New features in version 2.1.5 The following features are available in this release: Support for new models Support for the DL320-520, DL320-1020, and DL320-2020 models has been added. These new models, based on HP ProLiant DL320 G4 servers, provide greater optimized bandwidth and TCP connections. The DL320-520 supports 1Mbps bandwidth and 300 connections (150 with PFS enabled). The DL320-1020 supports 2Mbps bandwidth and 625 connections (200 with PFS enabled).
Serial clustering You can provide increased optimization capacity by deploying several HP EFS WAN Accelerators back-to-back in an in-path configuration to create a serial cluster. HP strongly recommends you use DL380-5010 HP EFS WAN Accelerators in serial clustering deployments. Port labeling You can assign a port label to a range of ports when you define configuration rules in the HP EFS WAN Accelerator.
Job scheduling Jobs are HP EFS WAN Accelerator command-line interface (CLI) commands that are scheduled to execute at a time you specify. You can schedule software upgrades in the Management Console or in the CLI; you must schedule all other jobs using the CLI only. You can view pending, inactive, and completed jobs in the Management Console. Connection Pooling Connection Pooling enables you to save an extra round-trip across the WAN for an initial connection.
• CIFS performance degradation occurs with multiple sets (pairs) of in-path HP EFS WAN Accelerators (Bug #3746). For example: client->DL320-2010->WAN->DL320-2010->DL320-1010->DL320-2010->server This problem is dependent on this configuration. Contact HP Technical Support for further information at http://www.hp.com. Upgrading from version 1.2.6 to version 2.1.11 Version 2.1.11 interoperates with version 1.2.6.
SH2 (config) # peer version min 6 SH2 (config) # peer version max 6 SH2 (config) # write memory SH2 (config) # restart 9.
NOTE: If you upgrade the remaining WAN Accelerators in your network (WAN Accelerator-5 through WAN Accelerator-10), and there are no more version 1.2.6 WAN Accelerators, you can remove all the version configurations on WAN Accelerator-1 through WAN Accelerator-4. 1. Connect to the Management Console on each WAN Accelerator. 2. Install the version 2.1.11 image in the Setup: Software Upgrade page. 3. Save the current configuration in the Setup: Configuration Manager page. 4.
IMPORTANT: If you are downgrading to a previous version of the HP EFS WAN Accelerator software, you must downgrade to a version of the software that has previously run on your machine. For example, you cannot upgrade from version 1.2.3 to version 2.0 or version 2.1 and downgrade to version 1.2.8. You must downgrade to version 1.2.3. and then upgrade to version 1.2.8. If you do not follow this step, your configuration will be discarded and unrecoverable.
Synchronization with Standalone PFS shares Synchronization with a Standalone PFS share may not work correctly. If using Standalone shares and synchronization, verify that it is working properly, or choose a different type of PFS share when using synchronization. Setting the system date/time When setting the system date/time in the web based GUI, if the date and time is significantly off, when set to the current date and time, the GUI will log the user off.

Version 2.1.2d build 14 to Version 2.1.
5108 You can use Windows 2000 SP4 Rolling Update 1 with PFS deployments. 4286 In PFS deployments, local mode shares and contained files maintain and honor "read+write+execute" permissions. These permissions are automatically mapped to "full control" permissions. rapanui/18 6708 Duplex error messages no longer appear when there is no actual duplex mismatch. rapanui/17 4328 the Management Console now displays statistics about discarded or denied connections.
6755 Excessive error messages with the "show connections" command have been fixed. rapanui/16 4328 When creating discard or deny in-path rules, you are alerted if you have mistakenly configured discard or deny rules which would cause all connections to fail.

6581 Fixed race conditions in intercept module that could lead to crashes under rare error conditions. 6597 In PFS deployments the verify action ignores the erroneous file attribute differences. 6397 On files in PFS deployments, archive bit differences when synchronizing file data are now ignored. 6598 Fixed "show stats throughput" command that erroneously showed zero throughput. 6603 In PFS deployments, ACL error messages in logs now include the file name and error number.
5880 Problem with 4-port card has been fixed. The HP EFS WAN Accelerator now looks up all the listening sockets instead of one to determine if there is an open connection for the packet. 5879 MAPI2003 forward_request bug has been fixed. 5608 Previously, in rare situations, with out-of-path redundant deployments when the master HP EFS WAN Accelerator is restarted, the backup HP EFS WAN Accelerator takes over and no longer drops the connection. Version 2.1.1 build 10 to Version 2.1.
5195 The default "Synchronization Port" value for "Automated Online Datastore Settings" in the Management Console now displays correctly (port 7744). 1909 If the Management Console hangs while executing external process, others no longer fail. PFS 5807 If a PFS share synchronization is enabled, and the WAN is down, when the synchronization is disabled it now succeeds every time. 5787 Rarely, the Management Console displays a deleted share while the RCU has deleted it internally.
MS-SQL 5791 The HP EFS WAN Accelerator no longer drops connection after saving a loaded Microsoft project without an edit. 5725 Added upgrade rules for HP EFS WAN Accelerator service launch parameters. SAMBA 5663 Added parent wild card node for Samba state nodes. HP EFS WAN Accelerator service 5785 Now clean up peer state (for example, connection pooling, proxy entry, and so forth) in certain OOB drop cases. Miscellaneous 5727 Upgrading to 2.0 from 1.2 no longer causes network interface card problems.
62 The CLI no longer displays an erroneous warning for the "cli default show config_hidden" command. 3960 The HP EFS WAN Accelerator checks for valid interface name in "ip in-path-gateway" setting. 3851 If an invalid job identification number is given in the "no job " command, an error message is now generated. 3340 The HP EFS WAN Accelerator now sends an error message if you attempt to specify a port that is already "bound" by the HP EFS WAN Accelerator.
show protocol cifs internal: displays CIFS internal settings. [no] protocol cifs enable: enables or disables CIFS optimizations. [no] protocol mapi enable: enables or disables MAPI optimizations.
