Features no Longer Supported
• Version 4 and Version 5 file system disk layouts for shared (cluster) mounts
VxFS 5.0 supports shared (cluster) mount only for file systems with disk layout 6 or 7. If you have a
shared (cluster) mounted file system with disk layout versions 4 or 5, you will need to mount this file
system locally (without the -ocluster mount option) and upgrade the disk layout to version 6 or 7
before mounting it with the -ocluster mount option.
• I/O error mount options
In this and future releases, only the ioerror=disable mount option, is supported for
cluster-mounted file systems. Other ioerror mount options are not supported.
• Disk Array Support
VxFS 5.0 does not support the following disk arrays:
— HP StorageWorks XP48 and XP512 Disk Array
— HP StorageWorks Virtual Array 74xx
