Enhancements
Maintenance Pool
When you update the group to PS Series firmware to v10.0, a pool that is named maintenance is created by default. You no
longer have to remove the member from the group to perform updates or maintenance of EqualLogic members. You can move
the member to the maintenance pool to perform any maintenance activity. The maintenance pool behaves like the default pool,
but it does not support any data operation. The system names the pool maintenance by default. You can rename the pool, but
you cannot delete it.
You can see information about this pool by invoking any of the following commands:
● member vacate
● pool show
● pool rename
● pool select <pool_name> show
NOTE:
Maintenance pool space cannot be used by user because no data operation is allowed in the maintenance pool.
Maintenance pool capacity, however, is added to total group capacity.
Time-to-Live
This feature is applicable for SC to PS cross-platform replication only. In earlier releases, PS did not honor the Time-to-Live
(TTL) field and replica snapshots were never deleted from PS no matter what the TTL value was. TTL now deletes the replica
snapshots on the PS array based on the TTL value sent by the Storage Center during the creation of a replica snapshot. Only
the expired snapshots are deleted.
NOTE:
● Modifying the TTL value on the Storage Center is supported with Dell Storage Manager 2018 R1 or later.
● The latest replica snapshot for a volume is never deleted even when it has expired.
grpparams test-email-home CLI Command
A new command, grpparams test-email-home was created to test whether EmailHome is enabled. For command usage
and output information, see the Group Manager CLI Reference Guide.
Active Directory Search Path Optimization
PS Series v10.0 provides the option to disconnect the Base DN from search paths and adds two search paths, group-
search-dn and user-search-dn. These two options enable Active Directory to perform recursive object search within a
specified path. If you do not specify either of these two new options, the behavior of the ldap server-list create
command is the same as earlier releases.
System Limits and Compatibility
This section includes information about supported control modules, configuration limits, replication partnerships, and Manual
Transfer Utility versions.
