4.0.0 HP Polyserve Matrix Server Release Notes (T5392-96051, March 2010)

DescriptionIssue
Add or Remove Programs appears to hang
On startup, Add or Remove Programs enumerates the contents of all top-level directories of mounted
volumes. When the root or top-level directories on PSFS filesystems contain large numbers of files,
Add or Remove Programs appears to hang during this step.
Workaround. Do not overpopulate the root directory and the top-level directories of PSFS filesystems
with large numbers of files. Instead, place the files in subdirectories.

Filesystem is not recreated with previous options
The Recreate Filesystem window on the PolyServe Management Console contains an Options button.
If you recreate a filesystem and do not open the Options dialog, the filesystem will be recreated
with the default options instead of the options that were set when the filesystem was originally
created.
Workaround. When you recreate a filesystem, open and then close the Options dialog before
clicking OK on the Recreate Filesystem Window. The filesystem will then be recreated with its original
options.
13107
Shadow copy option is available for snapclones
When you create a snapclone on the Create Snapshot window, the option to “Share as Shadow
Copy of Shared Folder” is available; however, a shadow copy cannot be created from a snapclone
and the option is unused.
13275
mx quota --defaultQuotaType command is case-sensitive
The argument for the mx quota --defaultQuotaType command must be specified in lower-case
letters. A Java exception occurs if upper-case letters are used.
13284
Synchronized bookmarks do not work with secondary interface
If you are unable to connect to the matrix using the primary network interfaces on your servers
because of the network infrastructure or a firewall, the “Synchronize Server Bookmarks Automatically”
option should be disabled. If it is not disabled, bookmarks that contain addresses on a secondary
interface will be replaced with the unreachable primary interface.
13411
The Java client VM terminates when mx commands are run from a monitor script
Although not a fix for this issue, placing a .matrixrc file in the following folder may prevent the
crash.
C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\
13587
vssadmin cannot be used with snapshots
When snapshots are created through the PolyServe Management Console or the mx snapshot
command, they are created via the HP EVA array interface without the involvement of VSS (Microsoft's
Volume Shadowcopy Service). However, when you select the “Shadow Copies of Shared Folders”
checkbox, sufficient information must be created to inform VSS of the existence of the snapshot so
that it can be shared to CIFS clients.
These SCSF-enabled snapshots are visible in the output of vssadmin.exe list shadows and
they are identifiable by their all-zero GUIDS and other invalid information. These snapshots are not
real VSS snapshots, and cannot be deleted via the vssadmin command. They should generally be
managed with the PolyServe Management Console or the mx snapshot command instead.
