HP StorageWorks Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator 2.1.11 release notes (392363-007, January 2007)

HP StorageWorks Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator 2.1.11 release notes 5
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). The DL320-2020 supports
10Mbps bandwidth and 2000 connections (1000 with PFS enabled).
The DL320-520 now supports Proxy File Service (PFS).
Support for new Bypass NICs
The DL380-3010 and DL380-5010 models now support multiple N2c and N2f Bypass NICs. Each model
now supports up to two of the same card.
New features in version 2.1.3
The following features are available in this release:
CIFS Optimization
CIFS optimization may be disabled by using "no protocol cifs enable" in the Command-Line Interface. It
may be enabled by using "protocol cifs enable."
MAPI Optimization
MAPI optimization may be disabled by using "no protocol mapi enable" in the Command-Line Interface. It
may be enabled by using "protocol mapi enable."
Policy Based Routing (PBR) with Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)
CDP is a protocol used by Cisco routers and switches to obtain neighbor IP addresses, model, IOS version,
and so on. The protocol runs at the Open System Interconnection (OSI) layer 2 using the 802.3 Ethernet
frame.
New features in version 2.1
The following features are available in this release:
Proxy File Service
You can enable Proxy File Service (PFS) if you have an HP EFS WAN Accelerator, DL320 -1010,
DL320-1020, DL320-2010, DL320-2020, DL380-3010, or DL380-5010. PFS provides fast access to local
files and continuous access to files in the event of WAN disruption. PFS allows you to store local copies of
files at the remote site (that is, a branch office) in an integrated virtual file server resident on the HP EFS
WAN Accelerator. PFS requires the HP EFS Remote Copy Utility (RCU).
High-Speed TCP
For the HP EFS WAN Accelerator DL380-5010, High-Speed TCP provides dramatic acceleration and
throughput for high bandwidth networks where the WAN pipe is large.
Microsoft Structured Query Language (MS-SQL) Acceleration Module
Enabling the MS-SQL Acceleration Module allows you to send SQL requests and responses between clients
and servers to improve optimization for Microsoft Project 2003 (MS Project). This feature is optional. If you
want to optimize other database systems, contact HP Professional Services to assist you in configuring the
HP EFS WAN Accelerator.
