Improved CIFS optimizations RiOS v3.0 provides additional improvements for a number of Windows file sharing applications and use cases. Proxy File Service v3.0 Proxy File Service (PFS) has been updated with RiOS v3.0. PFS provides continuous access to remote file data during WAN disruptions and provides high speed local file delivery with automated origin server replication. PFS v3.0 includes improvements in the areas of manageability and scalability. With PFS v3.
Limitations General limitations • Samba SMB client on Linux with either a Windows or Samba server gains only bandwidth optimization, not latency optimization. • An SMB mount from Linux to any CIFS server is not significantly accelerated. (It performs Scalable Data Referencing but does not perform Transaction Prediction.) • CIFS performance degradation occurs with multiple sets (pairs) of in-path HP EFS WAN Accelerators (Bug #3746).
Upgrading from version 2.1.11 to 3.0.4 This section describes how to upgrade the HP EFS WAN Accelerator software from version 2.1.11 to version 3.0.4. These instructions assume you are familiar with the HP EFS WAN Accelerator, the HP EFS WAN Accelerator CLI, and the Management Console. You do not have to clear the data store before performing a software version upgrade. To upgrade from version 2.1.11 to version 3.0.4: 1. Connect to the Management Console on each HP EFS WAN Accelerator. 2.
enable configure terminal hp agents stop Then, modify the network settings on iLO. After you have finished modifying the network settings, start the HP agents using the CLI: hp agents start An alternative is to modify the iLO settings using the iLO RBSU, available during system boot. See the HP Integrated Lights-Out home page at http://www.hp.com/servers/lights-out for information about iLO, and the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the documentation CD for information about RBSU.
150 PFS now has default sync interval values (local incremental 5 minutes, local full 24 hours, broadcast incremental 12 hours, broadcast full 7 days). 10056 Fixed PFS statistics page problems with row coloring and lack of indication what colors on bars mean. 10198 PFS sync times can be given as minutes, hours, and days on the web interface instead of only in minutes. 10673 Fixed optimization of Landesk traffic. 10949 Fixed wiggle in auto refresh on throughput page of web interface.
12100 Netflow now differentiates between LAN and WAN traffic in a WCCP environment. 12190, 12499 NFS ACLs are supported. 12266 Fixed overlapping open compatibility with Robocopy. 12296 Disallow WAN Accelerator from leaving domain while there were still PFS shares. 12312 The admission control alarm is allowed to be disabled. 12335 Fixed slow CIFS performance with EMC NAS. 12409 GUI port label RBT-Proto now lists 7744, 7830, and 7840. 12521 Default stat logger timeout is 1 hour instead of 10 minutes.
12855 Fixed problem where PFS believes that it is in a domain when it is not after an upgrade. 12869 Fixed "internal error 1001" when giving something like "protocol http server 0111.1.1.1" to the CLI. 12873 Fixed mgmt failure on CLI command protocol http prefetch extension *. 12901 Fixed CIFS crash in process_locking_andx_request_for_fe_issued_fid(). 12918 Fixed MS-SQL crash in ClientFElocal_rule::process_one (). 12934 Downgrade PFS SID replacement warning to info.
13145 Fixed an out of memory condition that may occur on 64-bit models. 13184 Fixed problem where modifying a fixed-target rule port label results in an error. 13188 Fixed a potential for a race condition in bulk stat registration. 13265 Fixed a CIFS crash in Smb::RequestBase::set_fid.
11639 Fixed a rare problem that results in poor optimization when certain patterns are encountered. 11697 Added some Exchange 2007 compatibility. 11737 Fixed CIFS parser shut down due to error=SMB_SHUTDOWN_ERR_DUPE_FID. 11746 NFS V2 or V4 mounts now give a message indicating non-optimization. 11750 Fixed client polling in Outlook/Exchange 2003 cached mode. 11762 Fixed problem where web user may be logged out after 45 minutes when viewing reports. 11925 Fixed a problem in FDAction::execute.
12256 Fixed slow performance with overlapping open while saving MS Word file. 12286 Fixed snmpd crash upon shutdown. 12313 Fixed CIFS problem in Smb::Tree::get_foi(). 12314 Fixed a memory leak in the data store. 12332 Added new option to stop sending CDP frames on all interfaces if one is down. 12356 Removed some NFS V2 and V4 error messages from logs. 12389 Fixed an NFS crash. 12393 telnetd support added. 12407 Fixed a CIFS problem in Smb::Tree::get_file. 12425 Fixed MAPI compatibility issue between 2.1.
12676 Fixed an MS-SQL problem in TdsState::process_queue. 12694 Fixed a frozen thread when PFS is being used. 12904 Fixed PFS problem "do_heavy_tree_delete() @ [459]: Got Error NT_STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND obtaining directory." Version 3.0.1 n33 to Version 3.0.2 n43 5279 CLI handles long config names properly. 7732 aux is not allowed to overlap with other networks on the box. 8362 Fixed CIFS problem involving convert_to_ascii() failed messages. 9498 Only 1000 lines of PFS logs are included in sysdump.

The user must clean the data store when changing from 2.1 to 3.
12160 Fixed an MS-SQL problem with "fetch get last" that caused '(!"unexpected") at ../protocol/tds/tds_cursor.cc:396)'. 12207 QoS rule parameters shown in running-config (revmap) are now correct. 12258 Fixed NFS optimizer problem that may hide .snapshot directory on Network Appliance file servers (or other fileservers that have hidden directories or files that are not given in the readdir reply). 12403 Fixed problem using high speed TCP with heavy traffic on OC-12.
