New Software Features-Feature Stream Only
Introduced in IRIX 6.5.16
• For the IRIX 6.5.16f release, the -extend option was added to the
XVM show command.
• For IRIX 6.5.16f, CXFS features include the following:
– Support for multiple operating system (multiOS) clients, such as
Solaris nodes and Windows NT nodes.
– I/O fencing, which allows a problem node to be isolated from the
storage area network (SAN) so that it cannot corrupt data in the
shared CXFS filesystem; this is required for Solaris nodes and
Windows NT nodes. A Brocade switch is required to support I/O
fencing.
– Support for a two-node CXFS cluster running with FailSafe and
an L1 controller on Origin 300 and Origin 3200 systems.
See the CXFS Version 2 Software Installation and Administration Guide
