Requirement

 

 

HP-UX

SNFX clients: A minimum of 1 GB of RAM is required.

 

 

Solaris

SNFX clients: A minimum of 512 MB of RAM is required.

 

 

Linux

SNFX clients: A minimum of 512 MB of RAM is required.

 

 

Windows 2000

SNFX clients: A minimum of 512 MB of RAM is required.

Windows Server 2003

 

Windows XP

 

 

 

Network LAN using TCP/IP

For the SNFX metadata traffic, ADIC requires that a separate, dedicated,

(all clients and servers

switched Ethernet LAN be used.

must be interconnected)

 

 

 

SAN

SNFX clients: An FC-HBA or equivalent SAN communication device

 

where the storage is visible and accessible to multiple SAN clients.

 

 

 

SNFX does not support multiple hosts connected through an FC hub

 

device because the resulting propagation of Loop Initialization Protocol

 

resets can cause data corruption.

 

 

Client Hard Disk

SNFX requires 200 MB of hard disk space for binaries, documentation,

 

configuration, and log files.

 

 

Disk Drives

SNFX only supports the file system when it is running on FC-3 SCSI

 

drives.

 

 

Windows Memory Requirements

The SNFX 1.3 release has a number of performance enhancements that enable it to better react to changing customer load. These enhancements come with additional memory requirements. Because the Windows operating system has unusual memory resource limitations it is sometimes necessary to adjust StorNext memory tuning settings to provide optimal operation.

When running multiple file systems in the Windows environment the StorNext memory tuning parameters must be adjusted or the machine will run out of memory. This can be seen is by bringing up task manager and watching the Non-pagedtag in the Kernel Memory pane in the lower right hand corner. Microsoft warns that the maximum amount of non-paged memory consumed cannot exceed 256MB. However, the actual amount varies depending on your configuration. For example, on a machine with 256MB of memory ADIC testing has found that non-paged memory must not exceed 96MB.

Non-paged memory is the most critical resource limitation but not the only one. For example, Microsoft warns that paged memory consumption must not exceed 470MB. Similarly, the actual amount also varies depending on configuration.

Memory exhaustion can be observed in the following ways:

commands failing

messages in the system log about insufficient memory

fsmpm process mysteriously dying

repeated FSM reconnect attempts

messages in the application log and cvlog.txt file about socket failures with the status code (10555) which is ENOBUFS

messages in the system log about ConvertExtent failed with error 20
