Quantum 2.4.1 manual Limitations, Operating System Description Component Affected

Limitations

This table lists the limitations that have been discovered in this release of SNMS.

Operating System/	Description
Component Affected
IRIX	StorNext FS uses 64-bit inode numbers. Programs compiled without 64-bit
	support may experience problems working with files with inode numbers
	greater than 2 GB. This issue is not unique to StorNext, but may be
	encountered by some legacy applications when working with StorNext FS.
	SNMS only supports SGI 64-bit versions of IRIX on operating systems that
	use the SGI version of the QLogic QLA2200 or QLA2310 FC-HBAs.
	SNMS and StorNext FS are shipped as separate, installable streams for
	the maintenance (m) and feature (f) releases of IRIX. You need to select
	the correct maintenance or feature streams of SNMS and StorNext FS.
	Otherwise, you will encounter problems during installation and while
	running the product.
	Use the uname -aRcommand to determine the running version of IRIX.
	• If you are using the maintenance stream of SNMS or StorNext FS, the
	stream is listed as 6.5.19m, 22m, or 23m. For this stream, you must
	install the maintenance release of SNMS or Stornext FS.
	• If you are using the feature stream of SNMS or StorNext FS, the stream
	is listed as 6.5.19f, or 22f. For this stream, you must install the
	feature release of SNMS or StorNext FS.
	• If you are using IRIX level 6.5.23, you must install the maintenance
	stream of SNMS or StorNext FS.
	On many versions of IRIX, the root crontab contains the following entry
	which is used to remove old application crash dumps and temporary mail
	files:
	find / -local -type f '(' -name core -o -name dead.letter ')'
	-atime +7 -mtime +7 -exec rm -f '{}' ';'
	If StorNext file systems are mounted, they will be traversed by this find
	command which can have a dramatic impact on the performance of other
	applications currently using these file systems. To prevent the traversal of
	StorNext file systems, modify the find command so it reads:
	find / -local '(' -type d -fstype cvfs -prune ')' -o -type f
	'(' -name core -o -name dead.letter ')' -atime +7 -mtime +7 -
	exec rm -f '{}' ';'
