows 2000, Windows
NT, Windows Server 2003, or Windows XP, turn off the Recycle Bin in the
StorNext file systems mapped on the Windows machine, so the file
systems will work properly.
1 On the Windows client machine, right-click the Recycle Bin icon on your
desktop and click Properties.
2 Click Global.
3 Click Configure drives independently.
4 Click Local Disk onto which you have mapped SNMS.
5 Select the Do not move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files
immediately when deleted check box.
6 Click Apply and OK.
Virus-checking software, such as McAfee Virus Scan, can severely
degrade StorNext FS performance. If you have anti-virus software running
on your Windows 2000/Windows NT/Windows Server 2003/Windows XP
machines, ADIC recommends you configure the software so that it does
NOT check StorNext FS.
