6.3.2 release
Enhancements
The intent of the 6.3.2 release was to resolve key issues found in earlier releases.
Updated firmware included in the Firmware Management Tool (FMT)
• 1210m controller firmware version 1.78 (9730)
Fixes
• ibrix_cifs and other scripts now correctly display output for user names starting with an “n”.
• When a user sets a directory tree quota on a directory, exports the directory tree quota to a file,
or deletes the directory tree quota and then imports the file to set the quota limits on the directory,
the quota limits and the directory tree quota ID are now set correctly.
• The registry entry “AllowCaseSensitiveFcb” has been added to allow both case-sensitive
and case-insensitive FCB searches within the HP-SMB code. Allowing for case insensitivity prevents
multiple FCBs for the same file, which could lead to DCN-Notify assert failures and dropped CIFS
service connections.
• The ibrix_fsck command can also now recover a dentry to the directory and if this dentry
points to a directory, the log provides further analysis. To recover a dentry, include the -o and
-g options in the ibrix_fsck command as shown in the following example:
ibrix_fsck -p 2 -f <FSNAME> -c -o -g
• On a highly active system, the Express Query authority table merge is prioritized over sorts. This
ensures SQL database information is current.
• The continuous remote replication (CRR) health checks feature (which checks for errors in the CRR
logs) was modified to use the time stamp of an error to determine if it is included in the health
report. This ensures that only the latest errors are included in the report and not repeating errors
previously found. This reduces the memory and CPU cycles used.
• CRR log files are rotated regularly according to the log rotation schedule even if the log files are
in use. If log files are not rotated, it can cause the root (/) of the host's file system to fill up.
• The creation time for creating StoreAll file systems using SMB, NFS, or HTTP was incorrectly
displayed as "12/31/1969 05:00 PM" (depending on the time zone). Now the creation time
is correctly set; or if no creation time exists, the mtime is used.
• Delete requests that originate on the remote server are now processed by multiple threads.
Previously, these requests were processed by a single thread, which slowed performance.
• Changes were made to the ibrix_fsck command during phase 1 to ensure that the command
does not abort due to an illegal inode number.
• The ibrix_fsck command has been enhanced to provide warnings and/or fixes for specific
corruptions in the group descriptor tables used to define the geometry of each block group on a
segment. These corruptions include block_bitmap, inode_bitmap and inode_table block
values.
