Metadata Tiering
Metadata tiering provides the ability to store data and metadata in different storage tiers . When creating or expanding a NAS
pool, administrators can specify the Storage Center tiers to use for data and metadata. The NAS administrator has the option to
optimize the setting for metadata-intensive I/O patterns, which allocates a larger portion of the NAS pool for metadata than the
non-optimized setting.
128 TB Files
The size of files supported by FluidFS has increased from 16 TB to 128 TB, starting with this release.
SNMP v3
FluidFS supports SNMP v3 (read requests) and v2, but does not support using both versions at the same time. SNMP v3
requires user authentication.
Automated Scheduled Reports
Administrators can schedule reports in Dell Storage Manager for system capacity, performance, load-balancing, and NAS volume
content statistics.
Statistics on NAS Volume Contents
FluidFS v6 provides statistics about files, based on their size and age.
Improved Protocols and File Access Diagnostics
Improve support process for administrators handling data-access issues.
