Purpose of This Release
This release contains enhancements and corrections to problems encountered in previous versions. A summary of major items follows:
NEW DRIVE SUPPORT (#527)
•Additional drives supported by this release of FileServ:
- IBM 3580 LTO - Solaris only until supported by IRIX tpsc device driver
NEW OS SUPPORT (#507)
•Add support for Solaris 8

•Add support for IRIX 6.5.10m
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TAPE COPIES RAISED(#493)
• The maximum number of tape copies for a file has been raised to four.
FILESTEERING BY DRIVEPOOL(#517)
•The capability to specify which drives are used in making individual tape copies has been added to the filesteering filesize.config file. This capability allows a user with multiple archives to steer where different tape copies are made. This can be accomplished by creating different storage drivepools for each archive and then specifing the drivepool to be used for each copy in the filesize.config file.
