Supported Software | HP UX Encrypted Volume and Filesystem (EVFS)

Supported Software

Software used with EVFS can be categorized into three types:

•Type 1 Software: Applications without kernel components. EVFS supports Type 1 Software.

Examples of Type 1 software include FTP, rcp, CIFS Server, and Oracle® Database 10g. (This list is not exhaustive and is included only to provide examples of Type 1 Software.)

•Type 2 Software: Software with kernel modules that access the file system (Virtual File System, VFS, or HFS or VxFS). EVFS supports Type 2 Software. The NFS server daemon is an example of Type 2 software.

•Type 3 Software: Software with kernel components that directly access physical volumes and implement file system or volume management functionality. EVFS does not supprt Type 3 Software. Examples of Type 3 software include Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM), and file systems other than HFS and VxFS, such as Veritas Cluster File System (CFS) and Clearcase Multiversion File System (MVFS). (This is not an exhaustive list and is included only to provide examples of Type 3 Software.)

Figure 1-4illustrates the data paths for the software types described in the preceding list.
